6. SPECTRAL RESEMBLANCE OF CAROTENOIDS More than one pigment can have the same absorption spectra, so retention time becomes important in discriminating between pigments. Alloxanthin…… λ max = 426, 454, 483 nm Diatoxanthin….. λ max = 427, 454, 482 nm Zeaxanthin……. λ max = 428, 455, 483 nm β-carotene…….. λ max = 433, 455, 482 nm
