Abstract

The enzymatic conversion of torulene to retinal is demonstrated in in vitro tests using beta-carotene 15,15'-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.21) from the rabbit small intestine mucosa. This is the first evidence for the potent vitamin A activity of torulene. Little amounts of retinal also formed from methyl ester of torularhodin and from torularhodin.
