Rates of thermal (Z/E)-isomerization among all-E-, 9(9')Z-, 13Z-, 13'Z- and 15Z-isomers of zeaxanthin (1), natural violaxanthin (2), "semi-synthetic" violaxanthin (2a), capsorubin (3), capsanthin (4) and lutein epoxide (5) have been measured at temperatures over the range 333.4-368.4 K.From the specific rate constants calculated on the basis of four kinetic models, the Arrhenius and activation parameters have been derived.The effect of the different end groups and different solvents on the composition of the (Z/E)-equilibrium mixtures have been investigated as well.The rates of the isomerization reactions have been measured by HPLC, UV/VIS spectrophotometry and "classic" column chromatography.

Systematic chromatography has resulted in the isolation of four geometric isomers as products of iodine-catalysed isomerisation of lutein. 13C NMR spectral analysis has established their stereochemistry as mono-cis luteins with a cis-configured double bond at C-9, C-9', C-13 and C-13', respectively.Carbon-13 NMR has also provided unambiguous stereochemical assignment for the previously isolated four mono-cis capsanthins.
