Investigation of the Carotenoid Composition in the Petals of a Garden Hybrid Narcissus cvv ‘Golden Harvest’ The carotenoid composition of the petals of a yellow garden hybrid Daffodil is reported. As major compound (all‐ E )‐lutein was isolated. As minor compounds phytoene, phytofluene, (all‐ E )‐β‐carotene, (9 Z )‐lutein, (9′ Z )‐lutein, (13 Z )‐lutein, violaxanthin, and luteoxanthin were identified. The position of the ( Z )‐double bond of the different isomers of lutein could be proved by 1 H‐NMR spectroscopy.
