β-Cryptoxanthin contents were determined from Citrus unshiu Markovich fruits grown in a greenhouse and open field of Jeju Island, off the southern coast of Korea. In a greenhouse and open field, the β-cryptoxanthin content in the peel was greatly increased by harvesting citrus fruits in the late season from August through November. However, β-cryptoxanthin content in the flesh was gradually increased and was superior to that of the citrus fruits grown in a greenhouse. β-Cryptoxanthin was efficiently purified from the flesh of citrus fruits harvested in the late harvesting season in November.
