The objective is to evaluate An innovative dispersion method (IM), planetary ball milling (PBM) is evaluated for its potential use in obtaining starch modifications together with in situ β-carotene dispersion. Native (N) ...

Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy was applied to characterize and to measure the concentration of β-carotene dissolved in a dioxane and water mixture. The reaction of β-carotene in the presence of nitrite anion and acid ...

Carotenoids, and β-carotene in particular, are important natural antioxidants. Singlet oxygen, the lowest excited state of molecular oxygen, is an intermediate often involved in natural oxidation reactions. The fact that ...

Carotenoids are natural pigments which are synthesized by plants and are responsible for the bright colors of various fruits and vegetables. There are several dozen carotenoids in the foods that we eat, and most of these ...

Brazil has a wide diversity of food sources of carotenoids. The updated Brazilian database consists of more than 270 items of fruits, vegetables and their prepared and processed products. The database demonstrates variations ...
