ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a process for purification of a mixture of carotenoids from palm oil concentrate to produce a crystalline mixture of a α-carotene, β-carotene, γ-carotene, and ε,ε-carotene as well as a product enriched in geometrical isomers of a β-carotene (9-cis-β-carotene, 13-cis-β-carotene) and α-carotene as well as ε,ε-carotene and γ-carotene.
