Beta-carotene
APPLICATIONS
- Food industry.
- Pharmaceutical industry.
PANORAMA
Optimized microencapsulation process of beta-carotene extract by spray drying technique to enable the addition of beta-carotene in hydrophilic systems (food and pharmaceutical preparations) and to provide greater stability during processing and storage.
ADVANTAGES
- Formation of a barrier between the beta-carotene and the external environment, protecting it from humidity, light, oxygen, and preventing the loss of its antioxidant properties.
- Increased efficiency in the microencapsulation process of the extract rich in beta-carotene.
- Protection of beta-carotene’s antioxidant properties.
- Adding value to palm oil agro-industry residues to obtain an input with greater stability and shelf life.
