✦ Synopsis
Carrots (Daucus carota L. var. Caro Pride) were extracted with supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SFOC 2 ) under various combinations of pressures and solvent modifiers at 40°C and analysed for their ␣and -carotene content by high pressure liquid chromatography. The SFCO 2 extraction at 40°C and 60.6 MPa with 5% chloroform as modifier afforded 111.16 and 148.32 g of ␣and -carotene per gram of dried carrot, respectively. Also, this method extracted 92.70% of the total carotenoids present in the dried carrots when compared to the solvent extraction using chloroform (100%).
