Abstract:
... The demand for carotenoids from natural sources obtained by biological extraction methods is increasing with the development of biotechnology and the continued awareness of food safety. Natural plant-derived carotenoids have a relatively high production cost and are affected by the season, while microbial-derived carotenoids are favored due to their natural, high-efficiency, low production cost, a ...

Abstract:
... The performance characteristics of a multi-analyte method for the determination of all 10 carotenoids authorised as feed additives within the EU were assessed via an interlaboratory study. The analytical method is based on reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to an optical detector set at 410 nm. The analysis is particularly challenging due to the presence of var ...
