Abstract

The kinetics of extraction of carotenoids from orange flavedo was investigated. Extraction was carried out using a mixture of degrading enzymes and an edible oil as the solvent. More than 70 microg of carotenoids per g of wet flavedo were extracted within the first 3-4 hours. The results obtained were interpreted by a simple kinetic model considering the unsteady mass transfer of carotenoids in the two-phase system.
