Abstract
Since carotenoids are likely to grow in importance and value, the recovery of carotenoids from palm oil and palm oil by-products is important. Numerous extracting methods have been developed to recover the carotenoids from crude palm oil; these include I) the saponification method, 2) the iodine method, 3) the molecular distillation method, 4) extraction by selective solvents and crystallization, 5) separation by adsorption and 6) gel permeation. Other procedures with regard to palm oil methyl esters (POME) were also reported. The object of this chapter is to classify and assess the various extracting methods proposed.
