| Summary: | Lutein daily intake is related to the maintenance of visual and cognitive health. The incorporation of this lipophilic compound into an aqueous matrice requires the use of an emulsion as a carrier system. Lutein was extracted from marigold petals by supercritical fluid extraction, using sunflower seed as co-solvent at 3 different temperatures. Extraction efficiency was evaluated through the total carotenoid content. A colloidal beverage mimic system was prepared with an oil-in-water emulsion formulated with carotenoid extracts, and it was preliminarily observed that there was degradation of the carotenoids during 15 days of refrigerated storage. |
