A PROCESS OF VOLATILE BIOGENIC SOLVENT(S) AIDED ENHANCEMENT OF COLOUR AND STABILITY OF LYCOPENE AND OTHER CAROTENOIDS IN PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF LIGHT AND USES THEREOF.

摘要

The invented process describes a novel approach of substantially stabilizing lycopene and other carotenoids in their solution form by dissolving them in safer, volatile, biogenic solvents like, but not limited to, cymene and ocimene. Thus, it provides an impressive level of prevention of their degradation in solution as well as ease of recovering it from the volatile biogenic solvent with co-recovery of the solvent. It also enables use of such solution(s), preparations etc, for existing or alternate or wider, better use(s) in products, formulations etc, of any kind.
