Relative solubility, stability, and absorptivity of lutein and .beta.-carotene in organic solvents

Craft, Neal E., Soares, Joseph H.·1992·Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

Abstract

The relative solubility, stability, and absorptivity of lutein and beta-carotene were determined in 18 organic solvents. The solubility of both carotenoids was greatest in tetrahydrofuran, while hexane exhibited the least solubility for lutein; methanol and acetonitrile exhibited the least solubility for beta-carotene. Stability was monitored for 10 days at room temperature by measuring absorbance changes at the wavelength maximum. In the majority of the solvents, initial absorbance decreased by less than 10% during the 10-day period. Degradation was greatest for both carotenoids in cyclohexanone. The relative absorptivities were determined by calculating the carotenoid concentration in a reference solvent using a reference absorptivity, and then Beer's Law was applied to the measured absorbance of the same carotenoid concentration in other organic solvents. Absorbance maxima and relative absorptivities were in good agreement with available literature values.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
