註釋
Considerable interest has been generated on the anti-cancer properties of carotenoids normally available from dietary, sources e.g. carrots. However, the richest and most abundant source of carotenoids (in terms of retinol equivalents) comes from palm oil of the Elaeis guineensis palm. Our studies on the chemistry and technology of palm oil carotenoids show that the carotenoids can be extracted from palm oil and its fractions, palm pressed fibres, oil from oleifera palms and the hybrids (Elaeis guineensis X Elaeis oleifera). Various methods of extraction have been explored but emphasis would be given to extraction from esterified palm oil.
