  • Can -carotene be recovered from palm oil?
  • Several methods have been developed for recovering of β-carotene from palm oil. The recovery of other minor compounds such as vitamin E, phytosterols, squalene are also present in literature (Phoon et al., 2018), although recovery of vitamin E is commonly performed from palm fatty acid distillate rather than from crude palm oil (CPO).
  • Can palm oil adsorb carotenes into polymeric resins?
  • The proposed approach involves the continuous adsorption of carotenes from crude palm oil onto polymeric resins, specifically Diaion HP-20. To evaluate the adsorption process, breakthrough experiments were conducted using solutions consisting of 10% oil and 90% isopropanol (w/w) at a temperature of 313 K.
  • How is palm carotene extracted from crude palm oil (CPO)?
  • Palm carotene was successfully concentrated from crude palm oil (CPO) by an adsorption process using a synthetic adsorbent followed by solvent extraction. Evaluation of feed CPO and CPO which underwent the carotene extraction process was conducted.
  • Is membrane separation effective in the recovery of carotenoids from red palm oil?
  • The results of this study showed that the separation by membranes is effective in the recovery of carotenoids from red palm oil, presenting a high potential regarding the use for industrial application in the near future. *Corresponding author.
  • What is the adsorption capacity of -carotene from hybrid palm oil?
  • The maximum adsorption capacity determined by the Langmuir model using Diaion HP20 for adsorption of β-carotene from hybrid palm oil at 30 °C was 0.91 ± 0.06 mg.g −1. Hybrid palm oil is extracted from Elaeis oleifera and contains a higher initial concentration of carotenoids than CPO.
  • Is adsorption a viable alternative for palm oil carotenoid recovery?
  • Several studies refer to adsorption as a viable and suitable alternative for palm oil carotenoid recovery, having the avoidance of the chemical conversion of palm oil as one of the main advantages [14, 15, 16, 17, 18].
