Determination of Carotene and Xanthophyll in Alfalfa Protein Concentrates
Abstract Methods for the determination of carotene and xanthophyll in dried protein concentrates prepared during the wet fractionation of alfalfa have been studied. The AOAC method for carotene and xanthophyll in dried forages, 39.018–39.023 (11th Ed.), proved most satisfactory for analysis of the dried whole juice. The modification of a method developed earlier in this laboratory for dried forages proved most effective for analysis of a protein concentrate, high in xanthophyll and carotene, prepared from the whole juice. The modified procedure gave significantly higher values for carotene and xanthophyll in this protein-xanthophyll concentrate than the AOAC method.
