Method for extracting carotenoids from plant matrices

摘要

Method for extracting carotenoid substances from plant matrices, comprising the steps of: conditioning the plant matrix; treating the matrix with an enzymatic formulation in an aqueous phase; extracting the mixture comprising the matrix and the enzymatic formulation with an organic solvent; separating the aqueous phase from the organic phase and recovering the enzymatic formulation; removing the organic solvent and purifying the so-obtained carotenoid substances.
