<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous method for dissolving carotenoids directly into edible oils and fats. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided an in-line method and a related apparatus for carotenoid dissolution, which may be integrated in-line into continuous or batch-wise production methods for food and feed compositions. The method avoids the need to prepare and purchase separate dry powder carotenoid formulations for incorporation into feed and food compositions. Continuous preparation of oily carotenoid solutions with the desired carotenoid concentration after cooling is thus possible for processing into fish feed, starting from preferably unformulated carotenoids. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
