A review of extraction technology for carotenoids and vitamin e recovery from palm oil
Carotenoids and vitamin E (tocopherols, tocotrienols) are among the 1% minor valuable components in crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis). These components have different nutritional functions and benefits to human health. Various technologies have been developed in order to recover these components fr...
