Clove Oil Protects <i>β</i>-Carotene in Oil-in-Water Emulsion against Photodegradation

Clove Oil Protects <i>β</i>-Carotene in Oil-in-Water Emulsion against Photodegradation

<i>β</i>-Carotene degrades rapidly in a 2% oil-in-water emulsion, made from food-grade soy oil with 7.4 mg <i>β</i>-carotene/mL oil, during storage and when exposed to light. Added clove oil (2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 µL/mL of emulsion) protects against the photodegradation of <i&g...
