Method for extracting carotenoid pigments from citrus oils
TL;DR: In this article, carotenoid coloring agents from citrus were derived by extracting the natural peel oil from the flavedo of the fruit, treating the oil to remove the undesirable sterols, coumarins and other undesirable waxes therein, and thereafter deterpenating the de-waxed oil by successively folding the peel oil to a concentration of at least 15-fold in order to remove a major portion of the limonene therein.
