“…The β-carotene is one of the main types of carotenes, and it is mainly known for being a natural precursor of vitamin A. It is a highmolecular-weight compound that is formed by a hydrocarbon chain without oxygen (C 40 H 56 ) [4]. It is easily degradable by light, heat and air, and its colour can vary from yellow to dark red, depending on its purity, source and location.…”
