Validation of a micromethod for quantification of lutein and beta-carotene in olive oil

A micromethod was developed and validated for the quantification of lutein and beta-carotene in olive oils. The compounds are liquid-liquid extracted with n-hexane and n,n-dimethylformamide (DMF), by vortex mixing and centrifugation. The n-hexane phase retains beta-carotene, whereas the DMF phase re...
