Isolation of a carotenoid-protein complex from carrot root and the effects of components of carrot and heat on the relative bioavailability of carotenoids from carrots

The objectives of this work are: (1) to isolate and purify carotenoid-protein complexes from carrot roots and to determine the location of carotenoid-protein complexes within the carrot chromoplast, and (2) to utilize the ferret to evaluate the effects of carotenoid-protein complexes, crystalline form of carotenoids, carrot matrix, and heat treatment on the bioavailability of carotenoids from carrots.
