摘要：
A carotenoid composition, a process for producing a carotenoid composition, and methods of use thereof. The composition comprises a soap derived from the saponification of a natural carotenoid-containing oleoresin, wherein the soap contains non-esterified xanthophyll particles, and retains greater than 80 pcnt total xanthophyll concentration when stored at room temperature, in an oxygen permeable dark bag, for three months. The process comprises (a) alkaline saponification of a natural carotenoid-containing oleoresin, wherein the saponification occurs in the presence of a metal hydroxide, with intimate mixing, and occurs at a temperature between 110-180 degrees Centigrade, resulting in a composition comprising non-esterified carotenoids. (b) atomization of the resulting soap, and (c) isomerization of the nonesterified carotenoids, wherein the atomized soap is heated such that greater than 80 pcnt of the non-esterified carotenoids present are in the all-trans isomer configuration, and the non-esterified carotenoid concentration of the final soap product is greater than 10 pcnt .
