Stability of carotenoids toward UV-irradiation in hexane solution

The stabilities of four selected carotenoids dissolved in hexane, two carotenes and two xanthophylls, toward UV-irradiation of three different ranges (UV-A, UV-B and UV-C) were studied in this work. The carotenoids underwent bleaching via a probable free radical mediated mechanism following first-or...
