Stabilization of β-carotene embedded in a silica matrix and study of its physical properties
This work reports on the behavior of β -carotene within a silica matrix prepared by the sol-gel method. Results show that highly pure β -carotene integrates with the silica to form a silica-based composite. The interaction exhibited between the inorganic

Inhibitory Effect of β-Carotene on Lipid Oxidation in Pickering Emulsion
In order to investigate the inhibitory effect of β-carotene on lipid oxidation in Pickering emulsion, the Pickering emulsions embedded with β-carotene were prepared using cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) as an emulsifier. The DPPH and ABTS+ radical scavenging
