Antioxidant activities of spray-dried carotenoids using maltodextrin-Arabic gum as wall materials
Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2021 Background Carotenoids are natural pigments that are highly sensitive to light, heat, acids, oxygen, metals, and free radicals, which degrade the antioxidant activities of carotenoids.
