Total carotenoid content evaluation of functional food products with rosehip powder (Rosa Canina)

Abstract

In this paper, the antioxidant capacity and physico-chemical characteristics of lipid-soluble extracts of rose hips were evaluated. It was performed the analysis of the impact of biologically active compounds on the physico-chemical characteristics of oily extracts and the investigation of their oxidative stability. The results obtained by high performance analysis methods have allowed the argumentation of the importance of replacing synthetic antioxidant compounds with natural antioxidants in the process of producing food products with a high content of lipids.
