Abstract
Carotenoids extraction techniques from crude palm oil and palm oil by- products as reported in numerous papers and patents over the last 45 y ears have been reviewed. After a brief description of palm oil charact eristics and beta-carotene biological functions, the physical and chem ical properties of beta-carotene are reported in order to explain, on a physical basis, the various possibilites of isolation which will be studied in the second part.
