Abstract
Acid-treated bentonite and alumina gel mixture, as adsorbents in varyi ng ratios, recovered significant amounts of carotenoids from crude pal m oil, without affecting its quality. As the clay level increased, the amount of residual carotenoids in the palm oil decreased. The maximum adsorption of 79% carotenoids was possible at 4:1 ratio of bentonite and alumina gel.
