The carotinoid is immediately precipitated, in a colloidally disperse form, from the molecularly disperse solution by rapidly mixing the latter with an aqueous solution of a swellable colloid at from 0° C. to 50° C., and the resulting dispersion is freed from the solvent and the dispersing medium in a conventional manner.Other References
