The experiment was carried out on capsicum fruits which include spectrophotometric determination of β-carotene by using cyclohexane as solvent. The extraction of capsicum was done with cyclo hexane and the absorbance was determined by UV Spectrophotometer. β-carotene obtained from Red pulp from Red capsicum shows maximum absorbance like pure drug. Remaining extracts have the order of maximum β-carotene are Red peel, Green pulp, Green peel respectively. This study reveals that, Red capsicum contains more amount of β-carotene when compared with Green capsicum. The Beer’s Law Limits, sensitivity data (Correlation coefficient, Regression equation, Precision data, Accuracy data) are in near correlation with the pure drug. It is also proved that the extracted β-carotene has nearly 80o% anti oxidant activity. |
