The maximum ?-carotene equivalent (BCE) value was found in ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester. The maximum Hunter L value was found in the control and lutein. The maximum Hunter a value was found in paprika meal. The maximum Hunter b value was found in ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethly ester and alfalfa meal (P0.01).
