Summary

DEHYDRATION SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED CAROTENE. CAROTENE CONTENTS OF FRESH, VACUUM AND MICROWAVE DRIED SAMPLES FOR CARROTS, BROCCOLI AND SPINACH WERE 989, 459, 368 ;106, 43, 40 ; AND 455, 325, 314 MICROGRAMS/GRAM, RESPECTIVELY. DEGRADATION OF CAROTENE WAS SEVERE 6 HOURS AFTER THAWING. COOKING DID NOT AFFECT CAROTENE. DESTRUCTION OF CAROTENE WAS RELATIVELY LOWER WHEN INITIAL CONCENTRATIONS WERE LOW.
