β-carotene, a prominent compound of carrot pigments having a non-polar nature consisting of conjugated double bonds, plays a vital role in human health as a biological antioxidant and a precursor of vitamin A. In addition, it is also responsible for being a multicolored agent in various plant species and extensively employed in food colorants. This has centered attention on β-carotene nowadays. For the extraction of β-carotene, we used the most popular source of raw carrots. The solubility of β-carotene depends upon the polarity nature of the solvents. In this study, the extraction and solubility of β-carotene in nine different solvents namely isopropanol, methanol, toluene, ethylene glycol, dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water, butanol, hydrogen peroxide were investigated. The samples where the β-carotene was extracted and dye was formed exhibited a pale yellowish to orange color whereas few solvents remained colorless. The solubility of β-carotene is not uniform, it is the highest isopropanol. The absorption and photoluminescence characteristics were studied to further understand the concentration, efficiency of extraction, and emission properties. According to our knowledge, this paper addresses a novel study presenting the thermal-optic properties of the β-carotene dye in different solvents using a dual beam thermal lens setup and it was compared to the thermal diffusivity of solvents, and the enhanced thermal diffusivity was also noted in solvents. The enhancement in heat-transferring properties of β- carotene dye may be explored for non-linear optical applications in optoelectronic devices also.
Keywords: β-carotene, carotenoid, solvents, optical properties, thermal diffusivity.
