The objective of this research was to determine ¦Â¨Ccarotene microemulsion inhibitory effect on vitamin C photooxidation in aqueous food model. Into aqueous food models containing vitamin C (450 ppm for model 1; 300 ppm for model 2) 2% microemulsion or ¦Â¨Ccarotene microemulsion and erythrosine as photosensitizer, were added. The final ¦Â¨Ccarotene content in aqueous food model was equal to 0.6 or 12 ppm. The result indicated that microemulsion have ability to inhibit vitamin C photodegradation under light but did not show the ability under dark condition. The inhibitory effectiveness of both 6 and 12 ppm ¦Â-carotene microemulsion on vitamin C photodegradation were insignificant. The 6 ppm ¦Â-carotene microemulsion was proven to effectively inhibit vitamin C photooxidation in aqueous food model better than that of empty microemulsion or free ¦Â-carotene. The vitamin C photodegradation rate on model system 1 and 2 were 9.5 ¡À 2.48 and 6.4 ¡À 1.58 mg.L-1. hour-1 (¦Â-carotene microemulsion); -14.8 ¡À 1.69 and -9.5 ¡À 1.23 mg.L-1. hour -1 (empty microemulsion); -16.0 ¡À 1.64 and -10.3 ¡À 0.46 mg.L-1. hour -1 (free¦Â-carotene), respectively. %K Microemulsion %K ¦Â¨Ccarotene %K photooxidation %K vitamin C %K aqueous system %U http://journal.ipb.ac.id/index.php/jtip/article/view/3393
