Abstract: Stability of β-carotene emulsion was evaluated by Turbiscan analyzer in this study. Tween-80,polyglyceride and sucrose ester were used for preparating β-carotene emulsion with different contents of β-carotene under homogeneous conditions. The results showed that the Turbiscan analyzer can determine quickly and accurately the best stability of β-carotene emulsion prepared under the conditions of Tween-80 as emulsifier,content of β-carotene 2% and homogenization pressures of the first,the second and the third 30,50,45 MPa respectively.
