| Abstract | ||
| In this research, carotenoids pigments were extracted from petals, of both yellow bougainvillea and calendula by both petroleum ether and diethyl ether as organic solvents. The organic solvent diethyl ether more efficient in extraction than petroleum ether, too. Petals of calendula contain more carotenoids than that in yellow bougainvillea. In biological experiment, the white rats were injected by different doses from carotene extracts from both yellow bougainvillea and calendula after 45 days from injection there is no any effect in liver function, kidney function and Rate of death these results sure its safety. On the other hand there is a slight gradually decreased in the content of the extracted carotenoids in storage for 12weeks. Conclusivevly,carotenoids pigments were extracted from petals of both yellow bougainvillea and calendula by both petroleum ether and diethyl ether from the obtained data, diethyl ether more efficient in extraction than petroleum ether too, petals ofcalendula contain more Carotenoids than that in yellow bougainvillea. The extracted pigments were safe biologically. | ||
