ESTIMATION OF CAROTENE IN GREEN VEGETABLES BY THE HILGER-SECTOR PHOTOMETER.

Carotene content of some thirteen varieties of green vegetables has been determined by the sector-photometric method. Pure \(\beta\)-carotene was taken as the standard. The extraction was done according to a method more or less similar to the procedure followed by Smith, by Schertz and by Wilson, Das-Gupta and Ahniad.
