A stable product containing finely a dispersed carotenoid for use in supplementing aqueous systems, such as foods, beverages, and personal care products, with the carotenoid. An emulsifier is dissolved in water and an anti-foam agent and a source of the carotenoid are added to the solution. The concentrated product may be added to the aqueous systems or dried to form a powder that is readily dispersible in aqueous systems. The product may also include an antioxidant to preserve the activity of the carotenoid. Emulsifiers particularly suited for use include sucrose fatty acid esters. The product is produced without the use of organic solvents or elevated temperatures.

1. A process for the preparation of a stable composition of carotenoids finely dispersed in an aqueous medium for use in animal and human foods and beverages, comprising the steps of: (a) adding between about 1 and 40 weight percent of an emulsifier having an HLB number of between about 12 and ab
1. A process for the preparation of a stable composition of carotenoids finely dispersed in an aqueous medium for use in animal and human foods and beverages, comprising the steps of: (a) adding between about 1 and 40 weight percent of an emulsifier having an HLB number of between about 12 and about 18 to an aqueous medium; (b) dispersing in the aqueous medium without heating a carotenoid-containing ingredient in an amount between about 0.1 and about 20 weight percent. 2. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein the emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of lecithin and lysolecithin, sucrose fatty acid esters, and poly glycol esters. 3. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein the carotenoid-containing ingredient includes a carotenoid selected from the group consisting of actinioerythrol, astaxanthin, bixin, canthaxanthin, capsanthin, capsorubin, β-8'-apo-carotenal (apo-carotenal), β-12'-apo-carotenal, α-carotene, β-carotene, a mixture of α- and β-carotenes, γ-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, violerythrin, zeaxanthin, and esters of hydroxyl- or carboxyl-containing members thereof. 4. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of adding between about 0.1 and 1.0 weight percent of the carotenoid. 5. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of adding an alcohol in an amount between about 0 and 4 weight percent to reduce the viscosity of the dispersion. 6. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of drying the composition to form a powder. 7. A process as defined in claim 6, wherein the step of drying is selected from the group consisting of lyophilization, spray drying, and horizontal thin-film evaporation. 8. A concentrated food, beverage, or personal care product containing a finely dispersed carotenoid made by the process of claim 1. 9. A food, beverage, or personal care product supplemented with a carotenoid product made by the process of claim 1. 10. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of adding an anti-foam agent to the dispersion, in an amount between about 0.01 and about 0.1 weight percent. 11. A process as defined in claim 10, wherein the anti-foam agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone based anti-foam agents including polydimethylsiloxane. 12. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of adding an antioxidant. 13. A process as defined in claim 12, wherein the antioxidant is selected from the group consisting of tocopherols, extracts of rosemary, ascorbyl palmitate, citric acid, ascorbic acid, BHA, and BHT. 14. A process for the preparation of a stable composition of carotenoids finely dispersed in an aqueous medium for use in animal and human foods and beverages, comprising the steps of: (a) adding between about 1 and 40 weight percent of an emulsifier having an HLB number of between about 12 and about 18 to an aqueous medium; and (b) dispersing in the aqueous medium at a temperature less than about 80° C. a carotenoid-containing ingredient in an amount between about 0.1 and about 20 weight percent. 15. A concentrated food, beverage, or personal care product containing a finely dispersed carotenoid made by the process of claim 14.
