<![CDATA[This aim of research was to find the optimum conditions for the extraction process of “buah merah” oil that produce optimum β-cryptoxanthin content. The treatments of extraction process are steaming at 800C, autoclave at 1210C for 30 and 60 minutes respectely, and storing in refrigerator at -50C for one night, then pressed and centrifugated. “Buah merah” oil produced from those treatments was tested for β-cryptoxanthin content. The “buah merah” oil with highest content of β-cryptoxanthin is conducted characteristics test based on water content, FFA, foreign matterial, PAHs and test for stability of total carotenoids, α and β cryptoxhantin of “buah merah” oil that stored in various conditions of temperature (40C, 250C, 350C), storage (dark and light using light flouresense lamp 10 W, type of packaging (brown glass bottle, soft capsules in PVC bottle), and extraction methods (traditional and modern). Observations was conducted every week.for 8 weeks The results showed that extraction process of “buah meraht”oil that produce of β-cryptoxanthin content with highest yield is extraction process using autoclave heating at 121° C for 1 hour that result 35% yield and 20.78% β-cryptoxanthin content. The type of packaging that resulted the best stability of consentration of total carotenoid α and β-cryptoxanthin in in the “buah merah” oil is packaging that use double package of capsule (primary packaging) and PVC bottle (secondary packaging) and store in dark condition with temperature of 4 ° C. ]]>
