When assessing the quality of plant-growing products, besides determining their main constituents, such as protein, oil, carbohydrates, moisture, it is often necessary to analyze the content of biologically active compounds, which
are present in considerably lower amounts. Among them, carotenoids are the natural pigments, whose biological
value is connected with a provitamine activity as well as with an effective participation in the processes of photosynthesis
and prevention of singlet oxygen photogeneration. The presence of carotenoids determines the semolina
color, which is one of the important criteria for raw material quality in the production of paste.
