The purpose of this research was to preliminary assess the suitability of a new method for the preparation of a solid formulation in form of powder composed by beta-cyclodextrin and the supercritical extract of Rosa canina hips. The method implies the extraction of carotenoids, in particular beta-carotene, from freeze dried fruits of R. canina with supercritical CO2 at 70 degrees C and 300 bar, in the presence of varying quantity of ethanol as entrainer. The obtained supercritical solution is then expanded at ambient conditions into an aqueous solution of beta-cyclodextrin to favour the interaction between beta-cyclodextrin and the lipophilic components of the extract. beta-carotene solubility (mole fraction) in supercritical CO2 or in supercritical CO2/ethanol mixtures were in the order of 1 10(-7). The beta-carotene extracted from R. canina fruits (nearly 10 microg/g of dry matrix), interacts almost quantitatively with beta-cyclodextrin affording a solid phase, which presents a low apparent solubility in water. Finally the interaction with beta-cyclodextrin results in a higher concentration of the beta-carotene trans- form relative to the cis- form in the extracted product when collected in an aqueous solution of beta-cyclodextrin with respect to the extract in n-hexane.
