Here is my literature Beta Carotene HPLC analysis graph. Can you help me explain what each peak is at each retention time?   Thank You :D
I have a literature B-Carotene HPLC graph in which showcases a retention time of roughly 23.6 and 25.1.  Please help me compare my two different Anti-Oxidant Juice graphs. (Attached) The juices provided are: V8 Carrot Ginger Blend and V8 Original Blend Noticing the HPLC graphs I saw no peaks for the Original Blend for B-Carotene. However the Carrot Ginger Blend showed similar peaks --> Why is this reason? Please explain in terms of Retention time and Area (Under Curve).   Thank You!
