Description
Beta-carotene is a natural carotenoid that serves as a precursor to vitamin A. It is produced as a pure, orange fine powder. The raw material for beta-carotene can come from various plant sources, such as carrots, or it can be synthesized. The product is standardized by beta-carotene content in the range of 1%~10%, allowing for precise dosing in final products. Beta-carotene is insoluble in water but exhibits good solubility in fats and oils, as well as in chloroform and benzene, which is important to consider when incorporating it into formulations. For purchasers, product stability (shelf life of 2 years) and the availability of FDA, ISO, Kosher, Halal certifications are critically important, confirming its suitability for use in various industries. It is also valued for its coloring properties, imparting a natural orange hue to products.
