What Is Beta-Carotene Powder？

Carotene is a natural food product that is derived from fruits and vegetables. It is a concentrated source of carotenoids, which are a group of organic pigments that are widely distributed in nature. Carotene Extract is rich in beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and other potent antioxidants that contribute to the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables.

Carotene is the main source of vitamin A, mainly in the form of α, β, and γ, of which β-carotene is the most important. The main food sources are dark vegetables and fruits.

β-carotene (C40H56) is one of the carotenoids, an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound. It is the most common and stable natural pigment in nature. It belongs to the family of natural chemicals (such as carotene or carotenoids). It exists in large quantities in plants, giving fruits and vegetables a full yellow and orange color.

β-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. It exists in large quantities in plants, giving fruits and vegetables a full color. Due to its coloring, antioxidant and nutritional enhancement functions, β-carotene is widely used in ordinary foods and health care products.

β-carotene has been recommended by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization as a food additive and nutritional fortifier. It has been recognized as a Class A excellent nutritional pigment and has been approved for use in 52 countries and regions around the world.

Is carotene the same as beta-carotene?

The two primary isomers of carotene, α-carotene and β-carotene, differ in the position of a double bond (and thus a hydrogen) in the cyclic group at one end. β-Carotene is the more common form and can be found in yellow, orange, and green leafy fruits and vegetables.

Is carotene an artificial color?

Beta-carotene is probably the best known of the largest family of pigments produced by nature, the Carotenoids.

The core function of carotene powder is to provide color to food. Its natural origin and safety make it a widely used food coloring. However, it should be noted that it is different from artificial additives and is a natural ingredient in food ingredients.
