Beta-Carotene

Beta-Carotene

Other Name: β-Carotene

CAS: 7235-40-7

EINECS:230-636-6

β-Carotene has two forms: healthy functional food ingredients and natural colorants in the form of crystals (β-Carotene 96%), oil suspension (β-Carotene 30%), beadlets (β-Carotene 10%-20%), dry powder (β-Carotene 1%) and emulsion (β-Carotene 1%-5%).

β -carotene crystal is the application of modern biological engineering technology, the use of natural raw materials, microbial fermentation, refining and become. Because it is the product of microbial metabolism, it contains not only rich β -carotene, but also a small amount of metabolic precursors such as γ -carotene, zeaxanthin and other carotenoids, so it has different chemical characteristics and physiological functions from chemical compound products.

Characteristics and application of β -carotene :

One of the most important carotenoids is beta-carotene, an orange fat-soluble compound that is the most ubiquitous and stable natural pigment in nature. Beta-carotene is found in many natural foods, such as green vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, papaya, mangoes, oranges, and microalgae. Because of its bright color and high price, it can be adjusted into bright yellow to orange-red. As a rare food pigment, it was quickly recognized once discovered. Carotene has α, β, γ and other isomers, among which β -carotene has the highest activity.

Beta-carotene functions:

Beta-Carotene is an excellent colorant

β -carotene added to the food, the color is golden and attractive, and pH changes relatively stable performance. Relatively heat resistant. Resistant to bake. Therefore, it is widely used in bread, butter, beverage, candy and other foods.

2. Beta-Carotene is A precursor of vitamin A

When vitamin A is deficient, it can be converted to vitamin A automatically, and when it reaches saturation, it can be stopped automatically. Therefore, it does not produce the side effects that occur after taking large doses of vitamin A continuously.

3. Beta-Carotene is a powerful physiological antioxidant

The aging of human body and the formation of many diseases are caused by the excess content of oxygen free radicals in tissues. Therefore, human beings can continue to supplement the elimination of oxygen self-based substances, in order to maintain the normal life activities of cells, thus delaying aging and prevent some pathological changes; So that the oxygen self - base injury of the cell back to normal, so as to play a therapeutic role in some diseases. β -carotene is the most effective physiologic antioxidant recognized in the world so far, thus playing a role in preventing aging and aging, as well as the prevention and treatment of some diseases.

Applications of β -carotene :

Beta-Carotene is widely used in food industry as colorant, antioxidant, nutritional enhancer, etc.

Beta-Carotene is used to treat and prevent vitamin A deficiency, visual diseases, epidermal and epithelial tissue diseases in the medical and health care industry. Improve immunity, prevent cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, and resist radiation.

In the cosmetic industry for coloring, anti-aging, skin protection and so on.

In the feed industry is used to improve the immunity of livestock, reproductive feng. And add color to fish, shrimp, poultry, etc.
