Bulk Pure Beta carotene Powder

Beta-carotene (C40H56) is one of the carotenoids, an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound. It is the most ubiquitous and stable natural pigment in nature. A member of the family of natural chemicals such as carotenes or carotenoids. The dilute solution of β-carotene is orange-yellow and is easily soluble in organic solvents such as methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon disulfide. The solution becomes orange as the concentration increases, and may become slightly reddish due to the polarity of the solvent. Unstable in contact with oxygen, heat and light. It is relatively stable in weak bases.

Beta-carotene is widely used in the food industry, feed industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Methods used to obtain β-carotene include natural product extraction, chemical synthesis, and microbial fermentation.

The antioxidant property of β-carotene is mainly reflected in its ability to scavenge free radicals. The β-carotene molecule contains multiple double bonds and is easily oxidized in the presence of light, heat, oxygen and reactive free radical ions, thus protecting the body from damage. There are a large number of lipid peroxidation and free radical reactions in organisms, which lead to the decline of cell function, aging of the body and the occurrence of diseases. The presence of β-carotene can reduce lipid peroxidation. Therefore, the activity of carotenoids in scavenging free radicals and quenching singlet oxygen has received widespread attention.

The rod cells in the retina contain rhodopsin and have the function of dark vision. An appropriate amount of beta-carrot can promote rhodopsin to reach normal levels, thus avoiding the slow adaptation to dark fields caused by lack of vitamin A, and also avoiding the damage to the eyes caused by strong light after dark fields. In addition, it can prevent night blindness, dry eye syndrome, corneal ulcer and corneal softening;

VA is necessary to maintain the integrity of all epithelial tissues, and β-carrot can be converted into VA in the human body. Therefore, ingesting a certain amount of β-carotene is of great significance to maintaining normal body surface, digestive tract, respiratory tract, reproductive urinary tract, and endocrine tract products, and can prevent skin dandruff, keratinization, and epidermal cell sclerosis. Symptoms, polykeratoderma xerosis and other skin diseases. Beta-carotene also has a good effect on the stability of cell membranes. It can also be used to treat "solar inflammation", an inflammation caused by sun exposure.

Beta-carotene can increase the activity of red blood cells. Peroxide free radicals can accelerate the aging of the human body, and people vividly call them the "garbage" of the body. Beta-carotene can neutralize peroxidative free radicals in the body, thus delaying aging;

People who often work in dark rooms, strong light, high temperatures or deep water environments, as well as radiation workers, as well as people who often watch TV, should supplement β-carotene to resist adverse environments.

As a food additive and nutritional fortifier, 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. 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.

First of all, β-carotene has good coloring properties. The coloring range is yellow and orange-red. It has strong coloring power and stable and uniform color. It can coexist with K, Zn, Ca and other elements without discoloration. It is especially suitable for compatibility with children's food. It can also be used to color tablet sugar coatings, and its color and stability are superior to tartrazine and carmine red color sugar coating methods.

As an edible oil-soluble pigment, β-carotene’s color can cover all colors from red to yellow due to differences in concentration, so it has attracted attention from the food industry. It is very suitable for the development of oil-based products and protein-based products, and can be used as edible orange pigments and nutritional fortifiers, such as margarine, capsules, refined fish paste products, vegetarian products, instant noodles, etc. Microencapsulated β-carotene can be converted into water-soluble pigments and can be used in almost all foods.

Beta-carotene is widely used in health foods as a raw material for nutritional fortifiers.

Like other carotenoids, beta-carotene is an antioxidant. Eating foods rich in beta-carotene protects the body from exposure to damaging molecules called free radicals, which cause damage to cells through the process of oxidation.

At the same time, beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A by the body when needed. If the human body takes in too much vitamin A, it can cause poisoning. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A when the body needs it. This feature makes beta-carotene a safe source of vitamin A.

Moreover, β-carotene is an excellent antioxidant. It has a synergistic effect with vitamin E and vitamin C. Their combination is called the "iron triangle" of antioxidants and has a strong antioxidant effect. Adding β-carotene to lipstick, rouge and other cosmetics can make the color natural and plump, while also nourishing and protecting the skin.
