Carrot Extract Beta-Carotene Powder

Product Description

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.

Sources of Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene is found in a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, including carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, cantaloupe, and apricots.

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.

Beta-carotene powder benefits

Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, offers numerous health benefits due to its antioxidant properties and role in vitamin A synthesis. It supports vision, promotes healthy skin, boosts the immune system, and may reduce the risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, it plays a role in cognitive function, particularly in older individuals, and may help manage or prevent conditions like diabetes and atherosclerosis.

• Vision Health

Beta-carotene is essential for maintaining healthy eyesight and preventing age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. It converts to vitamin A in the body, which is crucial for retinal function and overall eye health.

• Antioxidant Protection

As an antioxidant, beta-carotene helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, protecting cells from damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. It can scavenge lipids and quench singlet oxygen, contributing to its protective effects.

• Immune System Support

Beta-carotene is vital for a healthy immune system. It supports immune cell function and helps the body fight off infections and illnesses.

• Skin Health

Beta-carotene contributes to healthy skin by protecting it from sun damage and promoting a healthy complexion.

• Cognitive Function

Studies suggest that beta-carotene may improve cognitive abilities, especially in older adults, and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Beta-Carotene Powder Application

• Colorant

β-carotene is an edible oil-soluble pigment. Its color can cover all colors from red to yellow due to the difference in concentration, so it has attracted attention from the food industry. It is very suitable for the development of oily and protein products, and is used as an edible orange pigment and nutritional enhancer, such as margarine, capsules, fish paste products, vegetarian products, and instant noodles. The microencapsulated β-carotene can be converted into a water-soluble pigment and can be used in almost all foods. It can also be used for tablet sugar coating coloring, and its color and stability are better than lemon yellow and carmine red complex sugar coating methods.

• Nutritional enhancer

β-carotene is widely used in health foods as a raw material for nutritional enhancers.
Like other carotenoids, β-carotene is an antioxidant. Eating foods rich in β-carotene can prevent the body from contacting a destructive molecule called free radicals, which can damage cells through the oxidation process.

• Antioxidants

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 cosmetics such as lipstick and rouge can make their color naturally plump and nourish and protect the skin.
