Product Description

Food Colorant Beta-Carotene 10% 20% 30% WS OS CAS 7235-40-7

Methods to produce Beta-Carotene:

• Red yeast fermentation

Red yeast is a genus of yeast. It is a type of saprophytic fungus with strong stress resistance. The advantages of using red yeast to produce β-carotene are low cost, short cycle, and easy control of fermentation. According to reports, using high hydrostatic pressure-treated red yeast to optimize the fermentation medium through response surface analysis, the yield of β-carotene can reach 13.43 mg/L.

• Dunaliella salina extract β-carotene

The β-carotene content in Dunaliella salina can reach up to 0.3% of the dry cell weight, which is an ideal raw material for extracting natural β-carotene. Dunaliella salina is a single-celled lower eukaryote that lives in NaCl-rich water (such as oceans, salt lakes, salt ponds, saline alkali, etc.). As a product of photosynthesis of Dunaliella salina, β-carotene is affected by the salinity, temperature, light irradiation conditions and phosphorus source of the growth environment. According to the influence of these conditions on the growth of Dunaliella salina and the synthesis of β-carotene, a two-step method is adopted to culture Dunaliella salina, that is, first culture under favorable conditions for the growth of Dunaliella salina. At this time, the algae grows and multiplies quickly, and when the algae matures , Then collect the algae and transfer it to culture under strong light, high salt, low nitrogen and high temperature conditions that are not conducive to the growth of the algae but are conducive to the synthesis and accumulation of β-carotene.

β-carotene is the most ubiquitous and stable natural pigment in nature. It is an antioxidant with detoxification effect and is an indispensable nutrient for maintaining human health. It is a nutritional supplement and pigment that can be used for coloring beverages, liquid foods, candies, dairy products, puddings, jams, biscuits, ice cream, instant noodles, etc. as nutritional fortification.

Function of HDPharma Beta-Carotene™ Powder

As Colorant

β-carotene has good coloring performance, the coloring range is yellow, orange-red, strong coloring power, stable and uniform color, can coexist with K, Zn, Ca and other elements without changing color, especially suitable for compatibility with children's food. It can also be used for tablet sugar coating coloring, and its color and stability are better than lemon yellow and carmine double color sugar coating method. As a kind of edible oil-soluble pigment, β-carotene can cover all color systems from red to yellow due to the difference in concentration, so it has attracted the attention of the food industry. It is very suitable for the development of oil-based products and protein-based products, as edible orange pigments and nutritional fortifiers, such as margarine, capsules, fish paste condensed products, vegetarian products, instant noodles, etc. The β-carotene that has been microencapsulated can be converted into water-soluble pigments and can be used in almost all foods.

As a food additive, synthetic β-carotene has been listed in the "National Food Safety Standard Food Additives Use Standard" (GB 2760). It is used as a coloring agent in various types of food to give food color.

Nutritional supplements

β-carotene is widely used in health foods as a raw material for nutrition fortifiers.

Like other carotenoids, β-carotene is an antioxidant. Eating foods rich in β-carotene can prevent the body from contacting a damaging molecule called free radicals, which can cause damage to cells through the oxidation process.

At the same time, β-carotene is converted into vitamin A by the body when needed. If the body consumes too much vitamin A, it can cause poisoning. When the human body needs it, β-carotene will be converted into vitamin A. This feature makes β-carotene a safe source of vitamin A.

Antioxidants

Beta-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, nourish and protect the skin.
