What is Beta Carotene Powder?

Beta carotene is a naturally occurring red-orange pigment belonging to a class of compounds called carotenoids. It is a provitamin A carotenoid, meaning the human body can convert it into active vitamin A (retinol). It is one of the most abundant and well-studied carotenoids in nature.

Beta carotene is an essential nutrient with dual roles as a vital source of vitamin A and a protective antioxidant. Its benefits are clearest and safest when consumed through a diverse diet. 

Application of β-carotene powder

β-carotene, whose name comes from the Latin word carrot, is an orange fat-soluble compound and a precursor of vitamin A. It is found in large quantities in plants, giving fruits and vegetables a full color. Due to its coloring, antioxidant and nutrition-enhancing functions, β-carotene is widely used in general foods and medical care products.

As a food additive and nutritional enhancer, 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.
