Beta-Carotene Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Beta-carotene is the most widely available and stable natural pigment in nature. Due to its large number of sources of agricultural products and unique physiological and nutritional effects, beta-carotene was compiled into the U.S. Pharmacopoeia as a food additive and nutritional supplement in 1985, and was recommended by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as an "A Class Excellent Nutritional Colour" and has been approved for use in 52 countries and regions around the world. As a food additive and nutritional supplement, β-carotene has been recommended by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as "Class A Excellent Nutritional Colour", and has been approved for application in 52 countries and regions in the world. In China, β-carotene is mainly used as natural pigment and nutritional enhancer.

Uses and functions of Beta-Carotene.

Edible orange pigment; Nutritional fortifier. Mainly used in margarine, noodles, pastries, beverages and health foods

As feed vitamin nutrient fortifier and colouring agent

As nutritional fortifier and food colouring agent. China's regulations can be used in all kinds of food, according to the production needs of the appropriate amount of use.

Nutritional supplements and colours. According to the "Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Nutritional Enhancers (1993)" issued by the Ministry of Health of China, it can be used in cream and puffed food, and the maximum use amount is 0.2g/kg. 0.6μg of this product is physiologically equivalent to 1 international unit (I-U-) of vitamin A. Now it is widely used as yellow colouring agent instead of oil colouring agent.

Now it is widely used as yellow pigment instead of oil-soluble tar pigment, such as for the original carotene-containing cream, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., and widely used in other edible fats and oils, margarine, shortening, pastry, bread and so on.

When used in oily foods, it is often dissolved in edible oils such as cottonseed oil or suspension preparations (content 30%). It prevents the oxidation of β-carotene even when used after dilution. Antioxidants such as α-tocopherol, stearoyl ascorbate, and BHA are usually added. Used as a colouring agent in small quantities, e.g. 1.37mg/kg for margarine, combined with vitamin C in fruit juice to improve stability.

Physiological functions and actions of Beta-Carotene.

The antioxidant property of β-carotene is mainly manifested in its ability to scavenge free radicals. β-carotene molecules contain multiple double bonds, which are easily oxidised in the presence of light, heat, oxygen and free radical ions with high activity, thus protecting the organism from being destroyed. There are large Chemicalbook amounts of lipid peroxidation and free radical reactions in living organisms, which leads to a decline in cell function, aging of the organism and the occurrence of diseases, and the presence of β-carotene can reduce lipid peroxidation. Therefore, the activity of carotenoids in scavenging free radicals and quenching unilinear oxygen species has received widespread attention.

Production process of  Bulk Beta-Carotene Powder.

1. Extraction of natural β-carotene from natural substances is usually produced by three methods: plant extraction, salt algae extraction and fermentation. China mainly adopts the salt algae extraction method and fermentation method, plant extraction method has been eliminated domestically.

2. synthetic method synthetic method of the intermediate 3,8-dimethyl-3,5,7-tridecene-1,9-diynylphenyl lithium and 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-methyl-2-buten-1-aldehyde preparation method contained in U.S. Patent 2917539.

Industrial products are generally made as edible grease solutions or suspensions, emulsions and powders of beta-carotene that are dispersible in water. Antioxidants, emulsifiers, dispersants and different ratios of trans/cis isomers may be added to improve stability.1.
