Carotene Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Antioxidants are enzymes that prevent free radicals from breaking down or oxidizing cells. powerful antioxidants such as alpha-carotene destroy free radicals before they can damage the body and cause chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. In addition, alpha-carotene plays a role in preventing cancer by stimulating intercellular communication, a process needed to ensure proper cell division.

Uses of Carotene.

Carrot has the effect of lowering the qi and fixing asthma, removing phlegm, eliminating food, and removing flatulence. Experiments have proved that the ability of α-carotene to inhibit tumor cells is 10 times that of β-carotene, and has a strong effect on preventing abnormal changes in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

As early as more than a decade ago, a study found that the higher the concentration of alpha-carotene in the blood, the lower the risk of heart disease in the subjects. According to a 14-year follow-up study by researchers at the CDC, people with higher levels of alpha-carotene in their blood have a longer life expectancy.

Synthesis method of Carotene.

A method for the preparation of α-carotene, the preparation method comprising: performing a rearrangement reaction of diethyl 3-methyl-5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1,4-pentadienylphosphonate under nitrogen protection in an organic solvent in the presence of a base at a temperature from -30 to 30°C; and then adding decabicyclohexane bis-formaldehyde to the mixture following the rearrangement reaction of step (I) to undergo a Wittig-Horner condensation reaction at a temperature of 0-30°C to obtain α-carotene.
