Beta-carotene Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Beta-carotene is the most common and stable natural pigment in nature. Due to its large source of agricultural products and unique physiological and nutritional effects, it has been compiled into the U.S. Pharmacopoeia as a food additive and nutritional supplement in 1985, and 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 a "Class A Excellent Nutritional Color", and has been approved for use in 52 countries and regions in 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 Pigment", and has been approved for application in 52 countries and regions in the world.

In China, β-carotene is mainly used as natural coloring and nutritional enhancer.

The antioxidant property of β-carotene is mainly manifested in its ability to scavenge free radicals.

The β-carotene molecule contains several double bonds, which are easily oxidized in the presence of light, heat, oxygen, and free radical ions with high reactivity, thus protecting the organism from destruction.

There is a large amount of lipid peroxidation and free radical reactions in living organisms, which leads to a decline in cellular function, aging of the organism, and the development of diseases, and the presence of β-carotene reduces lipid peroxidation.

Uses of Beta-carotene.

An antioxidant that acts as a pro-oxidant or antioxidant due to its inhibition of free radical-induced peroxidation in vitro. A dietary supplement for mice to reduce hearing loss and hair cell damage.

Beta-carotene is used as a nutritional fortifier, food orange pigment and food coloring agent. China's regulations can be used in all kinds of food, according to the production needs of the appropriate amount of use. Mainly used in margarine, noodles, pastries, beverages and health food.

Product Method 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, and the plant extraction method has been eliminated domestically.

2. Synthesis method Synthesis 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 into edible fat solutions or suspensions, emulsions, and powders of β-carotene that can be dispersed in water. Antioxidants, emulsifiers, dispersants, and different ratios of trans/cis isomers may be added to improve stability.
