Understanding Beta Carotene Powder

Beta Carotene Powder (CAS 7235-40-7) is a provitamin A compound that your body converts to active Vitamin A as needed. This orange-red pigment from the carotenoid family occurs naturally in carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens. For manufacturers, the powder form offers clear advantages: better stability, precise dosing control, and longer shelf life compared to liquid alternatives. It blends smoothly into various production processes without affecting your product's texture - something our clients consistently appreciate.
