What Is β-Carotene Powder?

It is a highly concentrated provitamin A carotenoid pigment and is commonly used as a natural food colour (E160a) and as a nutritional supplement. It is generated mostly by microbial fermentation of Blakeslea trispora or by chemical synthesis.

The powder is designed to tackle three major commercial challenges: poor water solubility, high oxidative instability, and the limited bioavailability of traditional fat-soluble carotenoids. Manufacturers use innovative spray-drying and microencapsulation technologies to convert β-carotene into a stable and easy-to-handle powder with improved dispersibility.

The product obtained is resistant to heat degradation during pasteurisation, homogeneous in colour across batches of manufacturing and compatible with aqueous food matrices. Its polyene chain structure gives brilliant colours ranging from yellow to deep orange-red. It also has antioxidant characteristics that help immune function and skin health.

Technical Properties & Advantages

Our β-Carotene Powder showcases superior physicochemical characteristics essential for formulation success. The cold-water dispersible (CWD) grades utilize emulsion technology to achieve instant dispersion in aqueous solutions without oil ring formation, while tableting (TAB) grades offer optimized compressibility for solid dosage forms.

The key technological benefits include pH stability in the range 3.0–7.0, colour stability during thermal processing up to 85 °C and retention rates > 90 % under accelerated stability conditions. The microencapsulated matrix protected the active carotenoid from photo-oxidation and moisture degradation.

Our product is consistent in absorbance from batch to batch, and meets worldwide reference criteria. The powder is free-flowing, which makes it easier to handle in the manufacturing process, and reduces downtime in production, and improves mix uniformity in multi-ingredient compositions.
