β-Carotene

Description:

β-Carotene is a naturally occurring organic compound classified as a carotenoid, which is a type of pigment found in various plants and fruits. It is known for its vibrant orange color and is a precursor to vitamin A, playing a crucial role in human health, particularly in vision and immune function. Chemically, β-carotene is a hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C40H56, characterized by a long chain of conjugated double bonds that contribute to its antioxidant properties. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, such as oils and alcohols. β-Carotene is commonly found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens, and it is often used as a dietary supplement and food coloring agent. Its stability can be affected by light, heat, and oxygen, which may lead to degradation. In addition to its nutritional benefits, β-carotene is also studied for its potential protective effects against certain diseases due to its antioxidant capabilities.

β-Carotene - >95%

CAS: 7235-40-7

beta-Carotene - >95% is a high-purity carotenoid compound, which is a naturally occurring pigment found in plants and fruits. This compound is primarily sourced from natural plant derivatives, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and other colorful vegetables and fruits, where it functions as a photosynthetic pigment. The mode of action of beta-Carotene lies in its ability to convert enzymatically into retinol (vitamin A) in the human body, a crucial component for vision, immune function, and skin health.
