Product Overview

As a professional Beta-Carotene supplier and manufacturer, Henan Liyin Biotech supplies high-quality β-Carotene in multiple concentrations and formulations to suit a wide range of applications.

β-Carotene is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in plants, algae, and certain fungi. It is a provitamin A compound, meaning it is converted in the body to Vitamin A (retinol) as needed, making it a safe and effective source of this essential nutrient. As a potent antioxidant, it also helps neutralize free radicals, contributing to cellular health.

At Henan Liyin Biotech, we supply high-quality β-Carotene in multiple concentrations and formulations to suit a wide range of applications. Our product range includes:

• 1% CWS (Cold Water Soluble) Powder – Ideal for beverages and dry mixes, providing easy dispersion without clouding.
• 10% CWS Powder – Suitable for supplements, food fortification, and powdered blends.
• 20% CWS Powder – A higher-concentration option for space-efficient formulations.
• 30% CWS Powder – For high-potency applications requiring minimal carrier material.
• 30% Oil Suspension – Designed for oil-based systems such as softgels, margarine, and animal feed premixes.

Our β-Carotene is derived from natural sources (fermentation or plant-based extraction), compliant with USP, EP, and FCC standards, and manufactured under strict GMP guidelines to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, purity, and stability.

Key Attributes:

• Dual Functionality: Serves as both a natural colorant (providing yellow to orange-red hues) and a nutrient fortifier (Vitamin A precursor).

Food & Beverage

β-Carotene is one of the most widely used natural pigments in the food industry, valued for providing a clean-label solution for yellow to orange-red hues. Its dual function as a colorant and a nutrient fortifier (providing Vitamin A activity) makes it a versatile ingredient for product developers.

Key Applications: Used in fruit juices and nectars, dairy products (yogurt, cheese), margarine and spreads, confectionery, and baked goods to impart a natural, appealing color.

Concentration Recommendations: For most liquid and semi-solid applications, 1% CWS (cold water soluble) powder is recommended for easy dispersion without clouding. For oil-based applications (e.g., margarine), 30% oil suspension is preferred for optimal blending.

Typical Usage Levels: In juices, usage levels typically range from 50–200 ppm (depending on the desired color intensity). In margarine, levels of 5–15 ppm are common to achieve a butter-like appearance.

Fortification Bonus: Provides a natural source of Vitamin A, making it a valuable addition to cereal products and infant formula to meet nutritional fortification requirements.

Dietary Supplements

As a precursor to Vitamin A, β-Carotene offers a safer alternative to preformed Vitamin A (retinol) in supplements, as the body converts only as much as needed, reducing the risk of hypervitaminosis A. Its antioxidant properties also support cellular health, making it a popular ingredient in wellness products.

Key Benefits: Supports eye health, immune function, and skin health. Its antioxidant activity helps protect cells from oxidative stress, complementing other nutrients like Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Target Formats: Widely used in softgels (as an oil suspension), tablets (as a powder), and gummies at dosages typically ranging from 3–15 mg per serving (providing 500–2,500 IU of Vitamin A activity).

Formulation Tip: For supplement applications, 10% or 20% CWS powder is often preferred for its ease of blending and stability in dry formulations. For liquid-filled softgels, the 30% oil suspension offers excellent bioavailability.

Animal Feed

In animal nutrition, β-Carotene serves as a critical source of Vitamin A for livestock and poultry, supporting growth, reproductive performance, and overall health. It also plays a key role in improving product quality — particularly in the pigmentation of egg yolks, skin, and meat.

Key Benefits: Enhances skin and feather pigmentation in poultry, improves egg yolk color, and supports reproductive health in cattle and swine.

Recommended Inclusion: Typical supplementation levels in feed premixes range from 5–50 mg/kg of complete feed, depending on species, age, and production goals.

Formulation Advantage: Our Feed Grade β-Carotene is available in stabilized powder forms for easy dispersion in pelleted and extruded feeds, ensuring uniform distribution and consistent efficacy.
