Introduction of β-Carotene Oil Suspension
β-Carotene Oil Suspension is a stable, oil-based suspension containing β-Carotene, a naturally occurring orange-red pigment found in plants. It is widely used in the food industry as a natural colorant and nutritional supplement due to its high antioxidant properties and its role as a precursor to Vitamin A.
Color: Since β-Carotene itself is orange or red, food-grade β-Carotene oil suspension typically appears as a liquid ranging from light orange to deep orange, or even slightly red. The depth of the color may depend on the concentration of β-Carotene and the specific formulation of the suspension.
Liquid State: It is an oil-based liquid with a smooth, oily texture and good fluidity. If the temperature is too low, some slight sedimentation or an increase in viscosity may occur, but it usually returns to its flowing state when heated or stirred.
Transparency: Generally, food-grade β-Carotene oil suspension is semi-transparent and may exhibit slight cloudiness. The β-Carotene particles (or granules) are dispersed within the liquid, forming small suspended particles that give the liquid a faintly cloudy appearance.
Odor: It typically has a mild plant oil scent, which may vary depending on the type of carrier oil used, such as soybean oil, palm oil, or olive oil.
Food grade β-Carotene oil suspension is a versatile, natural product widely used in the food and supplement industries. It serves as an excellent colorant, providing vibrant orange hues while delivering the nutritional benefits of Vitamin A and antioxidants. Its stability in oil form makes it a reliable ingredient in a range of food products, contributing to both their appearance and health benefits.
