Bulk Beta Carotene 10% CWS Powder Supplier | Cold Water Soluble & Microencapsulated Grade | Factory-Direct Natural Colorant & Pro-Vitamin A Manufacturer
Beta Carotene is globally valued as an essential precursor to Vitamin A and a clean-label natural golden-yellow colorant. However, standard oil-soluble Beta Carotene creates severe production hurdles for beverage and functional food formulators: poor water solubility, rapid oxidation from light and exposure, ringing effects in bottled drinks, and inconsistent color dispersion across batch runs.
We engineered our Beta Carotene 10% CWS powder specifically to eliminate these solubility and light-stability challenges. Using advanced spray-drying microencapsulation technology, we enclose fine crystalline Beta Carotene particles inside a water-soluble matrix (starch or gelatin-free options). The result is an ultra-fine, free-flowing powder that dissolves instantly in cold water (down to 10°C) without oil separation or sediment ring formation. Whether you are formulating effervescent tablets, functional gummies, instant beverage mixes, or fortified dairy products, our factory offers stable batch consistency, competitive volume pricing, and full ISO/cGMP compliance.

Frequently Asked Procurement & Technical Formulation Questions (FAQ)
Natural Beta Carotene is inherently oil-soluble and insoluble in water. Our CWS grade uses advanced microencapsulation technology to wrap active Beta Carotene inside a water-soluble carbohydrate matrix, allowing it to disperse rapidly in cold liquids without forming oil slicks or ring deposits.
Depending on your dosage rate (typically 20ppm to 100ppm), our 10% CWS powder delivers a natural spectrum ranging from **bright lemon-yellow to deep sunset orange**. It provides an ideal clean-label alternative to synthetic dyes like Sunset Yellow (FD&C Yellow No. 6) and Tartrazine (FD&C Yellow No. 5).
Thanks to our spray-drying microencapsulation wall, the powder exhibits excellent thermal resistance during standard beverage pasteurization (UHT and HTST). When stored in original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct light, its shelf life is **24 months** with minimal assay degradation.
Yes! In addition to our standard food-grade CWS powder, we manufacture **Beta Carotene 10% CWS-S**, which utilizes modified starch and maltodextrin as the carrier matrix. It is 100% gelatin-free, vegan, Kosher, and Halal certified.
Our standard commercial packaging MOQ is **20kg** (1 fiber carton). For trial color-matching or lab pilot runs, we supply **100g to 500g evaluation samples** via express courier within 24–48 hours, complete with full analytical COA and application guidelines.
Each batch shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA), UV/HPLC Test Report, Heavy Metal ICP-MS Analysis, Microbiological Test Report, MSDS, Non-GMO Declaration, Allergen Statement, and Certificate of Origin.
