Production Process Flow

Beta-Carotene Powder

Raw Material Sourcing

Organic carrots harvested at peak potency (DNA barcoding: Daucus carota).

Extraction

Solvent-Based: Ethanol-water (1:5 ratio, 50°C, 3h) → Macroporous resin purification.

Supercritical CO₂: 10-30 MPa, 30-50°C (preserves thermolabile compounds).

Standardization

HPLC-guided potency adjustment (1-98%)

Drying & Packaging

Low-temperature spray drying (inlet ≤70°C) → Nitrogen-flushed foil bags

Quality Control

1.Raw Material Screening: Pesticide residues ≤0.01 ppm (LC-MS/MS), heavy metal testing.

2.In-Process Controls:

Real-time SPC charts (CpK ≥1.67) for extraction parameters.

3.Final Product Validation:

Stability testing (40°C/75% RH for 6 months per ICH).
TPD/TSE/BSE-free certification for animal-derived products.

4.Traceability: Blockchain QR codes linking to batch-specific CoA.
