Premium Beta Carotene Powder | 1%-30% Natural Carotene Content | Plant-Derived Antioxidant for Supplements, Food Coloring & Animal Feed
Our Natural Beta Carotene Powder is a premium, plant-sourced extract rich in beta-carotene-a powerful antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A. Derived from carefully selected sources like carrots, palm fruit, and marigold flowers, our powder undergoes a gentle extraction process to preserve the natural bioactivity of beta-carotene, ensuring exceptional purity and stability.
As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we specialize in producing natural beta carotene powder with standardized concentrations (1%-30%), making it ideal for applications requiring both nutritional value and natural pigmentation. Unlike synthetic alternatives, our natural beta carotene powder is free from artificial additives, solvents, and GMOs, meeting clean-label demands and strict global safety standards. Trusted by food, supplement, and animal feed industries worldwide, it delivers consistent color intensity and antioxidant benefits in every batch.

Quality Control Measures
1.Raw Material Testing: Each plant batch is tested for beta-carotene content (minimum 0.5% in raw material) and pesticide residues.
2.In-Process Monitoring: Extraction temperature and time are logged to prevent beta-carotene oxidation.
3.Final Product Testing:
- Beta-carotene assay via HPLC (accuracy within ±2% of labeled concentration).
- Color intensity measured using spectrophotometry to ensure batch consistency.
- Heavy metals tested via ICP-MS; microbial limits verified using ISO standards.
4.Traceability: Each batch is assigned a unique ID, linking to raw material source, production parameters, and test results (accessible via our client portal).
Product Applications
Our Natural Beta Carotene Powder delivers versatile benefits across industries, leveraging its dual role as a nutrient and pigment:
- Dietary Supplements: A key ingredient in multivitamins, capsules, and powders targeting vitamin A support, immune health, and antioxidant protection. Its natural origin makes natural beta carotene powder ideal for "clean label" supplements, providing a safer alternative to high-dose synthetic vitamin A.
- Functional Foods & Beverages: Used as a natural colorant in dairy products (yogurt, cheese), plant-based milks, juices, and breakfast cereals-replacing synthetic dyes like sunset yellow. It enhances visual appeal while boosting nutritional profiles with vitamin A activity, appealing to health-conscious consumers.
- Confectionery & Baked Goods: Added to candies, cookies, and snacks to achieve vibrant orange-red hues. Natural beta carotene powder retains color stability during baking, ensuring consistent product appearance without artificial additives.
- Animal Feed: Mixed into poultry, livestock, and aquaculture feed to support vitamin A levels, improve skin/feather health, and enhance egg yolk/meat pigmentation. Poultry farmers rely on it to achieve richly colored egg yolks without synthetic carotenoids.
- Cosmetics: Formulated into creams, lotions, and lip balms for its antioxidant properties and natural coloring. It helps protect skin from oxidative damage while adding a subtle, natural tint to formulations.
