1. Product Introduction

β-Carotene is an organic, strongly colored red-orange pigmentabundant in plants and fruits. It is a member of thecarotenes, which are terpenoids (isoprenoids), synthesized biochemically from eight isoprene units and thus having 40carbons. Among the carotenes, β-carotene is distinguished by having beta-rings at both ends of the molecule. β-Carotene is biosynthesized fromgeranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.

β-Carotene is the most common form of carotene in plants. When used as a food coloring, it has the E numberE160a. The structure was deduced by Karrer et al. in 1930. In nature, β-carotene is a precursor (inactive form) to vitamin A via the action of beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase.

Isolation of β-carotene from fruits abundant in carotenoids is commonly done using column chromatography. It can also be extracted from the beta-carotene rich algae, Dunaliella Salina.The separation of β-carotene from the mixture of other carotenoids is based on the polarity of a compound. β-Carotene is a non-polar compound, so it is separated with a non-polar solvent such ashexane. Being highly conjugated, it is deeply colored, and as ahydrocarbon lacking functional groups, it is very lipophilic.

2. Uses

Beta-carotene is found in many foods and is sold as a dietary supplement. Medical authorities generally recommend getting beta-carotene from food rather than supplementation.

There is insufficient research to determine whether there is some minimum level of beta-carotene consumption that is necessary for human health and to identify what problems might arise from insufficient beta-carotene intake.
