Natural Beta-Carotene 10% DG/N is a free-flowing microencapsulated beadlet powder standardized to 10% beta-carotene. It is ideal for water-based food and beverage applications requiring a yellow-to-light-orange color or provitamin A fortification.
This 10% beta-carotene beadlet grade contains finely dispersed beta-carotene obtained through the fermentation of Blakeslea trispora in a matrix of non-GMO modified corn starch and corn oil. Mixed tocopherols are added as an antioxidant for shelf life extension. The coating contains white particles of corn starch, which may be visible in the product but do not affect the product quality. It results in a yellow-to-light-orange color when used in water-based applications.
