Product Description
β - carotene is the most common isomer of carotene. Conjugated double bonds composed of isoprene residues as units belong to polyene pigments. A crystal or crystalline powder that appears as a dark red purple to dark red glossy rhombic or plate-like microcrystalline. There is a slight odor and odor. Insoluble in water, propylene glycol, glycerol, acids, and bases, soluble in carbon disulfide, benzene, and chloroform, slightly soluble in ether, petroleum ether, cyclohexane, and vegetable oil, almost insoluble in methanol and ethanol.
The dilute solution appears orange yellow or yellow, and as the concentration increases, it appears orange to orange red; Unstable to light, heat, and oxygen, not acid resistant, but relatively stable to weak alkalinity; Not affected by reducing agents such as ascorbic acid, heavy metal ions, especially Fe3+, can promote its fading; Good coloring performance for oily foods.
ADI value 0-5mg/kg (FAO/WHO, 2001), LD50>8000mg/kg (oil solution, dog, oral).
It belongs to the edible synthetic orange yellow pigment that can be used, with vitamin activity and higher safety than other synthetic colorants.
