What is Beta Carotene?

Beta Carotene is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in plants, fruits, and vegetables. It is widely used in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its role as a precursor of vitamin A and its antioxidant properties.

Beta Carotene is typically derived from natural sources such as carrots, palm oil, or algae, or produced through synthetic processes, and is used as a colorant as well as a functional ingredient in various formulations.
