Abstract

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

β-Carotene is the most common form of carotene in plants. When used as a food coloring, it has the E number E160a. 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 as hexane. Being highly conjugated, it is deeply colored, and as a hydrocarbon lacking functional groups, it is very lipophilic.

Usage

2: Edible orange pigment; Nutrition enhancer. Mainly used in margarine, noodles, cakes, drinks and health food, etc.

3: As a nutritional enhancer and food coloring. Rules can be used for all kinds of food in our country, according to production need to use.

For butter, margarine, oil, fruit juice, soft drinks, cakes, mayonnaise, etc. Can also be used ice cream, candy and other cheese

Application

β-carotene as an edible oil-soluble pigment, its own color due to differences in concentration, can cover all from red to yellow color, so by the food industry is quite a warm welcome. It is very suitable for oily product development and protein products, such as: margarine, capsules, fish paste refined products, vegetarian products, such as instant noodles palette. And β-carotene microcapsules after processing can be converted to a water-soluble dye, almost all foods can be applied.

β-carotene have important uses in feed, cosmetics and so on. Promote animal fertility and growth also has good effect.

β-carotene is an antioxidant with detoxification, is indispensable to the maintenance of human health nutrients, β-carotene can be converted in the body into vitamin A, there will not be caused due to excessive intake of vitamin A cumulative poisoning .
