Products Description of β-Carotene CAS#7235-40-7

β-carotene belongs to carotenoids. It is ubiquitous and the most stable natural pigment in nature. It is an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound, a shiny rhombohedral chemical book or crystalline powder, mainly derived from natural foods such as green plants and yellow and orange fruits. The dilute solution of β-carotene is orange-yellow to yellow, with orange color when the concentration increases, and may be slightly reddish due to different solvent polarity.
