Organic Beta Carotene Powder | CWS Beadlets | Pro-Vitamin A
Xi'an Tihealth Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a leading global B2B manufacturer specializing in high-stability Natural β-Carotene. Sourced strictly from premium botanical extraction or advanced microbial fermentation (Blakeslea trispora), our product completely bypasses synthetic petrochemical derivation, providing a 100% natural, clean-label Pro-Vitamin A precursor.
To overcome the inherent instability and insolubility of raw carotenoids, Tihealth employs proprietary Microencapsulation Technology. Our standardized 1.0% to 10.0% CWS (Cold-Water Soluble) Powders and oil suspensions effectively isolate the active compounds from oxygen, light, and heat. Delivering exceptional dispersibility and vibrant natural coloration, our β-Carotene is the preferred functional additive for dietary supplements, fortified beverages, and the global clean-label food industry.

CWS Microencapsulation & B2B Advantages
- Advanced Microencapsulation Shield: Raw β-Carotene's conjugated double bonds are highly sensitive to oxidative degradation. Tihealth embeds the active carotenoids within a robust carbohydrate/protein matrix. This drastically extends shelf life, prevents degradation during rigorous food processing (extrusion/baking), and completely masks any off-notes.
- Superior CWS (Cold-Water Soluble) Dispersion: Overcoming the inherent lipophilicity of carotenoids, our engineered CWS grade powder disperses rapidly and completely in cold water. It yields a stable, vibrant yellow-to-orange emulsion without any ringing, phase separation, or sedimentation-ideal for the RTD (Ready-To-Drink) industry.
- 100% Natural Traceability: Firmly rejecting synthetic azo dyes, our supply chain guarantees full traceability back to the biological source. Every batch is rigorously tested by independent third-party laboratories to ensure full compliance with strict USP monographs and EU food additive (E160a) regulations.
Evidence-Based Mechanisms & Applications
Beyond its vibrant coloration, our Natural β-Carotene serves as a foundational functional ingredient across multiple sectors:
- Safe Pro-Vitamin A Precursor (Dietary Supplements): It is safely and selectively cleaved into Vitamin A (Retinol) by the liver only as the body requires it, completely avoiding the toxicity (hypervitaminosis A) risks associated with direct, synthetic Vitamin A overdose.
- Ocular Health Formulations: As an essential precursor for synthesizing rhodopsin in the retina, it is frequently paired with Lutein/Zeaxanthin in premium vision-support capsules to alleviate visual fatigue and protect macular health.
- Clean-Label Food & Beverage Coloring: As global food regulators aggressively phase out synthetic azo dyes (e.g., Tartrazine, Sunset Yellow), our extract serves as a stable, label-friendly E160a colorant for dairy products, confectioneries, and sports drinks.
- Nutricosmetics (Skin Photoprotection): Incorporated into oral beauty products to increase the skin's natural tolerance to UV light and neutralize environmental free radicals through its potent singlet oxygen scavenging capability.
Formulator & Procurement FAQ
Our β-Carotene is 100% natural. It is derived either via advanced microbial fermentation (Blakeslea trispora) or extraction from natural botanical sources (like carrots). We firmly reject synthetic petrochemical derivatives, ensuring a pristine clean-label profile for your finished products.
It is exceptionally stable. The microencapsulation matrix physically shields the sensitive conjugated double bonds from oxidation and UV light. When stored in its original, sealed, light-proof packaging under 25°C, it maintains a certified shelf life of 24 months with negligible activity loss.
Yes. We offer robust OEM/ODM services, including custom oil suspensions for softgels and specific beadlet sizes for direct compression tablets. Our MOQ for customized raw powder blends is 50kg. We provide rapid sampling and fast mass-production turnaround to support your scale-up.
