Description
Beta-Carotene Microparticles 20% are a high-concentration, cold-water-dispersible form of provitamin A beta-carotene. The carotenoid is embedded in a protective matrix and shaped into fine microparticles that resist oxidation, light and heat far better than unprotected powders. When stirred into water, the microparticles burst into a uniform yellow-orange dispersion, making them ideal for coloring and fortifying beverages and liquid systems. The 20% concentration delivers strong color impact and provitamin A value from a small addition, keeping formulations lean. Produced under strict purity and microbiological controls, they offer a dependable, stable beta-carotene source for food, beverage and supplement manufacturers worldwide. Its provitamin A activity also supports vision, skin and immune health alongside its coloring role. The microparticles pass 20 mesh with most retained on 40 mesh, a size range tuned for suspension in liquids. The grade is produced under strict heavy-metal and microbiological controls. In practice the microparticles are dispersed in water first and then added to the beverage stream, giving even color from the first bottle to the last. They also survive UHT processing without fading. Every batch is released against a full quality panel covering appearance, purity, heavy metals and microbiology, so each shipment arrives with documented conformity and traceable batch records. How the 20% microparticles work: the high concentration packs strong color and provitamin A into a small dose, and the microparticle structure is engineered for liquids - particles suspend evenly, resist settling and disperse without flecking. The encapsulated carotenoid is shielded from oxidation and light, protecting both color and vitamin activity. Practical guidance: pre-disperse in water and add to the beverage stream for uniform color; use it in juices, sports drinks and flavored waters; color dairy such as cheese and ice cream; and fortify bakery, sauces and instant foods. Quality assurance: produced under strict heavy-metal and microbiological controls with assay and particle size tested per batch, documented for buyers. For beverage and dairy manufacturers, this grade delivers high-impact natural color with production-friendly handling. Specification highlights: it is packed in 20kg/drum with a minimum order quantity of 100kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Documented quality from batch to batch: every production lot is verified against the full specification - identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology - before release, and the resulting certificates and batch records travel with each shipment to support qualification and audit. Raw materials are sourced to defined standards, storage follows the conditions stated in the specification, and the product ships in its original, intact packaging. Shelf life and storage requirements are clearly documented, so purchasing, warehouse and quality teams all work from the same reference. This repeatable quality system is what makes the grade dependable for multi-year supply agreements.
Applications
It colors and fortifies juices, sports drinks, flavored waters and soft drinks with yellow-orange shades. Dairy products such as cheese, butter and ice cream use it for consistent natural coloring, and bakery, sauces and instant foods use it for both color and vitamin A value. Supplement makers use it in drink powders and effervescent products where dispersibility matters.
Advantages
The microparticle format is engineered for liquids: it disperses instantly without flecking or settling, a common failure of plain powders in clear drinks. Its high 20% concentration means minimal addition for strong color, protecting flavor and cost. Strict contaminant controls and dependable supply make it the reliable choice for beverage and dairy color-and-fortify programs.
