Description

Natural Beta-Carotene oil is a red/orange compound sourced from Blakeslea Trispora. It is a red to dark red pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables.

Beta-carotene belongs to a large family called carotenoids, which are naturally occurring pigments found in plants, fruits and vegetables that are responsible for their vibrant colors. It is estimated that there are 500 different carotenoids, including beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, and beta carotene is responsible for the yellow and orange hues in these food.
