Beta-Carotene

Divi’s extensive portfolio for coloration and fortification

About Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene, a carotenoid naturally found in many green leafy and yellow plants, is a fat soluble, yellow-orange pigment with two major functions:

  • Fortification: Beta-carotene is a provitamin A, a precursor to the production of vitamin A in the body, and as such a safe source of vitamin A. It supports immune function, eye, skin and cardiovascular health. It also demonstrates strong antioxidant properties.
  • Coloration: Beta-carotene is used as healthy color in a variety of dietary supplement, food and beverage applications.

Quick dispersible beta-carotene for powder beverages

Divi’s unique CaroQuik beadlets are designed to enhance rapid, cold water dispersion of fortified powder beverages. Due to their innovative formulation, these specialty carotenoid beadlets improve powder beverage dissolution times. They offer fortification and color features for application in today’s popular sticks, dispersion caps and powder canister packaging.

Bright color for transparent beverages

An increasing number of consumers consciously choose more natural diet. Divi’s CaroClear Beta-Carotene is a nature-identical colorant that can be used to color clear and transparent beverages, such as flavored waters and soft drinks, but also energy and sports drinks. The result is a bright, transparent color that makes beverages very appealing to consumers. Divi’s CaroClear Beta-Carotene is taste neutral and shows excellent stability in applications
