β-Carotene CAS 7235-40-7

β - carotene belongs to carotenoids, which are widely present in nature and the most stable natural pigment. It is an orange colored fat soluble compound with a glossy rhombohedral or crystalline powder, mainly derived from green plants and natural foods such as yellow and orange fruits. The dilute solution of β - carotene appears orange yellow to yellow, with an orange tint as the concentration increases, and may appear slightly red due to different solvent polarities.
