Beta Carotene Oil

Beta Carotene Oil is a formulation in which beta-carotene, a naturally occurring red-orange pigment and provitamin A carotenoid, is dispersed in an oil-based medium. This suspension enhances the stability, bioavailability, and practical application of beta-carotene, particularly in industries such as nutraceuticals, food fortification, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

HSF's Beta Carotene Oil Suspension is a dark red to reddish-brown oily liquid prepared by mixing β-carotene from Blakeslea trispora with vegetable oil.

Why Fermentation-Derived Beta-Carotene

A Controlled and Sustainable Production Route
Our beta-carotene is produced through a well-established fermentation process using Blakeslea trispora, a natural fungal strain. This production method offers distinct characteristics compared to alternative sources:

Formulation Principle: Oil Suspension Design

Rationale for the Oil-Based Formulation
Beta-carotene is a lipophilic compound. Our oil suspension formulation is designed to address specific technical requirements for its effective use.

Enhanced Dispersibility and Bioavailability: By dispersing high-purity beta-carotene (≥96% purity) uniformly in sunflower oil, we create a stable suspension. This liquid form is designed to improve dispersibility in oil-based systems and support bioavailability in finished products compared to crystalline or dry powder forms.

Formulation Stability: The inclusion of Vitamin E (≤5.0%) serves as an antioxidant. Combined with our oxygen-controlled processing (dissolved oxygen maintained at DO ≤ 3%), this formulation is designed to protect beta-carotene from oxidative degradation during storage and processing.

Technical advantages

Screening and optimization of natural strains:

Construction of strain library: Collect more than 3,000 strains of natural microorganisms to establish a dedicated strain resource library.

High-throughput screening technology: Using microfluidic chip technology, an average of 500 strains are screened aily, and finally locked in Blakeslea trispora HSF-Bt07, whose β-carotene synthesis capacity is 3 times that of wild strains.

Adaptive evolution technology (ALE): Through long-term stress culture (such as high osmotic pressure and low temperature), the strain's stress resistance is enhanced, and there is no yield attenuation after 20 generations of continuous fermentation, and the stability reaches 99%.

Fully enclosed intelligent fermentation system:

Fermentation technology + intelligent equipment dual engine, the final solution to the problem of light-oxygen sensitivity
Light-proof and oxygen-controlled design: double-layer stainless steel fermentation tanks are used, with anti-ultraviolet coating on the outside and a nitrogen covering system integrated inside, and the dissolved oxygen content is controlled at DO≤3% (industry average 8%) throughout the process.

Dynamic control technology:

Real-time monitoring: embedded sensors collect 12 parameters such as pH, temperature, and bacterial density every 10 seconds; intelligent feeding: based on machine learning algorithms, accurately predict the carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N) requirements, automatically adjust the feeding rate, and increase the bacterial density to 65g DCW/L (traditional process 40g DCW/L).

Two-stage fermentation strategy:

High-Bensity proliferation period:

Optimize the culture medium formula, and the biomass increases by 300% within 48 hours; high-efficiency hormone production period: trigger metabolic bursts through gradient temperature increase, and the β-carotene production reaches 10g/L, which optimizes the fermentation cycle to the greatest extent.

Function

Improve visual function
A proper amount of beta-carotene can promote the normal content of rhodopsin, thereby avoiding the damage to the eyes caused by strong light after dark vision. In addition, it can also prevent night blindness, dry eyes, corneal ulcers, and corneal softening.

Improve skin condition and reduce radiation damage
Vitamin A is necessary to maintain the integrity of all epithelial tissues, and beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Therefore, taking a certain amount of beta-carotene can avoid skin diseases such as dandruff and keratinization. Beta-carotene also has a good effect on the stability of cell membranes. It can also be used to treat inflammation caused by sun exposure, "sunitis"

Improve immunity
Beta-carotene has the effect of enhancing the body's immune function. Based on the antioxidant effect of beta-carotene, beta-carotene is suitable for people with low immunity, such as those who are prone to colds.

Applications

Designed for Compatibility Across Multiple End-Uses
The physicochemical properties of our Beta-Carotene Oil Suspension support its use in various product categories:

Nutraceuticals (Softgels & Capsules): The standardized beta-carotene content (≥30.0%) and liquid oil form make it suitable as a direct fill material for softgel encapsulation, supporting manufacturing efficiency and dosage uniformity.

Food Applications (Oleaginous Foods): Its oil solubility allows for even dispersion in fatty food matrices such as margarine, cooking oils, and processed foods, where it functions as a natural colorant (E160a) and nutrient fortifier.

Cosmetics & Personal Care: As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, it can be incorporated into the oil phase of skincare formulations, where it contributes to free-radical scavenging activity and supports skin barrier function.

Storage and Packaging

Beta Carotene Oil can be stored for 24 months in a cool and dry place in the unopened original container. It shall be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, light, moisture, and oxygen.

Package: Packed in 1kg or 10kg aluminum cans, 20kg per carton
