How to Use: Step-by-Step Guidelines

For Beadlets (Tablets, Capsules, Powder Blends)

Calculate Dosage: Determine required amount based on target Beta Carotene content per serving (typical use: 0.5-5% of blend).
Pre-blend: Mix beadlets with a portion of dry carrier (e.g., maltodextrin) for even distribution before adding to main batch.
Main Blending: Use V-blender or ribbon blender for 15-20 minutes. Avoid excessive heat (<40°C).
Direct Compression: Beadlets are suitable for tableting due to excellent flow properties.

For Oil Suspension (Liquid Foods, Softgels, Cosmetics)

Gentle Homogenization: If separation occurs, warm container in water bath (<40°C) and stir gently until uniform.
Incorporation: Slowly add to oil phase of formulation under moderate agitation.
Dosage: Calculate based on final product's desired potency and color intensity.

Pro Tip: For beverage applications requiring clarity, inquire about our water-dispersible versions. For functional foods, it combines well with Food Grade Trehalose for enhanced stability.

Application Scenarios

Dietary Supplements: Vitamin A/antioxidant capsules, multivitamins, eye health formulas.
Functional Foods & Beverages: Coloring and fortifying juices, dairy products (yogurt, cheese), baked goods, and confectionery.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Natural colorant in makeup (lipsticks, blushes), antioxidant booster in anti-aging serums and creams. Often combined with Sodium Hyaluronate for skin benefits.
Animal Nutrition: Color and nutrient enhancement in pet food and feed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Product & Quality

Q: What is the main advantage of fermentation-derived over plant-extracted Beta Carotene?

A: Fermentation offers superior consistency (no seasonal/crop variation), higher achievable purity, a more sustainable profile, and freedom from agricultural contaminants like pesticides.

Q: Is this product suitable for organic certification?

A: Yes. Our fermentation process uses non-GMO strains and complies with organic standards in many regions. Please contact us for specific certification documentation (e.g., EU, USDA NOP).

Application & Formulation

Q: Can I use the beadlets in gummy supplements?

A: Yes, the beadlets are suitable. We recommend pre-dispersing in a small portion of the gummy mass or oil phase during manufacturing. For best results, request our application guideline.

Q: How does it interact with other ingredients like Oral Sodium Hyaluronate?

A: They are highly compatible. Beta Carotene provides antioxidant and pro-vitamin A support, while hyaluronic acid focuses on hydration. Together, they create synergistic “beauty-from-within” or topical skincare formulations.

Ordering & Logistics

Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

A: Standard MOQ is 20kg. Sample quantities (100g-500g) are available for qualified business evaluations.

Q: What documents accompany a shipment?
