Chemical Properties
Carotene, its molecular formula is
, a purple-red or dark red crystalline powder. Melting point ~℃. Substances that can be converted into vitamins in animals are called provitamins. Its representative substance is carotene, which is divided into three isomers. Among them, carotene is relatively stable and highly effective.
Conventional production specifications

Carotene, whose name comes from the Latin word for carrot, is a member of the family of natural chemicals such as carotenes or carotenoids. It is found in large amounts in plants and gives fruits and vegetables their rich yellow and orange colors. Carotene is also used as a coloring agent in foods such as margarine.
Health Uses
Based on population-based research showing that people who eat four or more servings of carotene-rich fruits and vegetables daily are less likely to develop heart disease or cancer. . Interestingly, however, other studies indicate that people who deliberately take carotene supplements are actually more likely to develop these diseases. Researchers believe that a healthy and nutritious diet will be more effective in fighting cancer and heart disease than carotene supplementation alone.
Treating Sun Sensitivity
Studies have shown that high doses of carotene can reduce people's sensitivity to the sun, especially for those with skin diseases caused by sun exposure such as erythropoietic protoporphyria. It is especially helpful for people with conditions such as hives or eczema caused by exposure to the sun. They can supplement carotene in a targeted manner under the appropriate guidance of health care professionals, and their symptoms can slowly improve in about a few weeks.
