Carotene (Yellow–Orange Natural Color) – Bulk Supply for Bakery, Confectionery & Beverage Applications
Product Overview
Carotene is a natural yellow–orange pigment extracted from carrots, palm fruit, and algae (Dunaliella salina). It is a clean-label colorant and antioxidant, widely used in bakery, confectionery, beverage, and dairy applications to impart vibrant, warm hues while supporting nutritional value with provitamin A activity. Its excellent heat and light stability makes it ideal for use in high-temperature or long-shelf-life formulations.
