Description

Carotene is a naturally occurring pigment found in plants, fruits, and vegetables. It is responsible for the vibrant orange, yellow, and red hues in many foods and is a precursor to Vitamin A, making it an essential compound for human health. Carotene, particularly Beta-Carotene, plays a significant role in boosting immune function, maintaining healthy skin, and promoting vision health. It is widely used in the food industry as a natural colorant and in the nutraceutical sector for its antioxidant properties.
