Explore our foundational ingredient lineup supplying leading nutritional and pharmaceutical brands worldwide
Delivering exceptional value, regulatory compliance, and biological efficacy for complex formulations
Beta Carotene—a prominent member of the carotenoid family and a primary precursor to Vitamin A (Provitamin A)—remains a cornerstone in the global functional nutrition and clean-label colorant markets. As search engines prioritize high Information Gain and E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness), procurement professionals must distinguish between synthetic structures and bio-fermented natural matrices. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes cater specifically to this distinction, providing stable, bioavailable, and micro-encapsulated formulations designed for high-stress industrial processes.
For global enterprises looking to optimize their supply chain, collaborating with a dedicated OEM beta carotene powder manufacturer is critical. We don't simply supply raw ingredients; we deliver macro-level industrial solutions. Our microencapsulated Cold Water Dispersible (CWD) powder and beadlet matrices are engineered to withstand thermal processing, shear stress during blending, and premature oxidation, ensuring your end products retain their nutritional potency and vibrant visual appeal throughout their shelf life.
Understanding user intent in B2B search channels highlights the demand for verified scientific parameters: bulk density, solubility profiles, heavy metal limits, and pesticide-free certifications. This whitepaper outlines the exact technical standards, manufacturing parameters, and regional sourcing benefits when partnering with our factories in China.
A global leader in natural active ingredients supported by 3 manufacturing bases and over 20 years of expertise
Benefiting from the solid foundation provided by its parent company, Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc. focuses on researching, developing, producing, and selling healthy natural ingredients. With more than two decades of industry experience, it has become a leader in the field, specializing in providing high-quality plant extracts and customized solutions to global customers. Services meet the needs of industries including herbal medicine, health foods, dietary supplements, food and beverages, daily chemicals, and cosmetics.
Our operations are supported by three companies—Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc., and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.—which together operate 3 production bases covering more than 100 acres and process more than 3,000 tons of plant raw materials each year. Our product range includes more than 200 plant extracts, and we also provide a variety of certified organic products to meet the global demand for environmentally friendly and healthy solutions. Exporting to 60% of the world's countries, serving more than 200 countries and regions and more than 500 customers from all walks of life.
Powder collection, crushing and sieving, mixing, and drying processes are all performed in a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment. Our operators strictly follow hygiene protocols and wear sterile gowns, masks, and gloves to maintain product purity and safety, thus ensuring that we provide our customers with high quality standards and reliable ingredients.

Maximizing procurement efficiency through raw material abundance, process innovation, and scale
Chinese factories lead in spray drying, fluid bed coating, and emulsion tech. We convert lipid-soluble beta carotene into highly stable Cold Water Dispersible (CWD) powders and starch-coated beadlets.
Operating out of major bioregional clusters allows us to source high-grade carrier materials, clean starches, and natural antioxidants (like tocopherols) locally, ensuring uninterrupted shipping cycles.
By pairing HPLC verification methods with heavy metal, microbial, and residual solvent testing, we achieve chemical purity and physical consistency conforming to EP, USP, and JP standards.
Driving formulation success with clean label solutions and bio-based raw material alternatives
Consumers are demanding natural sources over synthetic petroleum-derived versions. We process non-GMO, bio-fermented beta carotene derived from Blakeslea trispora or natural algae (Dunaliella salina), offering clean-label alternatives for strict markets like the EU and North America.
Modern applications avoid chemical emulsifiers like polysorbate 80. Our OEM formulations use clean-label carriers such as modified food starch, gum arabic, and pea protein, meeting the clean-label demands of major retail buyers.
Protecting carotenoids from light, heat, and oxygen is key. Our double-shell microencapsulation shields active beta-carotene molecules, preventing premature color degradation and potency loss in premixes and shelf-stable foods.
Tailored physical states, dispersibility profiles, and carrier matrices for global markets
Depending on your industry, beta carotene serves dual purposes: nutritional fortification (Provitamin A) and natural coloration (shades of yellow, orange, and red). Standard oil-soluble beta carotene fails in aqueous environments without advanced emulsion physics. Our factory solves this by offering targeted specifications:
Ensuring cross-border compliance through rigorous validation and supply chain security
Our factories hold Kosher, Halal, ISO 22000, HACCP, and GMP certifications. All OEM batches are fully traceable from feedstock inoculation/cultivation to final export packaging, facilitating customs clearance.
We issue a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with every shipment. Parameters tested include HPLC purity, loss on drying, heavy metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cd), solvent residue, microbiological profiles, and pesticide screens.
Whether your system requires a ultra-fine powder for smooth dispersibility, or large-grained non-dusting beadlets for high-speed tablet runs, our R&D team fine-tunes the physical parameters to match your setup.
Addressing core technical questions from global procurement managers and developers
Natural beta carotene is derived from organic sources like Blakeslea trispora fermentation or Dunaliella salina algae. It provides clean-label market compliance and a natural isomeric mix (including both trans and cis-isomers). Synthetic beta carotene is chemically synthesized from petrochemical precursors, containing primarily all-trans isomers, which lacks clean-label appeal for premium brands.
Standard beta carotene is hydrophobic and oil-soluble. CWD powder undergoes microencapsulation, wrapping the carotenoid in a water-soluble matrix (like modified starch or gum arabic). This enables the powder to disperse evenly in water-based formulas within seconds, without forming oil rings or settling at the bottom.
Carotenoids are highly sensitive to thermal degradation and oxidation. We utilize double-shell microencapsulation technology combined with nitrogen-flushed packaging. Additionally, natural antioxidants like mixed tocopherols and ascorbyl palmitate are added to the matrix to maximize stability throughout the product's shelf life.
We provide full documentation, including ISO 9001, ISO 22000, Kosher, Halal, HACCP, and GMP certificates. We also supply third-party test reports (SGS/Eurofins) for heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents to meet target country regulations.
Yes. While gelatin and modified starch are standard carriers, we offer customized OEM options, including pea protein, gum arabic, and organic brown rice dextrin. These alternatives help you create allergen-free, non-GMO, and vegan-friendly end products.
Our OEM beta carotene powders have a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacture date when stored in unopened original containers in a cool, dry place. Once opened, containers should be sealed tightly and used promptly to prevent oxidation.
