Ultraviolet screen., Therapeutic Category (Vet): Vitamin A precursor for all species except cats., Use (kg, approx.) in Germany (2009): >50, Consumption (g per capita, approx.) in Germany (2009): 0.000611, Calculated removal (%): 94, Use Classification: Food additives, Fragrance Ingredients, Food Additives -> COLOUR -> JECFA Functional Classes, Cosmetics -> Skin conditioning, Cosmetic colorant, Household Products: Information on 35 consumer products that contain beta-Carotene in the following categories is provided:, • Personal Care, Methods of Manufacturing: beta-Carotene is ... made by a microbial fermentation process from corn and soybean oil., Formulations, Preparations: Beta-carotene supplements are available as synthetic beta-carotene and natural beta-carotene. Synthetic beta-carotene is comprised mainly of all-trans beta-carotene with small amounts of 13-cis beta-carotene and even smaller amounts of 9-cis beta-carotene. Natural beta-carotene is principally derived from the algae Dunaliella salina and is comprised of all-trans beta-carotene and 9-cis beta-carotene. Three mg of beta-carotene is equal to 5, 000 UIs. Supplemental intake of beta-carotene ranges from 3-15 mg, day., GRADES: ACCORDING TO USP, UNITS OF VIT A, SOLD AS PURE CRYSTALS, AS SOLN IN VARIOUS OILS, AS COLLOIDAL DISPERSION.
