Delta-Carotene

Delta-carotene (CAS 472-92-4) is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in plant sources; a precursor to vitamin A and a source of orange-yellow coloration in food and feed.

Where is Delta-Carotene used?

• Animal feed: yolk and skin pigmentation in poultry
• Livestock diets: provitamin A nutrition
• Food and beverage: carotenoid blends in beverages, dairy analogs and fat-based products for natural coloration and antioxidant stabilization
• Personal care: skin-conditioning formulations with carotenoid-derived color and antioxidant activity
• Agricultural supplement programs target provitamin A enrichment in animal nutrition.

Good to know: Supply is generally sourced as part of mixed natural carotene extracts rather than as an isolated single-isomer material for industrial use. Buyers should confirm these details at the specification stage.
