Carrot extract

Carrot extract (CAS 84929-61-3), also known commercially as Daucus carota ext., is derived from the root of the common carrot and concentrated for use across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical manufacturing.

It delivers natural colorants, carotenoids, and flavor compounds that replace synthetic alternatives in finished formulations. In food and beverage production, it functions as a natural coloring and flavoring agent.

This extract is used in juices, soups, sauces, and processed vegetable products. Nutraceutical and supplement manufacturers incorporate it as a source of beta-carotene and antioxidant compounds in capsules and softgels.

It is also utilized in functional food formats. Cosmetic formulators use it in skin care creams, serums, and suncare products where carotenoid content supports antioxidant positioning in the finished product.

Pharmaceutical applications include its use as a natural excipient or active botanical ingredient in standardized herbal preparations. Carrot extract is supplied as a liquid extract, dry powder, or oil-soluble concentrate.

The format depends on the intended application. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available, with some suppliers offering standardized grades defined by beta-carotene content.

Organic-certified material is available for manufacturers targeting clean-label or certified organic finished products. This versatile ingredient meets various industry requirements for natural and effective formulation components.
