Brand Wisapple
Description Fine, free-flowing, brown-red powder with a mild characteristic odor.
Solubility The product can be scattered into stirred cold water, to obtain a fine dispersion with an orange-yellow color.
Composition Modified food starch, glucose syrup, beta-carotene, medium-chain triglycerides, DL-alpha-tocopherol, tricalcium phosphate.

Application Used in effervescent tablets, beverages, and other food and dietary supplement products.

Storage/Handling
The product is sensitive to oxygen, light, heat, and moisture. It should therefore be stored in the tightly sealed, lightproof packaging in a cool place. Once opened, it is recommended to use the remaining contents as quickly as possible.

Features
The product shows excellent dispersibility in cold water, thereby saving time and energy otherwise required for heating the product. The powder disperses very readily at room temperature in aqueous media to form a fine dispersion of beta-carotene particles. The powder can either be added directly during the production process or added slowly to 20 to 100 times its weight of water.

Physiological importance
Beta-carotene has two independent effects in humans: it is a source of vitamin A and it prevents the harmful effects of free radicals.
In its role as provitamin A, it can enzymatically be converted into retinol on demand. The rate of conversion of beta-carotene to retinol is dependent on the source. 2 μg of beta-carotene dissolved in oil supply 1 μg of retinol. More than 12 μg betacarotene is required to produce 1 μg of retinol from mixed vegetables and fruits.
As an antioxidant, beta-carotene is able to scavenge aggressive free radicals and quench singlet oxygen, thereby reducing cell damage resulting from the oxidation of lipids, proteins, hormones, vitamins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. Free radicals may be involved directly in the development of malignant neoplasias,arteriogenesis, and coronary heart disease. Epidemiological studies show that low plasma beta-carotene and carotenoid concentrations correlate with an increased risk of developing different types of cancer, such as esophageal, stomach and skin cancers, as well as cardiovascular disease.
