APOCAROTINAL DISPERSION 20 MCT
APOCAROTINAL DISPERSION 20 MCT is beta-carotene in oil form dispersion in MCT. Some carotenoids are used in the food industry mainly as colorants in lemonades, margarine, butter, edible oils, soup powders, pastry and baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, custard, cheese, yoghurt and other dairy products. In addition to the coloring effect, carotenoids play an important role in metabolic functions. As it is not teratogenic, beta-carotene (provitamin A) in particular is added to many vitamin-fortified food products as a safe source of vitamin A.
