Description

  • Application: β-Carotene has been used:as standard for quantification of b-carotene using HPLC analysis[1]as a standard for the identification and quantification of authentic standards for carotenoid groups[2]for standard curve preparation in the measurement of β-carotene production[3]for standard curve preparation in nutritive assays[4]
  • Biochem/physiol Actions: β-Carotene (pro-vitamin A) is a member of carotenoids. This antioxidant plays a vital role in human physiology.[5] β-Carotene is an abundant carotenoid. It is considered as a precursor of vitamin A, which is a lipid soluble antioxidant with vitamin E properties.[5][6]
