Natural beta-carotene tablet-grade 7.5% and 15% beadlets are used for the production of:
- single beta-carotene tablets,
- multivitamin tablets,
- antioxidant tablets and
- (mixed) carotenoid tablets.
The micro-spherical beadlets are homogenised granulates, produced without preservatives. They can easily resist high pressures during tabletting (approximately 10 metric tons per cm2). As a result the beadlets are extremely stable after tabletting and suffer no leakage or subsequent loss of beta-carotene. The 7.5% and 15% beadlets provide respectively 125.000 and 250.000 IU/gr.
Excellent properties without any leakage
Different micro-encapsulation techniques provide different beadlet qualities. Strong beadlets can resist the high pressure during tabletting and do not show any leakage of beta-carotene. Breaking of beadlets results in orange spots of beta-carotene. As a consequence, the product will be exposed to oxygen during shelf life. This will lead to subsequent loss of beta-carotene and must be compensated for by adding an average in your tablet-formulation. CaroPure®/CaroCare® beadlets do not show any leakage or so-called extrusion.
