Buyer Decision Guide
Vitamin grades are specified by potency, carrier and purity, and the same vitamin name can cover several physical forms. Confirm the exact form and the analytical method before comparing quotations; overage and stability requirements are project-specific.
- Confirm the exact physical form and carrier
- Check declared potency and the assay method
- Review stability and overage needs for your format
- Confirm light, heat and oxygen sensitivity in handling
How This Grade Differs
beta-Carotene must be compared on physical form, carrier and declared potency rather than on the vitamin name alone. Powder, oil, crystal and diluted forms behave differently in blending, dosing and shelf life.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare beta-carotene identity, the 98.0%-101.0% HPLC assay, crystalline powder form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you control related substances?
Related substances are integrated on the same HPLC run used for the 98.0%-101.0% assay.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture <=5.0%, ash <=5.0%, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
What physical form does beta-Carotene Powder 98% ship in?
Fine orange-red crystalline powder, milled to 98% through 80 mesh.
Which specification figure should the purchase order reference for beta-Carotene Powder 98%?
The figure 98.0%-101.0%, measured by HPLC.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The regular MOQ is typically 1 kg. An evaluation sample of 10-20 g can usually be arranged before a formal order, subject to stock.
