Ethyl beta-apo-8′-carotenoate (trans)（Cat No.:M051281） is a synthetic derivative of carotenoids, specifically designed to mimic the activity of natural carotenoids. This orange-red compound has a chemical structure similar to that of beta-carotene but includes an ethyl ester at one end, enhancing its solubility and stability. It is primarily used in the food and cosmetics industries as a colorant due to its vibrant hue. Additionally, it has applications in nutritional supplements where it acts as an antioxidant, providing benefits similar to those of natural carotenoids in promoting eye and skin health.
