ETHYL BETA-APO-8'-CAROTENOATE (TRANS) CAS 1109-11-1 Wholesale & Bulk

Ethyl beta-apo-8'-carotenoate (CAS 1109-11-1, E160f), also known as Apoester, belongs to the apocarotenoid family with molecular formula C₃₂H₄₄O₂. It exists as orange crystalline solid, barely soluble in water while dissolving in organic solvents and vegetable oils. It can be naturally found in trace amounts in plants, yet commercial products are mainly chemically synthesised.
Its dominant application is as a feed pigment. Added to poultry feed, it accumulates in organisms to enrich golden-orange colour of egg yolks, poultry skin and shanks, often combined with canthaxanthin for better colour performance. It can be bioconverted into vitamin A in animals. It also serves as a permitted colourant for certain food items.
This compound is sensitive to light and oxidation, requiring proper lightproof storage. JECFA has set a group ADI for relevant carotenoids to ensure safe usage.
