Food and nutraceutical raw materials, such as Beta Carotene and Alpha Lipoic Acid, are essential for dietary supplements and functional foods. Beta Carotene (C_40H_56) is a carotenoid that converts to vitamin A, supporting vision and immune function. Alpha Lipoic Acid (C_8H_14O_2S_2) is an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and aids in energy metabolism. These compounds are typically formulated by blending with carriers and encapsulating in tablets or powders. Used in the food, beverage, and supplement industries, they enhance nutritional profiles and support health. They generally have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place.
