Product Properties
Apoester is an oxygen-containing apocarotene compound among carotenoids. In the food industry, it is mainly used for the coloring of edible oil, margarine, jam, jelly and beverage products. In the feed industry, it is widely used in broiler poultry, especially the coloring of broiler skin, feet, fat and poultry egg yolk. It has a high precipitation rate in the target tissue and is a highly effective carotenoid additive.
The coloring principle of apo fat
• The unsaturation of conjugated double bonds in macromolecules is the chemical basis for color generation.
• The substance used for coloring absorbs a certain amount of light to produce color, and the molecular structure of the colorant determines the range of light absorption.
• Chromophoric group: The structure of the colorant substance must contain a chromogenic group, the common ones are carbon-carbon double bond, carboxyl group, ester group and ketone group.
• Auxochrome group: Some groups cannot produce color by themselves, but when connected with a conjugated system or a chromophore, the absorption wavelength can be shifted to the long-wave direction.
• Coloring of poultry products is the result of the interaction of chromophores and auxochromes.

FAQ
Q: What is the role of Β-Apo-8’-Carotenoic Acid Ethyl Ester as a feed additive?
A: Pigment additive: Apoester is a yellow pigment that can be used as a natural colorant in feed. By coloring the feed, you can improve the animal's acceptance of the feed and increase the visual appeal of the feed.
Visual stimulation: Animals have a strong preference for the appearance of feed, and brightly colored feed is usually more popular with animals. The yellow pigment of Apoester can stimulate the animal's appetite, promote its food intake, and increase the feed consumption rate.
Nutritional supplements: Although Apoester is not a nutrient in itself, as part of a feed additive, it can help ensure that animals get the nutrients they need. By making feed more attractive, Apoester helps animals better absorb other important nutrients, thereby promoting growth and health.
Improved production performance: By increasing feed consumption and nutrient absorption, Apoester can help improve animal performance, including increasing body weight growth rates, improving feed conversion rates and increasing egg production and reproductive rates of farmed animals.
