Scope

GB 1886.366-2023 is the English-translated version of 食品安全国家标准食品添加剂?β-胡萝卜素.

GB 1886.366-2023 is the Chinese national food safety standard for the food additive beta-carotene obtained by chemical synthesis from retinyl acetate or beta-ionone.

It gives the chemical name of the substance, the molecular formula C40H56, the structural formula and the relative molecular mass 536.89, taken from the 2018 international relative atomic masses.

It then sets the technical requirements: the sensory ones, where the colour runs from red to reddish brown and the product is a crystal or crystalline powder examined in a clean dry white porcelain dish under natural light, and the physical and chemical indicators, which now carry the identification tests and a lead limit.

Manufacturers and food control laboratories use it to accept a batch. It replaces GB 8821-2011, was issued on 6 September 2023 and has applied since 6 March 2024.

Foreword

This standard replaces GB 8821-2011 "National Food Safety Standard Food Additive Beta-Carotene".

Compared with GB 8821-2011, the main changes in this standard are as follows.

---Changed the starting materials in the range;

---Changed the color item requirements in the sensory requirements;

--- Put the contents under the identification test items into physical and chemical indicators;

---Deleted the smell item requirement in the sensory requirements;

---Deleted three indicators in the physical and chemical indicators: clarity test, melting point, and heavy metals (calculated as Pb);

---Added lead (Pb) indicator;

---Added description of commercialized products.
