NATURAL TOCOPHEROL:  
    
Carotenoids
Carotenoids are found widely in animals and plants. They have colors ranging from yellow to red and are frequently used as coloring agents in food. Natural pigments, however, may develop noticeable fading. RIKEN NATURAL TOCOPHEROLS exhibited a marked effect on prevention of such fading of color.   Riken carried out addition tests of TOCOPHEROL on beta-carotene, annatto, astaxanthin, and paprika oleoresin. In stability tests, the samples were stored under fluorescent lighting at 60°C for 2 days. The results showed that the original color tones were retained in the RIKEN NATURAL TOCOPHEROLS addition group.
