The color has a mild flavour characteristic of carrot. It should be stored
below 136°C in a cool dry for enhanced shelf life. It is obtained by
the hexane extraction of edible carrots with subsequent removal of the
hexane by vacuum distillation. This contains oils, fats, waxes, and
carrotenoids naturally occurring in carrots.
