Carmine cochineal contains carminic acid, a red coloring component derived from female cochineal insects. It is obtained through processes such as crushing, alkaline extraction, filtration, chelation, drying, and encapsulation, making it a natural pigment. Carmine cochineal has been used for food coloring since ancient times.
It is a type of anthraquinone natural pigment that distinguishes itself from others due to its exceptional physical and chemical stability. The carmine cochineal displays exceptional light and heat stability and is regarded as one of the safest natural colorants available.
Its color ranges from yellow to purple-red, depending on the particular type and can be applied across a broad range of pH values, making it suitable for various industries and processing conditions.
Natural carotene comes from the fruit oil of the palm tree, also known as palm fruit oil. It is a mix of α, β, and γ-carotenes that are obtained from palm fruit oil and is the richest natural source of combined carotenoids.
Natural carotene has a yellow color with a slight hint of orange and shows great stability against light, changes in pH, and heat.
Beta-carotene can vary in color from red to yellow, depending on its concentration and processing. It is highly tolerant to variations in heat, light, and pH.
Paprika red is an orange-red pigment found in mature red chili peppers. It primarily exhibits hues ranging from orange to reddish-orange and is stable against light, heat, and pH variations. This pigment offers vibrant color, strong coloring power, and excellent color retention.
Beet red is a natural pigment extracted from red beets. It can exhibit shades ranging from red to purple-red and has excellent pH stability. It is classified as a natural colorant in GB2760 with no specific usage range or quantity restrictions.
Turmeric comes from the rhizomes of plants in the ginger family, Curcuma. These plants thrive in sunlight and are robust in tropical climates.
Turmeric has a yellow color with a slight greenish tint, thanks to curcumin, its coloring component. It is highly heat-resistant and tolerant of different pH levels.
Annatto extract comes from the seeds of the redwood tree and is obtained through extraction. It has two specifications: annatto oil-soluble (lipophilic) and annatto water-soluble (hydrophilic).
The extract presents shades ranging from orange-yellow to orange and has excellent heat stability.
Gardenia yellow is a type of carotenoid pigment found in gardenia flowers. Its yellow pigment component is crocin, which is similar to the crocin found in saffron.
Gardenia yellow is effective in staining proteins and starches. It has good light and heat resistance under neutral or slightly alkaline conditions, but its heat and light resistance are lower under low pH conditions, making it susceptible to browning.
Chlorophyllin copper complex sodium salts are pigments obtained from chlorophyll extracted from natural sources such as silkworm droppings or chlorophyll-rich plants. They are refined through processes such as saponification and copperation.
Chlorophyllin copper complex sodium salts range in hues from light green to dark green and possess excellent stability against light and heat.
Spirulina blue is a natural food coloring derived from spirulina, a type of spiral-shaped microalgae.
Its primary components are phycocyanin and spirulina protein. Spirulina is known for its high protein content and complete amino acid composition.
Spirulina blue appears as sky-blue and maintains excellent heat stability.
