Product Introduction
Beet red powder pigment is a natural coloring agent extracted from the root of the beet (Beta vulgaris). Its vibrant red hue is primarily due to a pigment called betanin, which is responsible for the characteristic color of beets. This powder is popular for its appealing color and is increasingly favored over synthetic colorants due to its natural origin. The color can range from a bright, cherry red to a darker, purplish shade depending on the processing method and concentration.
Production Process
The production process for beet red powder pigment typically begins with the selection of high-quality beets. After harvesting, the beets are washed and peeled to remove any soil and debris. The clean beets are then cooked, which helps to extract the betanin pigment. Following extraction, the liquid is filtered to remove solid particles and further concentrated. The concentrated pigment is then spray-dried or freeze-dried to produce a fine powder. Throughout this process, care is taken to maintain the color and properties of the betanin, ensuring a quality final product that retains its natural attributes.
Application Scenarios
Beet red powder pigment is widely used across various industries. In the food industry, it serves as a natural dye for products like juices, yogurts, baked goods, and candies. It is also popular in the cosmetics industry for providing color to products such as lipsticks and gels. Beyond food and cosmetics, beet red powder pigment is utilized in dietary supplements, lending both color and potential health benefits attributed to beets. Its versatility and natural origins make it an appealing choice for many applications.
