Product Introduction
Lake Amaranth Pigment is a versatile colorant derived from the Amaranthus plant, known for its vibrant red hue. As a lake pigment, it is water-insoluble and often used in solid formulations. The pigment is produced through a process that involves the interaction of food-grade aluminum salts with Amaranth dye, yielding a stable, intense color suitable for a variety of applications. Importantly, Lake Amaranth Pigment is regarded as safe for consumption, compliant with food safety regulations in many regions, and is widely utilized in industries ranging from food to cosmetics.
Production Process
The production of Lake Amaranth Pigment begins with the extraction of Amaranth dye from the Amaranthus plant. This natural dye is then treated with aluminum salts to create a pigment that is more stable and versatile for use in different formulations. During processing, the mixture goes through filtration and purification steps to remove impurities and ensure a high-quality final product. The resulting lake pigment is finely milled to achieve the desired mesh size, ready for incorporation into various products.
Application Scenarios
Lake Amaranth Pigment is commonly used in the food industry as a coloring agent for confectionery, beverages, dairy products, and baked goods. Because it is a water-insoluble pigment, it is often found in dry mixes, candies, and coatings. In cosmetics, it serves as a coloring agent in products like lipsticks, creams, and soaps. Additionally, its stability and safety profile allow its use in pharmaceuticals, where it adds color to tablets and capsules.
