Product Introduction
Sea buckthorn yellow pigment is a natural colorant derived from the berries of the sea buckthorn plant, which is known for its vibrant hue and numerous health benefits. This pigment is rich in carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene, contributing to its bright yellow color. It is commonly used in a variety of products due to its appealing aesthetic qualities and nutritional advantages. Consumers seeking natural alternatives for color additives often choose this pigment, as it meets the growing demand for clean label products.
Production Process
The production of sea buckthorn yellow pigment involves several steps, starting with the careful harvesting of ripe sea buckthorn berries. These berries are then thoroughly washed and dried to remove any impurities. Next, extraction is performed using a method such as cold pressing or solvent extraction, which helps to obtain the pigment from the berry pulp. The resultant extract is filtered and concentrated to yield a potent yellow pigment. The final product is then dried to a powder form, which is tested for purity and quality to ensure it meets industry standards before packaging.

In the food industry, it is often used to color juices, sauces, dairy products, and baked goods, enhancing their visual appeal without synthetic additives.
