Description

Enocyanin is a natural colorant belonging to the anthocyanin family, valued for its vibrant red to purple hues and stability in various pH ranges. This compound is essential for manufacturers seeking clean-label, plant-based alternatives to synthetic dyes for food, beverage, and nutraceutical applications. It is particularly sought after by producers in the food & beverage, dietary supplement, and cosmetic industries for its coloring properties and potential health benefits.

Application

• Food & Beverage Coloring: Used as a natural colorant in fruit juices, soft drinks, yogurts, confectionery, and dairy products to provide stable red, purple, or blue shades.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into capsules, tablets, and health powders for its coloring properties and as a marker for antioxidant-rich formulations.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a natural coloring agent in syrups, coatings for tablets, and other medicinal preparations.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in formulations for lipsticks, blushes, and other color cosmetics to provide natural pigmentation.
• Laboratory & Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical research for studying anthocyanin properties, antioxidant activity, and natural product chemistry.
