Description

Amaranthus Red is a natural pigment derived from Amaranthus tricolor L., a plant belonging to the Amaranthaceae family. This high-quality coloring agent is extracted using advanced biotechnology, ensuring its purity and effectiveness. Amaranthus Red is available in reddish-brown powder or granule form, making it suitable for various food applications. It demonstrates strong resistance to light and heat but has poor stability against oxidation and reduction, making it unsuitable for fermented foods or those containing reducing agents. This pigment remains stable in citric acid and tartaric acid, turns dark red in alkaline conditions, and is prone to fading in the presence of copper and iron.
