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.

As a natural red colorant, Amaranthus Red is widely used in various food products, including:

• Beverages: Carbonated drinks, flavored waters, and prepared wines
• Confectionery: Candies, jelly, and pastry decorations
• Traditional Delicacies: Green plum, hawthorn-based products, and colored silk treats

With its ability to enhance visual appeal, Amaranthus Red contributes to the rich and vibrant hues of food products, making them more attractive to consumers.

Beyond its coloring function, Amaranthus Red also offers nutritional advantages. Extracted from amaranth leaves, it is a rich source of antioxidants, phytonutrients, and essential minerals, including:

• Vitamin C: Supports immune function and skin health
• Iron: Helps prevent anemia and boosts oxygen transport in the body
• Calcium: Contributes to strong bones and overall well-being
• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Helps reduce inflammation and lowers the risk of chronic diseases
