Description

Black carrots (Daucus carota L.) are primarily cultivated in China and India and are distinguished by their deep purple to black coloration, attributed to their high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants known for their beneficial health effects. In addition to anthocyanins, black carrots are a rich source of polyphenols, particularly phenolic acids, which contribute to their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Black carrot powder is widely used as a natural food colorant, offering a vibrant red-blue or magenta hue similar to grape skin extract. Due to its stability and natural origin, it serves as an excellent alternative to synthetic dyes in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries.
