Description

Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata rubra), also known as purple cabbage, is widely recognized for its vibrant color, crisp texture, and distinctive taste. This nutrient-dense vegetable is an abundant source of essential micronutrients and bioactive compounds. Notably, it serves as a valuable edible source of natural pigments, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to its deep red to violet-red hue.

Red cabbage extract contains over 30 anthocyanin pigments, with the primary constituents being derivatives of cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside in both non-acylated and acylated forms. This rich anthocyanin content makes it a highly sought-after natural coloring agent with significant health-promoting properties.
