Purple Carrot Color (Anthocyanin Pigment) is a naturally derived coloring agent obtained from the roots of purple carrots, known for their deep violet and reddish-purple hues. These colors are primarily attributed to anthocyanins, natural polyphenolic compounds with both coloring and antioxidant properties.
Using pure water extraction and membrane purification, the pigment is refined to achieve excellent clarity, stability, and consistency, free from harmful solvents or additives. The final product appears as a purple-red liquid or fine powder, offering strong coloring power and superior compatibility in aqueous systems.
Composition and Solubility
The main active compounds in Purple Carrot Color are anthocyanins, mainly cyanidin and peonidin derivatives. These compounds are highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol solutions.
At pH 3.0–5.0, the pigment maintains a stable and vivid purple-red tone. Its color expression changes subtly with pH levels:
pH < 3: bright red tones
pH 3–5: stable purple-red (ideal range)
pH > 6: fades toward blue or grey
This color behavior makes Purple Carrot Color a perfect choice for acidic foods and beverages like fruit juices, soft drinks, and jams.
Stability and Performance
Compared to many natural pigments, Purple Carrot Color shows better light and thermal stability, especially when formulated within its optimal pH range. Its high stability makes it a preferred natural coloring agent for products requiring pasteurization or baking.
Key stability features:
1.Resistant to moderate heat treatment
2.Retains hue under controlled light exposure
3.Maintains color stability in acidic environments
4.Compatible with water-based formulations and hydrocolloids
