Natural Beet Red Pigment for Food & Cosmetics
Beet Root Red Color (Beetroot Extract Pigment) is a natural, water-soluble coloring agent derived from the roots of Beta vulgaris L., commonly known as edible red beet. The main active component, betanin (beetroot glycoside), provides a vibrant purple-red hue that is ideal for various food, beverage, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
Our Beet Root Red pigment is produced using advanced extraction and purification technologies to preserve the natural brilliance and purity of beet color compounds. The resulting product is a fine purple-red powder, easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, ensuring excellent dispersion and consistency in formulations.
Certified under ISO9001, FSSC22000, FDA, Organic Certification, Kosher, and Halal standards, this pigment meets the most stringent global quality and safety requirements. With over 60,000 acres of pollution-free raw material cultivation bases, we ensure full traceability and high purity from the source.
Beet Root Red is known for its natural, healthy, and eco-friendly characteristics, providing a safe alternative to synthetic dyes. Although it exhibits lower light and heat stability compared to synthetic pigments, it maintains stable and vivid coloration in pH 4.0–6.0 solutions, making it especially suitable for beverages, confectionery, and functional food applications.

Beet Root Red Color, also known as Beet Red, is a natural pigment primarily composed of betalains, a group of nitrogen-containing compounds responsible for the characteristic red-purple color of beetroot. The pigment is extracted through a gentle aqueous extraction and purification process, ensuring minimal loss of bioactive compounds while achieving a clean, stable pigment suitable for industrial use.
This natural colorant is widely recognized as one of the most versatile and health-friendly food pigments, suitable for beverage, confectionery, dairy, bakery, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
Chemical Composition and Solubility
The primary pigment component is betanin, which gives beetroot its distinctive red hue. Beet Root Red appears as a purple-red powder, highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol solutions.
Under pH 4.0–6.0, the pigment exhibits optimal color intensity and stability. At lower or higher pH levels, betanin may shift hue slightly toward orange or purple, depending on acidity and ionic strength.
Despite its natural origin, Beet Root Red offers good coloring power and can achieve vibrant color saturation even at low dosage levels.
