Description

Red Cabbage Color is a natural, plant-derived pigment obtained from carefully selected red cabbage leaves through a refined aqueous extraction process. The main chromophore compound is anthocyanin, a water-soluble natural pigment known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. This pigment is widely used to impart natural color shades ranging from pink to deep purple depending on the pH of the environment.

Our red cabbage pigment is sourced from Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra, cultivated in clean, pesticide-free fields. The extraction is performed via water-based extraction and purification, ensuring that the pigment retains its natural molecular structure and bioactive properties. The process involves:
1.Harvesting and cleaning of red cabbage leaves
2.Controlled thermal extraction
3.Filtration and concentration
4.Spray-drying into a fine, uniform powder
This method maintains the pigment’s color intensity, solubility, and safety while preventing degradation caused by excessive heat or solvents.
