Natural Colors for Beverages
We have developed a series of natural colors for beverage manufacture needs. They are all from plant origins, Kosher
certified and many of them are organic compliant. Call us at 1-951-735-2711 to discuss your needs. The following are some
new products we achieved.
1.Annatto color (a natural orange color) for beverages
Annatto was considered to be useless in beverage coloring since the acidity in beverages caused precipitation of annatto
(norbixn). Now this has become history. We have developed an annatto solution which does not precipitate from acidic
solutions. Moreover, the annatto colorant is stabilized with natural ingredients towards light and heat. It gives a rich looking
red-orange color in acidic beverages without precipitation. (Photo 1). It is perfect for tropical fruit beverages.

in different use levels, giving different hues from orang
e to deep red.
2. Organic Compliant turmeric solution (yellow)
We have also launched an organic compliant turmeric (curcumin) solution suitable for organic beverages and foods. The
curcumin used to make this solution is extracted with ethyl alcohol only, without any other solvents. The curcumin is then
dissolved in water with our special technology, without polysorbates or propylene glycol. In contrast to the turmeric
solutions found in the color market, our turmeric solution has exceptional stability towards light exposure, giving
extended shelf life to food products colored with it. It can be used in all foods when a bright lemon-yellow color is
desired, including beverages (photo 2), confectionery, bakery, dairy, fruit products and pickles.

is used in different levels, giving different hues.
3. Beta carotene, got to be ringing free!
Ringing is a big headache in beta carotene colored drinks. Now, take it easy! Try our ringing-free beta carotene
emulsions, you will find it never floats to the top forming rings in your beverage bottle necks! (Photo 3),
Furthermore, It has been greatly stabilized with natural ingredient. Its stability against light was measured at least
5 times more than other major beta carotene emulsions found in market (photo4)! Emulsions of both natural beta
carotene and synthetic carotene are available. Even more, emulsion of beta carotene from carrots is also available
for organic compliance.

We supply various natural colors derived from vegetables including red cabbage, red radish, purple yam and black
carrot, all odor free. Both liquid and powder forms are available.

turmeric, stabilized towards light, heat and acidity.

Natural Colors for Organic foods:
1. Organic Compliant Annatto solution (a natural orange color)
An acid stable, organic compliant annatto color solution (our code: 1955oalb natural orange color) has been achieved by
our research team. The annatto color is extracted with water, instead of any other solvents. The extracted annatto is then
dissolved in water using our special technology. This annatto color solution does not contain any polysorbates, propylene
glycol, as they are commonly used elsewhere but against the organic laws.
Being acid stable, this annatto natural orange color can be used in all foods including acidic foods such as fruit products
and fermented foods, yogurt, for example. This annatto color is more stable towards light exposure than conventional
annatto solution with polysorbates.
2. Organic Compliant turmeric solution (yellow)
We have also launched an organic compliant turmeric (curcumin) solution suitable for organic beverages and foods.
The curcumin used to make this solution is extracted with ethyl alcohol, without any other solvents. The curcumin is then
dissolved in water with our special technology, without polysorbates or propylene glycol.
In contrast to the turmeric solutions found in color market, our turmeric solution has exceptional stability towards light
exposure, giving extended shelf life to food products colored with it. It can used in all foods when a bright lemon-yellow
color is desired, including beverages, confectionery, bakery, dairy, fruit products and pickles.
