Norbixin - Water Miscible is a aqueous alkali solution extracted from annatto seeds.

Bixin - Annatto Extract is a concentrated pigment obtained from annatto seeds and must be diluted for use.

Safflower (Carthamus) is one of humanity’s oldest crops with its use in China reported over 2,200 years ago. Safflower belongs to the Compositae or Asteraceae family, which is a branching, thistlelike herbaceous plant with spines on its leaves and bracts. Safflower is a common substitute for saffron due to its more favorable price. Safflower is therefore widely known as false saffron.

BioconColors Vegetable Carbon ( Carbon black) is made from fine particles of carbonized vegetable material, obtained through steam activation of vegetable fibers like e.g. peat, nut shells, wood and cellulose residues.

Curcumin is used by BioconColor in its formulated color solutions. Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice turmeric. The curcuminoids are natural phenols that are responsible for the yellow color of turmeric.

Chlorophylls are a group of naturally occurring pigments produced in all photosynthetic plants including algae and some bacteria. Chlorophyll is mainly extracted from alfalfa (Medicago sativa), nettles (Urtica dioica) or grasses. When used as food coloring Chlorophyll is processed to replace a magnesium atom at its center with a copper atom, which makes it more stable and also able to dissolve in water.

The purple or black color of the black carrot originates from its pigments called anthocyanins. Black carrot anthocyanins change in molecular structure as the pH of solutions change. This change in structure results in a shift in shade from red, purple to blue as the pH changes from acidic to basic.

Norbixin - Annatto Extract is a Concentrated norbixin pigment obtained from annatto seeds and must be diluted before use.

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a blue-green algae that grows naturally in freshwater. Spirulina has an extensive track record as a food supplement in many cultures. Spirulina contains green chlorophyll and phycobilins (a pigment–protein complex). The coloring properties of spirulina are the phycobilins, these are blue phycocyanins that on extraction create a range of blue hues. Spirulina color extract is available as a powder or liquid.

Betanin is the most important coloring compound in red beet juice. The color of betanin depends on pH; between four and five it is bright bluish-red, becoming blue-violet as the pH increases. Once the pH reaches alkaline levels betanin degrades by hydrolysis, resulting in a yellow-brown color. Beetroot red is available as a liquid, paste, or solid, depending upon the degree of processing.

Purple corn has one of the deepest shades in found in plants. Due to its richness in purple color, purple corn pigments have long been used to color foods and beverages.

Carmine lake - Low Tinctorials NF – 100 is obtained by precipitation of carminic acid with calcium and aluminum.

Bixin - Dispersible is a pigment obtained from annatto seeds, stabilized in emulsifiers and used in food and beverage applications where stability at low pH and non-migration properties are important.

Carmine lake - Water Miscible is a aqueous solution of carmine, stabilized in alkali solution and when required also in emulsifier

Carmine lake - Carmine Suspension is a carmine lake stabilized in emulsifier

Carmine lake - High Tinctorials is obtained by precipitation of carminic acid with calcium and aluminum

Carminic Acid - Carminic Acid Cristallized is a crystallized coloring pigment extracted from cochineal

Paprika - Oil Soluble is obtained by solvent extraction of Capsicum Annuum L.

Carminic Acid - Carminic Acid Spray Dried is a spray dried aqueous solution of coloring pigments extracted from cochineal standardized with carrier

Bixin - Acid Proof is a aqueous alkali solution extracted from annatto seed with great acceptability.

Purple Sweet Potato a a highly sough after source for natural food coloring, offering a raspberry pink/red/violet shade depending on the pH of the product it is being used for. Purple sweet potato is well-suited as food colorant for food products because purple sweet potato has a neutral flavor.

Norbixin - Acid Proof is a aqueous alkali solution extracted from annatto seeds with great acceptability.
