Technical Specifications & Quality Parameters

Superior Color Performance & Functional Benefits

Traditional uses whole flowers powder, which requires an exorbitant dosage to get the correct colouration. Our concentrated extract gives deep blues at dramatically reduced application rates.

The anthocyanin profile exhibits good pH-sensitive characteristics. The Butterfly Pea Flower Extract Powder is a bright blue colour at neutral pH (6.0-8.0). It will change to a bright purple as the pH lowers to 4.0-5.0 Magentas are unique and occur naturally below pH 3.0.

This colour altering ability could unlock new creative directions for beverage developers. You can make interactive beverages that change when you add citrus or other acidic ingredients.

Thermal stability tests indicate colour retention at 90°C processing temperatures for long periods of time. This performance beats many synthetic blues and competitive natural alternatives such as phycocyanin, which rapidly degrades under heat.

Diverse Industrial Applications

Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Ideal for colour shifting cocktails, sports drinks, herbal teas and ready-to-drink beverages. In low pH formulations, the extract is stable, whereas other natural blues precipitate or fade.

Bakery & Confectionery: Provide for bright blue colour in macarons, icings, sweets and heat-processed items. No appreciable loss of anthocyanin structure occurs at normal baking temperatures.

Cosmetics & Personal Care: Employed as a natural colourant and antioxidant source in lotions, shampoos, face masks and emulsion systems. The level of proanthocyanidin supports claims for product marketing in terms of skin health .

Dietary Supplements: Clean label appeal for capsule formats, attracting wellness-conscious consumers looking for plant-based ingredient alternatives.​​​​​​​

Quality Assurance & Testing Protocols

All production batches are carefully analysed before to release. To establish botanical identity and prevent species adulteration, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is used.

ICP-MS is used for heavy metals and GC-MS for pesticide residues are conducted to worldwide pharmacopoeia standards for contaminant screening. Microbiological safety verification: Total Aerobic Microbial Count, and pathogen screening for E. coli and Salmonella.
