What Is Gardenia Blue Powder?

This product is a natural blue pigment that is water soluble and derived from gardenia fruits by means of sophisticated biotechnology. This plant-based alternative has no hazardous residues of genipin blue pigment, unlike synthetic colourants such as Brilliant Blue FCF.

The extraction procedure cleans gardenia of the blue chemicals and removes other undesired plant components. The powder obtained appears dark blue in the dry state and turns to a vivid azure colour upon dissolution in aqueous solutions.

This natural colourant solves two major industrial problems: meeting regulations to phase out synthetic dyes and satisfying customer desire for clean ingredient labelling. Food and beverage formulators and cosmetic producers utilise this pigment for brilliant colouring without artificial additives.
