What Is Gardenia Red?

Gardenia red is a water-soluble natural colour made from Gardenia jasminoides fruit. It gives a purplish-red to dark-red shade in beverages, confectionery and other foods where permitted, and is used in natural colour blends.

The TDS controls colour strength at 440 ± 5 nm, loss on drying ≤7%, ash ≤4% and pH 5–7 in a 10% solution, with arsenic, lead, heavy-metal and microbiological limits.

Store it dark and dry, preferably at 5–10°C. It is not regulated as dangerous goods. Food and beverage use requires a grade permitted in the destination market.

As a gardenia red supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the powder in 25 kg cardboard drums.
