Global famous natural pigment

China's current "National Food Safety Standard for the  Food Additives Use" (GB 2760) stipulates that natural carotene, sorghum red, and beet red can be employed in the majority of food categories, and their application scope is relatively broad. Beet red has been approved for use as a food colorant by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other relevant agencies worldwide. It is labeled E162 in the European Union and can also be listed on the ingredient label under the general name "Beet red".

Superior production conditions

Beet red, also known as beetroot red, is a food additive derived from the extract of red beet (Laver head ) using water, and produced through spraying and drying. Red beet, also known as flame vegetable or laver head, belongs to the Familia Chenopodiaceae, Genus Beta, originally from Europe and widely cultivated in fields of China's Yangtze River basin. Modern scientific research has verified that red beets are highly nutritious, containing crude protein, soluble sugar, crude fat, dietary fiber, vitamin C, niacin, etc., as well as potassium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, ferrum, calcium, zinc, manganese, copper, and other minerals, which can nourish the body by supplementing the necessary nutrients. Thanks to the high yield of sugar beet and the continuous introduction of new varieties and spread throughout the vast land of our country, it offers sufficient raw materials for the extraction of beet red pigment. Besides, the extraction process of beet red pigment in our country is becoming increasingly mature, thus the production conditions of beet red pigment in our country are highly superior.
