gardenia yellow

Gardenia yellow, also known as crocin or gardenia yellow, is a food additive derived from the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, a plant of the Rubiaceae family. It is a natural colorant that undergoes extraction and refinement processes. The main components of gardenia yellow are crocin and crocetin. It is a non-toxic and highly safe natural carotenoid pigment found in the fruits of Gardenia plants. Gardenia fruits have been used as a natural dye since ancient times, capable of producing a vibrant yellow color. In another cultural context, Gardenia fruits are called "mute" because they remain intact when ripe, symbolizing "silence." Foods made with gardenia yellow as a natural pigment often exhibit vivid and lively colors, reminiscent of the beauty and elegance of Gardenia fruits.
