Natural Pigment CO2 Supercritical Extraction for Food Colorants

 Natural Pigment CO2 Supercritical Extraction for Food Colorants

Introduction
Natural pigments extracted using CO2 supercritical technology offer safer and sustainable alternatives to synthetic colorants.

Advantages

1. Purity and Stability:
   Pigments like curcumin and beta-carotene maintain high purity when extracted with CO2 SUPERCRITICAL EXTRACTION MACHINE. Example: Carrot-derived beta-carotene yields increase by 35%.

2. Solvent-Free Processing:
   Unlike organic solvents, CO2 extraction ensures no toxic residues. Example: Annatto seeds produce vibrant orange pigments free from contamination.

Applications

• Confectionery: Bright red pigments from beetroot enhance visual appeal of candies.

• Beverages: Spirulina-derived blue pigments are widely used in natural sodas.

Conclusion
CO2 supercritical extraction redefines the production of natural pigments, providing eco-friendly and health-conscious solutions for food colorants.
