With rice and
soybeans as raw material, the
produced red Monascus
pigment is a high class natural food pigment in use of liquid
submerged fermentation and unique refining technology. This product
has high color value, good water-solubility, high purity, good
optical stability, wide range PH application, pure tone, and
convenient usage etc. Traits:
Red or wine red liquid or powder, soluble in water, ethanol, aether
& glacial acetic acid. Liquor is bright red as thin layer while
it抯dark brown and
fluorescent as thicker layer. Color tone to pH value is stable
(PH4~*0). Heat resistance is strong(above
**0℃). It’s stable
to ultraviolet radiation but chroma will decline under daylight,
hardly influenced by metal ions (such as 0.*1mol/L
Ca2+,Mg2+,Fe2+,Cu2+). As well as Oxidation reductants, e.g. 0.1%
hydrogen dioxide, vitamine C, sodium sulphitec,
etc. Applications: Widely used in meat, sauced
products, spices, seafood, flour products, puffed food, juice
drinks, dairy products and cosmetics. Usage:
This product has good water and alcohol solubility. It can be
dissolved directly in water and *0% alcohol according to the amount
required, then added into the ingredients to color according to the
chroma required. If use *0℃water, the
solution will be shorter.
