Product Description

Gardenia Yellow: Premium Natural Food Colorant for Clean-Label Formulations

    Gardenia Yellow is a plant-derived pigment extracted from ripe Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruits via advanced water-ethanol extraction and spray-drying processes. Its core active ingredients are crocin and crocetin, which deliver a vibrant bright yellow hue and ensure stable performance across diverse applications. As a 100% natural alternative to synthetic dyes, it perfectly aligns with global clean-label food trends.
This food-grade colorant boasts excellent versatility and stability. It is highly soluble in water and propylene glycol, easy to disperse in aqueous formulations, and compatible with most common food ingredients including sugars, acids, and salts. It maintains color integrity at temperatures up to 100°C (less than 5% color loss after 2 hours of heating) and within a pH range of 3.0–8.0, with no obvious discoloration in acidic, neutral, or weakly alkaline products. Indoor storage ensures good light stability, preserving its vividness throughout the 24-month shelf life.
    Safety is a top priority: our Gardenia Yellow is non-toxic, free of heavy metal residues, synthetic dyes, and preservatives, and complies with strict standards such as GB 2760, FCC, and FDA requirements. It is Non-GMO, vegan-friendly, and meets Halal and Kosher certifications, catering to global dietary preferences. With a total bacteria count of less than 100 CFU/g, it meets strict food-grade microbiological standards.
    Ideal for a wide range of food and beverage products—including noodles, pastries, candies, fruit juices, jams, and pet food—it requires only a low dosage of 0.01%–0.1% of total product weight for optimal coloring effects.
    Available in 80–120 mesh powder form, we offer flexible packaging: 1kg aluminum foil bags for small orders and 25kg food-grade sealed drums for bulk supply. With an MOQ of 1kg, free samples (up to 50g), and a daily supply capacity of 1000kg, we can meet both trial and large-scale production needs. Store in a cool, dry, light-proof environment to maintain quality.
