Red Beet Root Extract

Red Beet Root Extract – Premium Plant-Based Pigment & Functional Ingredient

Easy Health Inc. provides pharmaceutical quality Red Beet Root Extract from fresh Beta vulgaris roots with excellent colour value from E30 to E100 with betanin concentration standardised to ≥10%. Water soluble (>98%), total plate count (<1,000 CFU/g) and heavy metals (Pb ≤ 2.0 ppm) are considerably below EU norm. Over 11 years of extraction experience. Fully complies with ISO, HACCP, Halal, Kosher and FDA regulations. This substance has a dual purpose, it provides red to purple coloration and natural nitrate and antioxidant properties. Ideal for clean-label recipes requiring replacement for synthetic dyes and sports nutrition applications requiring nitric oxide support.

What Makes Our Red Beet Root Extract Different?

Our patented water extraction process retains 95% of the active betalains and removes the earthy off-notes that are typical of most beetroot powders. You obtain a consistent E162 certified colourant that functions consistently throughout pH 4.0-6.0 systems.

Our spray-dried powder gives concentrated functionality at 0.05–0.3% usage rate, unlike raw beetroot concentrates which have substantial sugar burdens. Meaning less shipping expenses and easier inventory management to your production plant.

We have full traceability from source at farm level to final packaging. Every batch is checked by UV spectrophotometry at 535nm to make sure your colour value standards are the same as the label indicates, every time.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Natural Colorant?

Your clients are increasingly saying no to azo dyes and synthetic Red 40. Our Red Beet Root Extract solves this problem, providing GRAS-status, clean-label coloration without ADI limits as recognised by JECFA.

This excerpt gives you two things to market: a vivid visual, and cardiovascular assistance from natural dietary nitrates. This places your products in the colour correction and functional wellness categories at the same time.

We have deodorised grades for sensitive applications, such as dairy and confectionery, where beetroot's earthy overtones would interfere with flavour profiles. Your formulation team is more flexible without compromise in performance.

Application Versatility Across Industries

Our extract for plant-based meat replacements mimics the look and bleeding effects of fresh meat. The water-soluble form is homogeneously distributed in the protein matrix without any sedimentation problems.

It preserves the colour stability after pasteurisation up to 60°C in beverage systems if adequately buffered. Your RTD functional beverages deliver shelf-stable, Instagrammable colours that customers relate to health and vitality.

Cosmetic formulators love its antioxidant ORAC levels for anti-aging serums and lip tints. It’s a substance that will enable you to make colour cosmetic and skin health claims on the same label, making your marketing story easier.

FAQ

Q: What is the recommended storage condition?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. Refrigeration extends shelf life beyond standard 12-month specifications.

Q: Is it pH-sensitive in application?

A: Yes, optimal color stability occurs at pH 4.0–5.0. Alkaline conditions above pH 7.0 cause noticeable color fading within hours.

Q: What is the typical shelf life?

A: 12 months for powder when sealed and stored properly. Heat-sealed foil pouches maximize stability.

Q: Is it heat-stable for baking and pasteurization?

A: Moderate stability exists below 60°C. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures accelerates betanin degradation, reducing color intensity.

Q: What is the recommended usage dosage?

A: Typically 0.05–0.3% depending on desired color intensity. Beverage applications often use lower rates than confectionery products.

Q: Is it suitable for vegan and allergen-free products?

A: Absolutely. It's 100% plant-derived, vegan-friendly, and free from the top 8 allergens, supporting inclusive product positioning.

Q: Does it contain nitrates?

A: Yes, beetroot naturally contains beneficial dietary nitrates. Low-nitrate grades are available upon request for restricted applications.

Q: Is there any off-taste or odor?

A: Mild characteristic beetroot flavor is present in standard grades. Deodorized versions eliminate this for flavor-sensitive formulations.
