Frequently Asked Questions
What gives beetroot powder its colour, and is it stable in food applications?
The deep red-maroon colour comes from betacyanins and betaxanthins — water-soluble betalain pigments. Stability is pH- and heat-dependent: betacyanins are most stable at pH 4–6 and temperatures below 80°C. For cold beverages, the colour is highly stable. For high-temperature applications such as baking, some colour shift is expected. We recommend stability testing in your specific application conditions before full-scale formulation.
Can beetroot powder be used as a clean-label natural food colourant?
Yes. Beetroot powder is a permitted natural food colour under FSSAI regulations and is widely accepted in clean-label formulations in the EU, UK, Middle East, and North American markets. It provides a red to pink hue depending on application pH and concentration. Declare as 'Beetroot Powder' on ingredient lists — no E-number required in most markets.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis with each shipment?
Yes. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is provided with every shipment, covering the standard quality parameters listed under product specifications.
How should the powder be stored after delivery?
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep packaging sealed when not in use and follow FIFO stock rotation.
