Cacao color is made by pickling and washing the outer skin of the cacao fruit of the Sycamore family, extracted with an alkaline aqueous solution, filtered, and refined. It is a natural colorant and food coloring, which has good antioxidant properties and good nutritional supplementation effects on the added foods. Its main component is polyflavonoid glycosides.

Physical Properties & Stability

The product is brown powder, and odorless. Soluble in water and ethanol solution, the aqueous solution is chocolate in color. It is stable under near-neutral conditions, the color of the solution deepens with the increase of medium pH, and the red degree is stronger when the pH value is above 5.5, and the yellow-orange color is stronger when the pH value is below 5.5, but the natural color of the chocolate remains unchanged. It is easy to fade in the case of a reducing agent. It has strong heat resistance, light resistance, and oxidation resistance.

Safety & Versatile Applications

The test results showed that cacao color is very safe. Cacao color has strong colorability to starch and protein, and has oxidation resistance, good heat resistance, and does not change color when used in baked foods. Good light resistance makes it no change in ultraviolet irradiation. Almost not affected by oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide and bleaching powder, but it is easy to fade in the case of reducing agents. The products are relatively stable in the process of storage and food processing. It is suitable for dyeing starch and protein foods. Nowadays, it is widely used in carbonated drinks, candies, prepared wines, ice cream, biscuits, medicine, and other fields.

We look forward to establishing closer cooperation with you and let us work together for a better future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cacao color and how is it sourced?

Cacao color is a natural food colorant made by pickling and washing the outer skin of the cacao fruit of the Sycamore family. It is then extracted using an alkaline aqueous solution, filtered, and refined. Its main component is polyflavonoid glycosides.

How does pH affect the stability and appearance of cacao color?

Cacao color is stable under near-neutral conditions. The solution's color deepens as pH increases. Specifically, it shows a stronger red degree when the pH value is above 5.5, and a stronger yellow-orange color when the pH is below 5.5, while keeping the natural chocolate color unchanged.

Is cacao color resistant to heat and light processing?

Yes, cacao color features strong heat resistance, light resistance, and oxidation resistance. It does not change color when used in baked foods and shows no change under ultraviolet irradiation. It is also highly stable during standard food processing and storage.

What are the primary food and industrial applications of cacao color?

Due to its strong colorability to starch and protein, cacao color is widely used in baking, carbonated drinks, candies, prepared wines, ice cream, biscuits, medicine, and various other food-dyeing fields.

Does cacao color react with oxidants or reducing agents?

Cacao color is highly resistant to oxidants like hydrogen peroxide and bleaching powder. However, it is sensitive to reducing agents, which can cause the color to fade easily.
