Natural & Safe Alternative
Sorghum red color not only has good coloring properties for protein, but the color tone is close to the natural color of meat. It is purely natural and harmless to health, serving as an excellent alternative to nitrite.
Excellent Stability
The light fastness of the sorghum red color is good. Under indoor astigmatism for one month, its absorbance does not change significantly, proving its outstanding shelf life and color retention performance.
With people's increasing concern about human health, food safety has been taken seriously. Nitrite is usually added to traditional meat products as a coloring agent, which is a serious threat to human health. Sorghum red color not only has good coloring properties for protein, but the color tone is close to the natural color of meat, it has a sense of reality, and it is purely natural and harmless to health. It can be added quantitatively in enema products such as ham and sausage to achieve the ideal coloring effect. The light fastness of the sorghum red color is good. After repeated tests, the color solution was placed under the condition of indoor astigmatism for one month, and its absorbance did not change significantly, and it had a good shelf life and color retention performance.
Nowadays, it is widely used in candy, ice cream, carbonated beverages, jelly, chewing gum, frozen beverage, batter, coated powder, fried powder, seasoning, baking, etc.
We look forward to establishing closer cooperation with you and let us work together for a better future.
