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.
