With pure natural health care effect, no peculiar smell, strong dyeing ability, good resistance to light and heat. Under acidic aqueous conditions, it is purple and its color is stable.
This water-soluble compound exhibits vivid color changes based on pH, making them valuable for food, beverage, candy, and more. Because pH alters anthocyanins' molecular structure, it changes light absorption and color. The color degrades under heat, light, or oxygen, while it stabilizes by acids (e.g., lemon juice) or antioxidants.
