FAQs:

Q: Is Natural Pink Beetroot Powder (0.35% Betanin, Water Soluble) approved for food and cosmetic use in the US? A: Yes, absolutely. Our Natural Pink Beetroot Powder, derived from Beta vulgaris (CI 75810), is FDA-approved as a color additive for foods, beverages, cosmetics, and drugs in the United States. It is exempt from certification, meaning it has met the necessary regulatory standards for safe use in these applications.

Q: What does “water soluble” mean for this beetroot powder? A: “Water soluble” means that this specialized beetroot extract powder readily and completely dissolves in water, creating a uniform, vibrant pink solution without any clumping or visible particles. This is a significant advantage over raw beetroot powder, which can sometimes have dispersion issues in aqueous formulations.

Q: How does the “0.35% Betanin” assay impact its use? A: The “0.35% Betanin” assay indicates that the powder is standardized to contain a consistent concentration of the active pink coloring compound. This ensures predictable and reproducible color strength and efficacy, allowing for precise dosing and vibrant results in your formulations, especially when compared to unstandardized natural powders.

Q: What are the primary applications for this Natural Pink Beetroot Powder? A: This versatile powder is ideal for coloring a wide range of FDA-regulated products, including food and beverages (e.g., drinks, confectionery, dairy products), cosmetics (e.g., soaps, lotions, lip balms), and pharmaceuticals (e.g., tablet coatings, capsules). Its water solubility makes it highly adaptable for many liquid and semi-liquid formulations.

Q: How should I store this Natural Pink Beetroot Powder to maintain its color and quality? A: To preserve its vibrant pink color and solubility, store the Natural Pink Beetroot Powder in its tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Beetroot pigments are somewhat sensitive to prolonged light and high heat, so opaque packaging and optimal storage conditions are crucial to maintain its quality and typical shelf life of 12-24 months.
