Manufacturing and Intended Use:
Our natural coloring matter is manufactured through aqueous maceration of ROSELLE. The chemical fermentation process creates, within the main molecule, various auxochromophores that form stable and resistant compounds. These compounds withstand sunlight, temperature changes, pH variations, and chemical attacks. The extract is then concentrated into powder via spray drying, using maltodextrin as a carrier during the drying process.
Our products are intended to be used as raw materials in food, food supplements, cosmetics, soaps, beauty creams, cleaners, nail varnishes, mascara, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. These are not finished products intended for direct consumer use.
