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.
Main benefits of our products
Stability and resistance, allowing a high-quality final product: The products manufactured at NATU are raw materials for the production of shelf-stable foods, resistant to color changes due to temperature, sunlight and acidity (pH), therefore extending the shelf life of the final product.
