Highly concentrated natural food pigments optimized for heat stability, shelf lifespan, and clean-label compliance across US food industries.
The food and beverage industry in the United States is undergoing a seismic paradigm shift. The reliance on synthetic colorants—specifically FD&C Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, and Yellow No. 6—is rapidly declining. This shift is driven not only by shifting consumer sentiment toward "clean label" and health-conscious alternatives but also by stringent regional regulatory updates such as the California Food Safety Act (Assembly Bill 418), which prohibits specific synthetic ingredients.
Consequently, American manufacturers of confectionery, dairy products, bakery goods, and functional beverages are racing to reformulate. Finding natural colorants that match the tinting power, pH range stability, thermal resistance, and shelf longevity of synthetics remains a primary industrial challenge. As a specialized global supplier, Shanxi Kawsana Health Co., Ltd. provides precision-engineered botanical extracts and organic coloring agents designed to navigate these high-stakes manufacturing needs.
Our natural pigments are sourced from plant species containing anthocyanins, carotenoids, betalains, and chlorophyllins. We employ state-of-the-art cold-extraction and micro-milling technologies to protect the structural integrity of color pigments, ensuring they survive U.S. pasteurization, baking, extrusion, and extended storage timelines without premature fading.
Our botanical ingredients fall under FDA Title 21 CFR Part 73, allowing smooth import, labeling, and regulatory approval for US food brands.
Eliminating clean-label barriers to support the consumer shift toward plant-based, non-GMO, and allergen-free dietary profiles.
A closer look at the key drivers shaping the demand for botanical food ingredients and clean-label extracts across major international markets.
Projected compound annual growth rate of natural color solutions in the U.S. food market from 2024 to 2030.
Extensive international shipping, export capability, customs compliance, and supply chain security.
Modernized plant extract facilities featuring high-capacity spray drying and mechanical purification.
Rigorous seed-to-powder batch documentation and analytical verification for global quality compliance.
Overcoming the limitations of natural pigment chemistry using modern food science and encapsulation technologies.
Protecting delicate compounds (like anthocyanins and phycocyanin) from heat degradation, oxidation, and low pH levels during demanding food processing cycles.
Standardizing pigment strength across batches using mechanical concentration curves to ensure consistent, repeatable coloring performance in industrial recipes.
Utilizing high-purity water and green ethanol solvents to eliminate toxic chemical residue, aligning with both USDA Organic standards and strict heavy metal limits.
Confectionery and Baking: Baking demands intense thermal resistance. Our natural red fermented rice powders and beet root colorants are optimized to survive oven temperatures exceeding 350°F (175°C) without shifting to off-brown tones. They are ideal for clean-label velvet cakes, frosted pastries, and chocolate fillings.
Beverages and Acidic Formulations: Many natural red colors undergo a severe blue-shift under low pH environments. Our stabilized purple sweet potato extract color preserves its vibrant red-to-purple hue down to a pH of 3.0, making it an excellent fit for carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, and flavored waters.
Baking and Frosting Solutions: Our premium fruit and vegetable powders (including pumpkin, sweet potato, and strawberry) deliver both eye-catching color shades and natural flavor profiles. These water-soluble and dispersible powders disperse quickly in fats and starches for smooth, clump-free frosting and doughs.

Essential guidance on importing, formulating, and utilizing plant-based coloring pigments in compliance with U.S. regulations.
Yes. All of our natural botanical color pigments and fruit/vegetable concentrates belong to the category "exempt from certification" under FDA Title 21 CFR Part 73. Unlike synthetic dyes (FD&C), these colors do not require individual batch testing by the FDA before import or product manufacturing.
We standardize our extracts by measuring color strength (such as E1% value) using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Standardizing the pigment concentration ensures that industrial food processing plants achieve identical coloring results from every shipment, avoiding issues with off-color batches.
When stored in an airtight container under cool (below 20°C / 68°F), dry conditions away from direct sunlight, our powders maintain their color strength for 24 months. For highly heat-sensitive pigments, we recommend refrigeration or climate-controlled warehousing.
Yes. Our 600-square-meter R&D center provides custom formulation services. We can blend natural pigments to achieve specific primary or secondary color targets (like custom greens, oranges, or dark purples) optimized for your specific food matrix, pH level, and manufacturing process.
