Beetroot Powder

Product Overview

The application of beetroot powder as a natural pigment in pet food mainly lies in its ability to provide vivid coloring (presenting stable blue-red color at pH 4-5) and excellent thermal/light stability (performing better under low-temperature storage). As a result, it has become a popular alternative to synthetic pigments and aligns with consumers' preference for plant-based ingredients.

Product Introduction

Beetroot powder is the primary natural source of deep red and purple tones in pet food. It has strong coloring power and rich colors, making it suitable for products such as dry food granules, pet ham sausages, and functional wet food that require high-visibility colors. During processing, it is less affected by temperature and humidity, allowing the product color to remain stable for a long time. Even when mixed with meat ingredients, it is not prone to fading. When used as a pigment, it can either give the product a distinct red color alone or be combined with light-colored pigments to adjust the color scale, balancing both visual effect and the natural ingredient positioning.
