Description, Components, Areas of Use and Safety Information

Description

Hibiscus extract, derived from Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers, is a natural colorant and antioxidant source. It is rich in anthocyanins, organic acids (hibiscic acid, malic acid, citric acid), and vitamin C. Identified with the identification numbers CAS 84775-96-2 and EC 283-920-6, hibiscus extract is also known as “parkade extract” or “roselle extract.” In the food industry, it is used primarily as a natural colorant in beverages, confectionery, and functional teas. It is also a preferred antioxidant source in food supplements and as a natural colorant and skin-friendly ingredient in cosmetics. Because it is sensitive to moisture and light, it is recommended to store it in airtight containers and in cool environments. Producers can use our extract that offers both visual appeal and health benefits.
