Description
Gardenia Yellow is a natural colorant extracted from the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Cape Jasmine) through modern extraction, purification, and spray-drying processes. It is obtained as an orange-yellow to reddish-orange powder with excellent coloring properties and stability. As a safe, plant-based pigment, it is widely used in food and beverage products in Japan, Korea, and other international markets.
