Gardenia green food color is a mixture of Gardenia yellow
color with blue color obtained by using the Geniposide, which is extracted,
separated, and refined from the Gardenia fruit, to react enzymatically.
Characteristics
Outstanding food coloring properties.
Clear green color tone remains unchanged between pH4.0 ~ 7.5.
Superior heat resistance; color tone remains unchanged even if the
food color is heated for 30 minutes at 80 °C.
Light resistance is stable compared to other food colors.
Gardenia green food color is stable for metal ions, but is affected
by Fe++ (iron ion). Metal ion chelating agents such as polyphosphate
salts are effective in this case.
A variety of products is available, ranging in color from light green
to moss green.
