Products Description
Vaccinium Oxycoccus Pigment is a natural colorant prepared from the fruit of Vaccinium oxycoccos via standardized aqueous extraction, concentration, and spray drying. The primary functional constituents are anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins (PACs), and flavonoids.
Anthocyanins provide pH‑dependent color expression (red in acidic, purple/blue in neutral‑alkaline media) and act as free‑radical scavengers to reduce oxidative degradation. Proanthocyanidins exhibit mild antimicrobial and anti‑adhesive properties. The pigment maintains stability in acidic food systems and is compatible with clean‑label formulations for food, cosmetics, and oral supplements.
