Natural butterfly pea blue. A water-soluble blue natural pigment extracted from the calyx of butterfly pea flowers, safely providing a vibrant blue-purple color to food, beverages, confections, and cosmetics.
This product, "Butterfly Pea Blue," is a natural edible colorant extracted and refined from the calyx of the butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea), a leguminous plant. Its main component is anthocyanins, provided as a powder ranging from blue-purple to blue. It dissolves easily in water but is insoluble in fats and oils. The hue and stability depend on pH; under acidic to neutral conditions, it exhibits shades from purplish-red to blue-purple and blue, while under alkaline conditions, it becomes an unstable blue-green.
For food applications, it can be widely used in alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, soft drinks, confections, ice cream, pudding, noodles, canned goods, and more. There is also a track record of applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. As a naturally derived blue colorant, it is highly safe and characterized by its vibrant coloration.
