This product, "Monascus Red Color," is a natural red coloring agent extracted from the red yeast fungus (Monascus purpureus). As a plant-based and microbe-derived food-compatible colorant, it achieves stable coloration ranging from vibrant red to orange. It is available in both powder and liquid forms, is highly water-soluble, and is suitable for a wide range of food applications, including beverages, confections, dairy products, and fermented foods. We own and operate our own cultivation bases and contract farming areas equivalent to approximately 60,000 mu, ensuring no pesticide use, contamination management, and strict quality selection. This allows us to provide high-quality red yeast consistently from the raw material stage. Our manufacturing complies with international standards, having obtained various certifications including ISO9001, FSSC22000, FDA registration, organic certification, HALAL, and Kosher. Our quality management system is widely adopted in OEM/ODM projects by domestic and international beverage manufacturers, confectionery makers, and dairy producers. As a naturally derived colorant, Monascus Red Color is also an ideal alternative to synthetic colorants. Additionally, it can be utilized in the development of clean label and organic products, combining color stability with safety.
