Butterfly Pea Flower Extract Powder
Butterfly Pea Flower Extract Powder
Natural Anthocyanin-Derived Color · Water-Soluble Powder · cGMP Certified · Clean-Label Colorant
Butterfly Pea Flower Extract (Clitoria ternatea) is a natural colorant standardized to E30 color value, derived from the vibrant blue-purple flowers. The color is primarily attributed to anthocyanins, which enable a unique pH-responsive color spectrum — brilliant blue in neutral pH, shifting to purple and vibrant pink as acidity increases. This extract is permanently listed by the FDA as a color additive exempt from certification under 21 CFR §73.69 and approved for an expanded range of food applications including ready-to-eat cereals, crackers, snack mixes, hard pretzels, chips, and beverages. Non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free. Ideal for clean-label foods, beverages, confectionery, and functional products.
