Paprika natural colorant is a healthy and natural option for coloring food, beverages, cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical products. Paprika is a spice obtained from dried peppers, and its color ranges from red to orange. The orange color is due to the presence of a pigment called capsanthin.
Capsanthin is the pigment responsible for the characteristic color of paprika and other foods such as tomatoes and beets. However, when mixed with other pigments present in paprika, it can result in lighter or darker orange tones.
Natural paprika colorants are used in a wide variety of products, including food, cosmetics and cleaning products. For example, they can be used to color sauces, dressings, bakery products and beverages. They are also used in beauty products such as lipstick, eye shadows, among others. As well in the pharmaceutical products where some pills are recognized by its color like a typical vitamin c pills.
