Product Introduction

Safflower Yellow Color 

Manufacturer Kingherbs Limited offers pharmaceutical-grade Safflower Yellow Color that is made from the petals of the Carthamus tinctorius L. plant. The E value (E1% 1cm at 403±5nm) ranges from 50 to 200, and the HSYA content can be anywhere from 3% to 10%, as confirmed by HPLC. According to our research, our water-based extraction method dissolves 98% of the material in water at room temperature and stays stable at 105°C for two hours during industrial processing. Naturally occurring chalcone-based coloring keeps its color between pH 2.0 and 7.0, which means it can be used to make sour drinks and sweets. Kingherbs' product meets EP and FCC standards for heavy metals (Pb<2ppm, As<1ppm) and consistently performs well from batch to batch for use in food, supplements, and beauty products that need clean-label coloring solutions.

Safflower Yellow Color Benefits

We provide several formulation benefits with our natural pigment:

Clean Label Solution: This synthetic-free chemical meets customer demand for botanical colors by extracting it from water or food-grade ethanol.

Superior Processing Stability: Pasteurization and high-temperature processing up to 105°C preserve brilliant yellow color, eliminating reformulation concerns during manufacturing scale-up.

Hydroxysafflor Yellow A (HSYA) may improve healthy blood flow and vascular function at therapeutic quantities.

Its brilliant yellow hue in acidic-to-neutral settings makes it perfect for low-pH drinks, jellies, and fermented items.

Functions as a natural colorant and useful component in nutraceuticals, simplifying your ingredient deck.

Safflower Yellow Color Applications

Our Safflower Yellow Color works well in energy drinks and fizzy drinks. Its total water solubility avoids oil-soluble colorant deposition.

candies & gummies: This pigment's heat resistance helps manufacturers boil their candies. Synthetic dyes fade or react with other chemicals, yet it preserves color.

Nutritional Tablets & Capsules: Pharmaceutical companies color solid dose forms and add HSYA for cardiovascular health claims with a single substance.

Cosmetics: This plant hue gives creams and lotions natural golden tones.

FAQ

Q: What are the main clinical applications of Safflower extract?

A: It focuses on cardiovascular health, particularly cerebral blood flow, platelet aggregation, and blood viscosity. Neuroprotective and reproductive health advantages are also studied.

Q: Is Safflower extract suitable for sports nutrition products?

A: Yes. Some research suggest safflower may boost fat oxidation and workout performance. Water-soluble HSYA extract is used more for vascular health than athletic performance.

Q: What is the difference between Safflower and Saffron?

A: These botanicals vary considerably. An annual thistle-like plant, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) yields oil and flower petals. Crocus sativus, a bulbous plant, produces pricey stigmas containing crocin and safranal and many uses.

Q: Can I guarantee batch color consistency?

A: We provide HPLC chromatograms and E-values with each COA. We manage planting bases and extraction processes to reduce batch variation and maintain formulation consistency.
