Red Cabbage Color is extracted from red cabbage leaves, which are rich in acylated cyanidin-based anthocyanins.
The remarkable pH-sensitivity of these pigments produces red (pH 9) colours, making red cabbage extract versatile for achieving different hues in food products. It has excellent heat and light stability due to anthocyanin acylation.
