Sorghum Red is a food-grade natural red food colourant extracted from sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) bran.We supply bulk Sorghum Red sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for global food and beverage producers. Our Sorghum Red is widely used in natural red food colouring, beverage colouring, bakery product colouring, confectionery colouring and meat analogue colouring. HS Code: 32030090
Sorghum Red is extracted from the bran of red/black sorghum varieties, which contain unique 3-deoxyanthocyanidins (primarily apigeninidin and luteolinidin). Unlike conventional anthocyanins, 3-deoxyanthocyanidins lack the hydroxyl group at the C-3 position.
This makes them significantly more stable to pH changes and heat. This unique chemistry makes sorghum red an emerging natural colourant for challenging food applications.
