Betanin

What Is Betanin?

Betanin, commonly known as beetroot red, is a water-soluble natural pigment extracted from the roots of red beet (Beta vulgaris). It belongs to the betalain family of pigments and is responsible for the characteristic deep red-violet color of beetroot. 

Its natural origin, excellent safety profile, and vibrant coloring ability have made it one of the most popular alternatives to synthetic red dyes in the global food industry.
