Grape Skin Extract - Natural Food Colouring

From ALVINESA

For decades, grape skin has been known as a source of natural red pigments. Those natural red pigments are polyphenols and belong to the anthocyanin family.

These anthocyanins, also known as grape skin extracts, are labelled E163.

Extracted from selected Spanish red grapes, the grape skin extract offerscolour shades from violet to dark red. This natural ingredient is a perfect alternative to all artificial red and pink colours for the Food and Beverage Industry.

What it is used for
Recognisedas one of the best natural food colouring ingredients, the grape skin extract is commonly used for :

Beverages (soft drinks, spirits)
Ice-cream and dairy desserts (yoghurts)
Jams and fruit preparation
Confectionery
A natural food colouring for cakes, sweets and dairy desserts, the grape also has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatoryproperties, which turns this natural colouring extract into an ideal ingredient for nutraceutical compounds and new functional food recipes.
