With the increasing health awareness of consumers, natural ingredients have become an important consideration in food purchases, especially after the health risks of synthetic colors have attracted attention, and the demand for natural colors has increased significantly. Monascus yellow, a traditional pigment derived from nature, is becoming a popular choice in the food industry.

Derived from ancient natural pigments

Monascus yellow pigment is derived from monascus rice, a product of fermentation by Monascus mold, which carries a thousand-year history and has a long reputation in the field of traditional food production and traditional Chinese medicine. Today, the natural colors in red yeast rice are being reborn in the modern food industry. Its extraction process is simple, and after extraction and refining by water or ethanol solvent, it can be applied to all kinds of food processing, and avoids the potential health risks of chemically synthesized colors by virtue of its natural properties.

Diverse application areas

Monascus yellow pigment is widely used in meat products, pastries, moon cakes, beverages, jellies and other foods to add attractive color. With the rise of healthy green products, their application fields continue to expand, and gradually penetrate into the health care products and cosmetics industries, becoming an important element of brand building natural image.

Three significant advantages

Natural and safe: Derived from natural raw materials, no chemical additives, in line with food safety and green food standards, deeply trusted by consumers.

Stable color: It can give food a bright golden or orange color, and maintain good stability in different environments to ensure a consistent appearance of the product.

Versatile: Red Yeast Rice contains natural antioxidants that delay oxidation and extend shelf life of foods, while providing additional health benefits.

Broad market prospects

With the rising consumer demand for natural health products, the prospects for monascus yellow pigment in the global market are improving. In the field of food and health products, natural colorants are gradually becoming the mainstream of the industry. With its natural harmlessness and multiple advantages, monascus yellow pigment is expected to occupy a larger market share in the future. In addition, with the promotion of green food policies and the enhancement of consumers' awareness of environmental protection, enterprises using monascus yellow pigment are more likely to gain market recognition.

With its natural, safe and stable characteristics, monascus yellow pigment not only adds color to food, but also fits the trend of healthy consumption. For food companies, the selection of monascus yellow pigment not only conforms to the market trend, but also helps to establish a green and healthy brand image and grasp the development opportunities in the wave of growing demand for natural food.
