Natural Beet Red E162: Plant-Based Water Soluble Colorant for Global Industrial Manufacturing
Product Overview & Standard Parameters
Beet Red, coded E162 for international industrial application, is a high-security natural plant pigment refined from red beet root extracts. Its core functional component is betanin, corresponding to the standard CAS 659-95-2. This water-soluble colorant features vivid red to purple-red hues, ultra-high water solubility and excellent formula compatibility. Unlike synthetic colorants with chemical additives, Beet Red is purely plant-derived, non-toxic and environmentally degradable, fully conforming to modern global green production and clean-label product standards.
As a comprehensive one-stop chemical manufacturing enterprise, Shandong Hualu Hengsheng Chemical focuses on the production and export of high-standard Beet Red. Our product lineup covers food grade, cosmetic grade and pharmaceutical grade, available in powder and liquid forms. The Beet Red powder is uniform and free-flowing without agglomeration, while the liquid product is transparent and pure with stable color intensity. All products strictly control impurity content and color stability, ensuring consistent performance of each batch, which is widely recognized by international bulk buyers.
Industrial Status & Market Growth Drivers
The global natural colorant industry is undergoing a comprehensive transformation, replacing synthetic chemical pigments with plant-based raw materials. Strict food safety regulations in Europe, America and other regions, coupled with booming consumer demand for organic and additive-free products, have become the core driving force for the rapid development of the Beet Red market. As a classic natural red pigment, Beet Red has mild chemical properties, wide application range and high cost performance, occupying a pivotal position in the natural pigment market.
In terms of industrial segmentation, food processing is the largest downstream market for Beet Red, including beverages, confectionery, baked foods and dairy products. The personal care and cosmetic industry is the fastest-growing application field, as more beauty brands abandon synthetic pigments and choose plant-derived Beet Red to develop vegan and sensitive-skin-friendly products. In addition, the application of Beet Red in pharmaceutical auxiliary coloring and high-grade feed processing is also expanding continuously, further broadening the global market demand boundary.

The automated closed production line ensures no external pollution during processing, realizing green and efficient production.
A complete full-process quality inspection system is implemented for all finished Beet Red products. We strictly test core indicators such as solubility, color value, moisture content, heavy metal content and microbial safety. All products meet international authoritative standards including FCC and EU E162. Meanwhile, we support personalized customization of product concentration, particle fineness and packaging specifications, providing one-stop industrial raw material solutions for global customers.
Diversified Industrial Application Fields
Industrial-grade Beet Red has strong scenario adaptability. Food-grade products are used for natural coloring of various leisure foods, drinks and preserved fruits, with no peculiar smell and no impact on food shelf life. Cosmetic-grade Beet Red is widely used in natural skin care and color cosmetics, featuring mild properties and no skin irritation. Pharmaceutical-grade products are applied for auxiliary coloring of oral preparations, meeting high-standard medical safety requirements. Moreover, high-quality Beet Red can also be used as a natural nutritional colorant in premium animal feed to enhance product commercial value.
