Natural Food Colors for Food and Beverage Manufacturers
Zhongda is a China-based manufacturer of natural food colors, natural sweeteners and plant extracts. We supply water-soluble and oil-soluble natural colors — gardenia yellow, radish red, paprika, spirulina blue, carmine and cabbage red — to dairy, bakery, confectionery, beverage and meat producers across Europe, the Americas, Australia and Southeast Asia.
Natural food colors are pigments obtained from plants, algae, minerals or insects and used to color food and beverages in place of synthetic dyes. Zhongda manufactures them as powder and liquid — gardenia yellow, radish red, paprika red, spirulina blue, carmine, cabbage red and beetroot red — and supplies a COA, TDS and specification sheet for every lot. Most grades are water-soluble; oil-soluble and microencapsulated versions are available for fat-based and heat-processed applications.
Buyers qualify a color supplier on documents rather than claims. Every Zhongda shipment is supported by a certificate of analysis, a technical data sheet and, where required, allergen, GMO and country-of-origin statements.
