The Introduction of Monascus Red Colourant:

Monascus Red Colorant is a natural colorant extracted from red yeast rice using modern biotechnology, it is a natural pigment in addition to caramel pigment, natural pigment yield pigment. According to its use can be divided into oil-soluble and water-soluble two categories, of which, the water-soluble application is more widely used, high color value, natural hue, strong coloring power to protein.
The properties of erythrosine pigment
1. Acid-base stability
Monascus Red Colorant is more stable in the range of pH 4.5~12. Compared with other natural colorants, it is more stable to pH, and the hue is pure, unlike some natural pigments that change with pH.
2 Heat resistance
The color is more stable below 130℃, but over 130℃, the pigment will turn brown.
3.Light resistance
Research shows that the red red pigment is relatively stable to daily light, and the red red pigment ethanol solution is quite stable to ultraviolet light, if light preservation is more stable, several months will not change color, but in the strong direct sunlight, the color stability is weakened.
4. Oxidation and reduction resistance
Monascus Red Colorant is almost unaffected by 0.1% of hydrogen peroxide, vitamin C and sodium sulfite and other redox agents.
5. Resistance to metal ions
Monascus Red Colorant is not affected by metal ions, current research shows that: in the presence of Ca2+, Ma2+, Fe3+, Cu2+ conditions, the residual rate of its pigment are large dry 97%, this characteristic is conducive to its application in the processing of meat products, there is no need to worry about red yeast red pigment treatment of meat products in iron or copper containers fading problem.
