Product Overview
Gardenia Yellow is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment derived from mature gardenia fruit. Its primary coloring molecules are crocin (crocin I, II, III) and crocetin — chemically identical to the prized carotenoids in saffron.
Directly from our gardenia yellow natural food color China factory, Mingnan Bio controls the entire supply chain from raw fruit harvesting to membrane refinement. As a certified China natural food color manufacturer, we strictly control geniposide bitterness (<1.0%) for maximum color stability and clean label compliance.
Cultivated on Mingnan Bio farms
Instant dissolution without alcohol
Color value 540 (mass) / 630 (custom)
100% plant-derived carotenoid
100% Self-Owned Farm-to-Factory Integration
Our gardenia plantation is 100% owned and managed by Mingnan Bio in China. Through standardized agricultural and quality management, we exert maximum control over pesticide residues. Before every shipment, we attach a batch-specific pesticide residue test report issued by an authoritative third-party testing laboratory. In our factory, extraction uses exclusively food-grade ethanol solvent.

Application Technology
Gardenia Yellow is ideal for beverages, bakery, confectionery, noodles, and jellies. Our application engineers provide dosage calculation and stability testing for your specific matrix.
Unlike anthocyanins which change color with pH, Crocin in Gardenia Yellow maintains a vibrant golden-yellow hue across both acidic beverage systems and alkaline noodle matrices.
Exhibits superior heat retention during baking, extrusion, pasteurization, and boiling. No precipitation or cloudiness in beverage liquids.
