ROHA’s Sustainable Carmine Alternatives: Customizable, Vegan, Natural, and Stable Solutions

As the industry grapples with the challenges posed by Carmine—such as supply volatility, environmental concerns, and rising costs—the demand for sustainable alternatives has never been higher. At DKSH Performance Materials, we are proud to collaborate with ROHA to offer high-quality, customizable solutions that can replace Carmine in food, beverages, and cosmetics.

 

ROHA’s innovative alternatives are designed to meet specific needs for color intensity and stability across a variety of applications. These solutions help deliver vibrant red and pink shades while being vegan, sustainable, natural, and kosher & halal certified. Additionally, they offer an economical option for businesses looking to balance quality with cost.

 

Extracted from grape skins, elderberries, red cabbage, and other anthocyanin-rich plants, these water-soluble pigments deliver a spectrum of red to purple hues. They boast excellent heat and light stability and are stable within a pH range of 2-7. This makes them ideal for beverages, jams, confectionery, and more.

 

Sourced from carefully selected fresh red beetroots, ROHA’s Red Beet Concentrate undergoes pasteurization through a physical process to ensure high stability under heat. It is perfect for baked goods and processed foods, maintaining its color integrity across a pH range of 3-8.

 

A staple in both medicinal and culinary traditions, Elderberry Extract offers a range of hues from pink to deep purple. Known for its excellent stability in heat and light, this pigment is effective across a pH range of 2.4-4.5, making it a perfect choice for beverages, sorbets, and fruit-based products.

 

Paprika Carotenoids deliver a rich orange color with excellent heat stability and moderate light stability. This pigment enhances cheese, snacks, processed meats, and spice blends, providing both a striking color and an aromatic flavor profile.
