Encapsulating Canthaxanthin represents a strategic advancement in optimizing the application of this oil-soluble carotenoid pigment for natural coloration in various food and beverage products. Canthaxanthin, with its characteristic orange-red color, is naturally found in foods like mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, and green algae. As a nature-identical colorant, it serves as a valuable replacement for FD&C dyes, facilitating the transition to clean labels for food marketers. However, the challenge lies in preserving the stability and consistency of Canthaxanthin, especially in applications demanding precise color shades. Encapsulation technology addresses this challenge by providing superior stability in both liquid and dry applications, ensuring excellent uniformity and consistent color shades in various food preparations. This encapsulated form not only maintains the vibrant hue of Canthaxanthin but also enhances its suitability as a natural colorant, meeting the evolving demands of clean-label products.
