Our Applications

At Synthite, we have the capability to produce natural green color from various plant sources. One of our primary sources is alfalfa, a perennial green-leafed plant known for its high chlorophyll content - the pigment responsible for the green color in leaves. 

Using advanced extraction technology, we carefully process and standardize the chlorophyll from alfalfa to create both oil-soluble and water-dispersible versions, providing versatile options for different applications. This meticulous process ensures a high-quality, natural green color suitable for a wide range of uses.

The colour orange radiates warmth, vitality, and a sense of wholesome energy. At Synthite, we craft this vibrant hue from three trusted natural sources: Annatto, Paprika, and Beta-Carotene - each selected for their unique properties and performance across diverse food applications.

Annatto: derived from the seeds of the Bixa Orellana plant, offers a warm yellow-orange tone. Valued for its mild flavor and colour stability, annatto is widely used in dairy, snacks, and sauces. Synthite provides both oil- and water-soluble formats to suit varied processing needs.

Paprika: extracted from capsicum peppers, delivers a rich reddish-orange hue with exceptional heat and light stability. Ideal for savory products like seasonings, processed meats, and sauces, our paprika extract is deodorized and formulated to retain colour intensity under demanding conditions.

Beta-Carotene: brings a bright, pure orange with added antioxidant benefits. Its versatility makes it perfect for beverages, dairy, and baked goods, offering both functional and visual appeal.

Every pigment is carefully sourced and processed in line with Synthite’s commitment to quality, stability, and natural innovation. From bold orange hues to subtle golden tones, our plant-based colour solutions bring visual impact and clean-label appeal to your culinary creations.

At Synthite, we offer a range of yellow pigments derived from natural botanical sources, primarily safflower, marigold, and turmeric. Each of these sources provides unique properties in terms of color hue, stability, and application suitability, allowing us to tailor our yellow pigments to meet specific customer requirements. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs in terms of color hue, application, and stability requirements. Depending on these factors, we recommend the optimal botanical source and processing technique to achieve the desired yellow pigment profile. Our expertise in natural color extraction allows us to fine-tune the hue, intensity, and stability of each pigment, ensuring it aligns with customer expectations and application demands.

This approach enables us to provide consistent, high-quality yellow pigments that are both visually appealing and aligned with the latest industry standards in natural color solutions.

Turmeric : Also known for its distinctive curcumin pigment, which provides a bright, yellow-orange hue. Curcumin is suitable for both water and oil-based applications, depending on the formulation and processing. As it also has notable health benefits, turmeric is a popular choice for products aimed at wellness-conscious consumers. We often suggest turmeric for clients looking to incorporate both vibrant color and functional benefits.

Safflower: Safflower petals are rich in yellow pigments, specifically carthamin, a water-soluble colorant. Safflower-derived yellow is a vibrant, warm shade ideal for applications where a soft, natural yellow hue is desired. We recommend this option for customers seeking a mild yellow tone in water-based applications, such as beverages and confectioneries.

Marigold: Marigold flowers produce lutein, a potent yellow pigment. This pigment is suitable for applications where a strong, saturated yellow is required, particularly in oil-based formulations or products needing a bold color and we can offer water dispersible marigold extract as well.
