Beetroot
Red (E162)
Beetroot Red is obtained from red
table beet. It is freely soluble in water and provides an intense
red colour that is convenient to use.
It has limited stability
to heat, light and sulphur dioxide and its shelf life in finished
products may be partially determined by the water activity of the
system in which it is used. Specially formulated products are available
from Phytone that protect beetroot red from some of these limitations.
