Product source and process advantage
Plant source:
Raw material: Flower buds of Clitoria ternatea L., mainly produced in Chiang Mai, Thailand and the tropical areas of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China.
Production process: Ultrafine grinding technology (80-450 mesh) is used to retain the activity of natural anthocyanins, without chemical additions, and in line with FDA regulations on natural food pigments.
Quality certification:
ISO 9001/HACCP certification:；
China National Health Commission’s new food ingredient approval (2023)
Heavy metal detection (lead ≤ 2ppm, arsenic ≤ 2ppm) and microbial indicators (total colony count ≤ 10,000 cfu/g).
Scientific definition and core ingredients
Butterfly pea flower powder is a natural blue powder made by physically crushing the dried buds of butterfly pea flowers. CAS number: N/A. The core ingredients include:
Anthocyanins: Content ≥10%, giving the product pH sensitivity (acidic to purple, alkaline to blue)
Vitamin group: Vitamin A (antioxidant), C (immune support), E (skin protection)
Antioxidant network: ORAC value reaches 8,500 μmol TE/g, and its free radical scavenging efficiency is 5 times that of vitamin C.
Verified efficacies
Food coloring and nutritional fortification
▶ Natural blue pigment: suitable for beverages, baked goods, smoothies, etc., bright blue above pH 3.8, and purple in acidic environments;
▶ Replacement of synthetic pigments: In line with the clean label trend, the FDA approved butterfly pea flower water extract as a food pigment additive in 2021.
Health and beauty support
▶ Antioxidant: Inhibit lipid peroxidation and delay skin photoaging (clinical results show that wrinkles are reduced by 22%)
▶ Immunomodulation: Enhance NK cell activity and reduce the risk of infection
Innovative application expansion
▶ Skin care products: 1-3% added to facial masks or essences to promote collagen synthesis (transdermal absorption rate increased by 60%)
▶ Functional food: Compounded with probiotics to regulate intestinal flora (Increase the abundance of lactic acid bacteria by 30%)
