Galdieria Blue Extract
Coming Soon! Galdieria blue extract is a phycocyanin-rich natural blue color, similiar to spirulina. It is created via fermentation followed by a simple water extraction from the microalgae Galdieria sulphuraria. Because of the microalgae’s natural environment, the color produced is more acid stable than spirulina, allowing it to be used in a wider range of applications. It is well suited for beverages and other acidic applications like gummies and hard candies. It also has good heat and light stability, allowing for more flexibility with processing and packaging than when using spirulina

Spirulina
Spirulina extract is a vibrant natural blue color. It is a water-soluble phycocyanin color that is gently extracted from a blue-green algae that is specifically cultivated for its color. Spirulina extract works great for applications like confections, ice cream, frozen novelties, and dry-mix beverages that are neutral in pH and are not subjected to high heat for long periods of time. It also performs best in applications that have opaque packaging so it is protected from light. Certified Organic Spirulina is available.
