How to Use Beetroot Powder

Incorporating our beetroot powder into your products is simple and versatile:

1. Dosage Determination: For coloring: start with 0.5-2% by weight. For nutritional enhancement: 5-10% by weight.
2. Rehydration (if needed): For liquid applications, pre-mix with a small amount of water to create a paste before adding to the main batch.
3. Mixing: Add directly to dry mixes or incorporate into wet ingredients. For best dispersion, blend with other dry ingredients first.
4. pH Consideration: The color is stable across a wide pH range (pH 3-7), with brightest reds appearing at pH 4-5.
5. Heat Processing: Add after heat treatment when possible to preserve color and nutrients. If cooking is necessary, keep temperatures below 85°C when possible.
6. Synergistic Formulations: Combines well with other food additives like Psyllium Husk Powder for enhanced fiber content or Table Stevia Sweetener Powder to balance natural earthiness.
