The present invention is directed towards natural colorants comprising a material selected from the group consisting of genipin, purified genipin, pre-genipin compounds, iridoid compounds, genipin deriviatives, a genipin-containing substance, and combinations of any thereof; and a primary amine containing compound. Processes of making natural colorants are further disclosed. Additionally, processes of producing a desired color of natural colorants are disclosed.

Natural colorants and processes of making same

A method of preparing genipin-rich materials from the fruit of Genipa americana fruit for their use as a cross-linking agent and as a raw material to produce colors is disclosed. The genipin-rich materials can be used in a broad range of applications including personal care, cosmetics, dietary supplements, packaging, textiles, beverages, foodstuffs, drugs, and animal feeds.

Genipin-rich material and its use

A method of preparing colored products from edible materials comprises processing Genipa americana fruit juice, which contains genipin, genipin derivatives, or pre-genipin compounds, with other edible juices or extracts which contain nitrogenous compounds such as amino acids, polypeptides, or proteins. The generated natural colored products have excellent stability and can be used in a broad range of applications including beverages, foodstuffs, drugs, dietary supplements, cosmetics, personal care stuffs, and animal feeds.
