What bulk purple carrot formats can PFVN, Inc. supply?

PFVN, Inc. supplies bulk purple carrot ingredients in program-dependent formats including Purple Carrot Juice Concentrate, Purple Carrot NFC Juice, and Purple Carrot Powder.

Why do manufacturers use purple carrot as a natural color ingredient?

Purple carrot is often selected for its natural anthocyanin pigment system, supporting purple-to-red color expression depending on formulation and process conditions. Buyers typically validate performance in their specific pH range, heat process, and packaging/light exposure.

What should I specify when buying purple carrot concentrate or powder?

Buyers typically specify target °Brix (for liquids), pH/acidity range, color target and shade expectations at use-level, clarified vs. pulpy (where applicable), microbiological limits, carrier system and flow properties (for powders), packaging format, and storage/shelf-life targets.

Purple Carrot product overview

Purple carrot ingredients are widely used to support clean-label purple-to-red color in beverages and foods. They’re often selected for their anthocyanin pigment system, with shade and performance influenced by formulation factors (e.g., pH, process heat, light exposure, and use level). Concentrates are common for efficient dosing and logistics, NFC is chosen when a fresher “single-strength” profile is preferred, and powders are used for dry handling and low water activity systems.

Available formats

Juice Concentrate

A clarified or pulpy juice with water removed to increase soluble solids (°Brix). Often selected for color strength, dosing efficiency, and shipping/storage advantages.

What buyers specify

Target °Brix (program-dependent)
Acidity / pH range
Color target and shade expectations (at use-level)
Clarified vs. pulpy where applicable
Micro limits and shelf-life expectations

Typical applications

RTD beverages and syrups
Color + flavor bases for blending
Dairy beverages and smoothie systems
Confectionery and fillings (program-dependent)

NFC Juice

Not-From-Concentrate single-strength juice, typically chilled or frozen to help preserve a fresher sensory profile.

What buyers specify

Single-strength spec (solids, acidity)
Chilled vs. frozen logistics
Micro and shelf-life targets
Pulp level (if applicable)
Certifications (e.g., USDA Organic) where available

Typical applications

Premium beverages
Clean-label blends
Dairy and smoothie bases
Seasonal or origin-specific programs

Powder

Dehydrated ingredient (e.g., spray-dried concentrate), used when you need low water activity, dry handling, and easy incorporation into blends.

What buyers specify

Carrier system (if applicable) and flow properties
Solubility / dispersibility
Color strength and shade expectations
Moisture and micro limits
Packaging and shelf-life targets

Typical applications

Instant beverage mixes
Dry blends and nutrition systems
Bakery mixes and icings
Confectionery systems (program-dependent)
Seasoning systems and snacks

Typical specifications (what to ask for)

Specs vary by format and program; this checklist helps your team align quickly.

Parameter	How it’s typically specified
Soluble solids (°Brix)	Set per format (concentrate vs. NFC)
pH / acidity	Target range based on application and process
Color target	Shade expectations at use-level; validate in your pH range and process
Clarification / pulp	Clarified vs. pulpy where applicable; pulp level for NFC if relevant
Microbiology	Limits per program and intended use
Powder carrier system	Carrier (if applicable), flow properties, moisture target, and dispersibility
Certifications	USDA Organic / Kosher / others upon request (where available)
Packaging	Drums / totes for liquids; lined cases or bags for powders
Storage	Ambient/chilled/frozen depending on format and program

Applications

Common application paths for Purple Carrot ingredients include:

Beverages: RTD juices, lemonades, soda bases, functional drinks, beverage concentrates
Dairy: drinkable yogurt, cultured dairy beverages, frozen desserts (program-dependent)
Bakery: icings, fillings, glazes, mixes, breakfast items
Confectionery: gummies, candies, syrups, color + flavor bases (program-dependent)
Culinary: sauces and dressings where a purple/red hue is desired (program-dependent)

Tip: Share your target pH range and process (hot-fill, UHT, frozen, etc.). We can recommend the best format and a buyer-friendly spec outline.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Concentrates and NFC juices commonly ship in drums or totes. Powders typically ship in lined cases or bags for moisture protection.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on program. NFC is typically chilled or frozen. Powders are stored cool and dry per supplier guidance.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
