Juice-based beverages generally have relatively high levels of sugar and a low pH which favors the growth of some spore-forming bacteria (e.g. Alicyclobacillus). Additionally, natural colors such as anthocyanins (natural red-purple) are unstable sensitive to pH, temperature, and light, which will cause the reduction of color intensity or color change.
Fixolor™ AT is a unique and natural ferment of sugar cane containing Lactic Acid, specially designed to stabilize natural colors (anthocyanins) and to control Alicyclobacillus in juice-based beverages.
Fixolor™ AT - Effective color and microbial stabilizer
