PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Rubixanthin is a carotenol that is a natural xanthophyll pigment. It was formerly used as a food colourant (E161d), but approval for this purpose has been withdrawn throughout the European Union. It has a role as a food colouring and a plant metabolite. It derives from a hydride of a gamma-carotene.
