Frequently Asked Questions

What is the taste profile of BSTBIO's Butterfly Pea Powder? Will it affect my product's flavor?
Our Butterfly Pea Powder has a very mild, subtly earthy, and tea-like flavor. At the typical usage levels required for vibrant coloring (e.g., 0.1% - 0.5%), it generally does not impact the primary taste profile of the final product, such as a sweet latte or a citrus beverage.
How stable is the blue color during processing, like heating or baking?
The color is an anthocyanin, which is naturally pH-sensitive. It is relatively stable under moderate heat conditions typical for baking and preparing hot beverages. However, like most natural colorants, prolonged exposure to high heat or direct UV light can lead to some color degradation. We recommend conducting tests in your specific product matrix for best results.
Is this powder truly water-soluble?
While it is technically a fine powder dispersion rather than a true solute, our ultra-fine 450 mesh grind ensures it disperses exceptionally well in water and other liquids. It creates a uniform, vibrant color without clumping or settling quickly, behaving like a soluble ingredient in most applications.
What is the recommended dosage for achieving a good color?
The usage level depends entirely on the desired color intensity and the application. As a starting point, we recommend: For light shades (e.g., in baking): 0.1% - 0.5% of total weight. For vibrant beverages (e.g., lattes, cocktails): 1-3 grams per serving. We always advise starting with a small amount and adjusting to achieve your target shade.
What quality documentation do you provide with an order?
As your trusted manufacturer and supplier, BSTBIO is committed to transparency. Every shipment is accompanied by a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA). We can also provide a comprehensive Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Allergen Statement, and other compliance documents upon request to support your quality assurance team.
