- Also known as
- CI 16185
- CI Food Red 9
Amaranth supplier for food, beverage, nutraceutical and colour-preparation buyers in Malaysia. This page covers the synthetic red colourant identified as CI 16185 and CI Food Red 9, not amaranth grain, seed oil, sprouts or botanical extracts.
Commercial requirements include red to dark red powder or granules for dry handling and dissolution, plus aqueous liquid preparations for metered dosing. Buyers should define colour strength, shade, dissolution behaviour and any carrier restrictions rather than selecting on the Amaranth name alone.

Send the CI 16185 identity, physical form, colour strength, shade target, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available technical documentation, quotation validity and delivery timing are confirmed for the offered grade.

Common questions about Amaranth colourant
Does this Amaranth page refer to grain, seed oil or a food colourant?
It refers only to the synthetic red colourant identified as CI 16185 and CI Food Red 9. Amaranth grain, seed oil, sprouts and Amaranthus plant species are separate botanical products and are not aliases or grades of this colourant.
Are CI 16185 and CI Food Red 9 names for Amaranth colourant?
Yes. They are Colour Index identifiers for the same Amaranth colourant identity covered by this page. The physical form, colour strength and application grade still need to be stated in the enquiry.
Should I request Amaranth powder or a liquid colour preparation?
Powder or granules suit dry handling and on-site dissolution, while a liquid preparation supports metered wet dosing. Equipment, required colour strength, carrier restrictions and storage practice determine the appropriate form.
What specifications matter when buying Amaranth colourant?
Buyers should define CI 16185 identity, colour strength, shade, appearance, solubility or dissolution needs, controlled impurities and any carrier limits for a liquid preparation. State the intended formulation and document list.
Can Amaranth be used in every food or beverage formulation?
Application suitability depends on the finished product and applicable requirements, so the intended market and formulation must be reviewed by the buyer. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
How are Amaranth packing and documentation confirmed?
Packing and available documents depend on powder, granulated or liquid form, colour strength, quantity and destination. The quotation states the offered pack, documentation, delivery route, timing and commercial validity.
