APPLE GREEN DYE
 Apple Green Dye is a synthetic or natural colorant that imparts a vibrant, bright green hue resembling the skin of a fresh green apple. It is available in various forms including powders, liquids, and granules, and can be water-soluble or oil-dispersible depending on its chemical base. This dye is widely used across multiple industries including cosmetics, food and beverage, textiles, and industrial applications to achieve consistent and stable green coloration.
It offers excellent light and heat stability, and when formulated correctly, maintains its brightness across a range of pH levels. Apple Green Dye can be derived from certified colorants for safe use in consumables or from synthetic sources for industrial applications.
