Food Grade Ube Powder (Purple Yam Powder) Anthocyanin Purple for Baking, Latte & Ice Cream
Ube Powder (Purple Yam Powder)
A purple fine powder milled from the tuber of Dioscorea alata, the true purple yam. Both the color and the taste come from the yam itself: anthocyanin pigments supply the purple shade, and the signature ube flavor needs no added flavoring. Standardized to 80–100 mesh for even blending into batters, drinks and dry mixes, food grade, and packed with a per-batch COA. Minimum order 1 kg.

Formulation Features
Bake-Stable Purple
The acylated anthocyanins carried by Dioscorea alata hold their shade through baking, pasteurization and extrusion, so the purple does not fade to brown in the finished goods.
Smooth, Grit-Free Body
The tuber’s natural mucilaginous polysaccharides create a silky dispersion that resists quick sedimentation, supporting a clean label without added stabilizers.
Flavor Comes With the Color
A mild, creamy, nutty-vanilla note arrives with the pigment, so one ingredient covers both roles and no separate flavoring has to be declared.
Neutral pH Comfort Zone
With a 1% solution pH of 5.5–7.0, the powder sits comfortably in dairy, bakery and beverage systems without the rapid color drift of more pH-sensitive natural pigments.
Applications
Bakery & Confectionery
Ube cakes, chiffon rolls, breads, cookies, donuts and pastries, where a purple crumb and an earthy-sweet note are wanted. Typical use 2%–5% of total flour weight.
Beverages, Latte & Bubble Tea
Ube latte, milk tea, smoothies and instant drink powders, pairing with dairy, oat or coconut bases. Typical use 1–3 g per 250 ml serving.
Ice Cream, Yogurt & Frozen Dessert
Ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt and puddings that need a smooth, grit-free purple swirl. Typical use 3%–7% of total mix.
Instant Mixes, Premixes & Snacks
Pancake and waffle premixes, drink kits, mochi, dessert fillings and extruded snacks. Typical use 5%–8% of formulation.
Private-Label & OEM Lines
Mesh size, blended formulations and private-label packing can be tailored for brands building their own ube bakery, beverage or natural-color range.
