Gardenia blue is a natural colorant derived from the fruit of the Gardenia jasminoides Ellis plant, which is known for its ability to produce a spectrum of colors. The blue pigment is created through a complex process involving the interaction of the gardenia fruit extract with other natural components, often including amino acids or enzymes. The main colorant compound in gardenia blue is primarily genipin and its derivatives, which are responsible for the blue coloration.
