Genistein is a natural isoflavone widely found in legumes, mainly from soybean, Pueraria lobata and other plants. Its molecular formula is C15H10O5, and it has strong antioxidant properties and biological activities, and it has mature applications in the food industry, health products and pharmaceutical raw materials. In recent years, Genistein has been used in natural coloring solutions for many types of food products due to its good thermal stability and acid-base adaptability, especially for fruits and vegetables that require high color and are sensitive to the safety of ingredients.
