FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to oxidation protection of natural dyes using a solubilisate. The solubilisate contains at least one natural dye which is insoluble or poorly soluble in water, at least one emulsifier with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 8 to 19, at least one water-soluble antioxidant and at least one fat-soluble antioxidant. The dye and antioxidant are together enclosed in micellae. Content of the emulsifier ranges from 65 to 90 wt %. Described also is a method of producing said solubilisate and use thereof in food products, cosmetic and pharmaceutical agents.
EFFECT: solubilisate provides oxidation protection of antioxidants and substantially complete antioxidative protection of a dye up to the end of the minimum shelf life thereof.
