摘要

THIS INVENTION DESCRIBES THE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING A DYE EXTRACT OBTAINED FROM THE HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA L. PETALS AS A COMPETITIVE ALTERNATIVE TO ARTICLES ALREADY EXISTING. THIS PROCESS HAS NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES, SUCH AS: THE FACT OF BEING A SIMPLE EXTRACTION METHOD WITH THE MODERATE USE OF ORGANIC SOLVENTS; OBTAINING A GREAT CAPACITY EXTRACT MAKING IT VERY COMPETITIVE TO ARTIFICIAL DYES ALREADY IN THE MARKET; AND THE USE OF A MATRIX WHERE THEY ARE COMPOUND COMPOUNDS THAT, BEYOND MANIFESTING YOUR COLOR POWER, HAVE BIOACTIVE POTENTIAL, BECAUSE IT IS A MATRIX RICH IN ANTHROCANINS (FIG. 1). OBTAINING NATURAL COLOR GOES AGAINST THE CONCERNS AND NEEDS OF VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL SECTORS, IN PARTICULAR THE REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING ARTIFICIAL COLORS WITH VARIOUS ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS. THE COLOR OBTAINED HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN VARIOUS SECTOR SECTORS.
