Features of LINABLUE®
Experiment: Results of adding LINABLUE® to various drinks
※Add 1 drop (0.07 g) of（LES2）liquid LINABLUE® to each drink.
Even though the colors look the same initially, differences appear after adding LINABLUE®. Three main factors influence this:
1: Slight difference in yellowish color
2: pH
3: Alcohol
LINABLUE® tends to turn green in low pH conditions.
It also tends to turn green in the presence of alcohol. A cloudy drink may appear colorless, but it actually has a light blue hue.
LINABLUE® is not only blue, but can also express a variety of beautiful green colors like this.
