Abstract: In this paper, the effects of different factors on the stability of Pyracantha fortunena pigment were studied. The results were as follows; the natural Pyracantha fortunena pigment was brillant, insensitive to light at pH3 and stable when the temperature was less than 90℃. At the same time, the influence of the minerals and preservative was, but the presence of Cu2+、Fe3+ that could lead to its loss, and Pyracantha fortunena pigment was enhanced when saccharides were applied to its solutions.

Key words:  Pyracantha fortunena pigment, conditions, stability
