No, it is natural, coming from "red cabbage".
The red-cabbage indicator smells like cabbage, nothing else...
Nothing, but red cabbage is a simple pH indicator at home (red in acidic solutions).
When red cabbage indicator is added to acid solutions, it changes to a reddish-pink color. This change occurs due to the presence of anthocyanins in the cabbage, which react with the hydrogen ions in the acid, resulting in a shift in color. In contrast, in basic solutions, the indicator turns green or blue.
Alkalis turn red cabbage juice blue/green/yellow.
Lemonade will turn pink when red cabbage indicator is added to it. This color change is due to the red cabbage indicator being sensitive to pH levels. The acidity of the lemonade will cause the red cabbage indicator to change color to pink.
