Vibrant & diverse raw materials found in nature…

NATURE’S COLOURS

Our food colours are created from the vibrant and diverse raw materials found in nature. Colours range from yellow, to orange, to red, to green, to purple, as well as black and white. Dosage can be adjusted to create unique shades and we also create custom blends to achieve your ideal colour tone.

THE EXTRACTS

Pigments are extracted and standardised such as:

• Chlorophyll (Green)
• Anthocyanin (Purple)
• Curcumin (Yellow)
• Capsanthin (Orange/Red)
• Betanin (Red)

In fact we work with over 15 different natural pigments with E-numbers which are legally recognised as safe and effective food colourants.

COLOURING FOODS

We have created a full range of ‘clean label’ colouring foods with intrinsic colouring ability, but without E-numbers. Typically these are vegetable and fruit derived, such as Beetroot Liquid and Spinach Powder which are simply declared as an ingredient on your label.

YOUR APPLICATION

Each colour is matched with an application system which ensures colour is retained throughout any processing and for the full shelf life of the end product. We’ve developed solutions for all types of applications including beverage, confectionery, bakery, dairy, meat, ice cream, sauces and many more. Our technologists are ready for your next application challenge.

UNIQUE PRODUCTS

Many of our natural colours are used by those who want to stop using artificial colours and we can give full technical advice on your changeover. We have also developed products such as a carmine replacer and an alternative to titanium dioxide.
