Food color
for industries
Any dye, pigment, or chemical that gives color when added to food or drink is known as a food coloring or color additive. They are available in a variety of forms, including liquids, powders, gels, and pastes. Food coloring is used in both commercial and household food production. Food colorants are also utilized in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, home craft projects, and medical gadgets, among other non-food applications.
People link various colors with different flavors, and the color of food can affect how a person perceives the flavor of everything from sweets to wine. The goal is occasionally to replicate a hue that the customer perceives as natural, such as adding red coloring to glacé cherries (which would otherwise be beige), while other times it is for impact, such as the green ketchup Heinz introduced in 1999. Foods use color additives for a variety of reasons, including:
- To make food more attractive, appealing, appetizing, and informative
- Offset color loss due to exposure to light, air, temperature extremes, moisture and storage conditions
- Correct natural variations in color
- Enhance colors that occur naturally
- Provide color to colorless and “fun” foods
- Allow consumers to identify products on sight, like candy flavors or medicine dosages
