Natural Food Ingredients > Natural Colours

 

Natural colours are sourced from plants and are made from natural botanical ingredients such as capsicum (red) and spinach (green), by removing all the non-colour components from an extract of the botanical herb. For example, to obtain natural red colour from capsicum, the pungency is removed from an extract of capsicum.

The intensity of the colour in natural colours is measured using a couple of different scales. We provide in a unit called colour unit. Natural Colours are either oil (O/s) or water (W/s) soluble.

Natural colours will not behave exactly like their synthetic counterparts. For example, the colours are not as stable and as vivid as synthetic colours. The consumer market has accepted these limitations as the benefits of using natural colours to human health far outweighs any esthetic downsides.

Our natural colours are food grade. They are manufactured in premises which are HACCP, ISO and GMP certified.
