Food companies mainly use Saffron as a coloring agent but also as a flavor enhancer, the spice is cultivated by hand from the stigma of the flower Crocus Cartwrightianus. Saffron contains contains alpha-crocin, a compound which imparts a distinct yellow hue to foods.

It applies in cosmetics, sunscreens, pharmaceutical tablet coatings and foods — mainly chewing gum and other confectionery products. It has a high refractive index, which contributes to its bright, white color and opacity. While found in nature, it may be synthetically produced, leading to very low contaminant levels compared to the crude source extraction. Titanium dioxide may be coated with alumina or silica to improve its functional properties. 收起 | |
