Annatto / Bixin / Norbixin, a carotenoid, is extracted from the orange coloured outer coat surrounding the seeds of the shrub Bixa orellana. When it is initially extracted, it is known as Bixin. Bixin is the Oil Soluble form of annatto, the primary ingredient surrounding the seeds in the fruit of the plant. It can be turned into Norbixin, which is truly water soluble–reducing the need for emulsifiers or gums. This is a unique attribute of annatto within the carotenoid family. view less

Apocarotenal is a carotenoid available in citrus fruits and some vegetables such as spinach. Like beta-carotene, in the human body it transforms into Vitamin A. While beta-carotene contributes yellow to orange hues, apocarotenal contributes orange to red hues. Nature-identical apocarotenal coloring is relatively heat stable but degrades with light exposure. view less

Carrot Oil is an all natural orange food coloring that is primarily composed of beta-carotene.The light absorption of the conjugated carbon chain is responsible for the orange color. Food coloring manufacturers employ solvent extraction of edible carrots to obtain the pigment, they then remove the solvent and substitute it with oil to yield the final products. This carotenoid like others may provide beneficial health functions due to the antioxidant properties acting as a vitamin precursor. view less

Curcumin (from Turmeric) is a yellow root which imparts color and flavor to food and has been used as a color and/or spice for centuries. Turmeric is produced by grinding the rhizomes of the perennial herb, Curcuma longa. Various extraction methods exist, yielding different yellow variations depending on the ratio of color compounds extracted. Curcumin pigments are naturally insoluble in water; however, food color manufacturers circumvent this water insolubility by using particle size reduction and emulsifiers, which allow turmeric to be used in both aqueous and lipid products. view less

Lycopene is an all natural red food coloring agent that belongs to the carotenoid group. There are many different varieties of food that you can find use Lycopene like fruits, vegetables, and microorganisms. The European Union has approved lycopene extracted from tomatoes (E160d(ii), extracted from Blakeslea trispora (160d(iii)), and produced synthetically (160d(i)). The FDA in the United States has approved only lycopene sourced from tomatoes as a color additive in foods. view less

Paprika Oleoresin / Capsanthin / Capsorubin is manufactured from the dried and ground sweet pepper pods of Capsicum Annum. The colorings that impart the characteristics yellow to orange hue of paprika are Capsanthin and Capsorubin. This red spice imparts flavor and the color of food, paprika color compounds can also be solvent extracted to produce paprika oleoresin, a purified form of the coloring compounds.
Paprika and paprika oleoresin are both stable to heat but sensitive to light and alkaline conditions. The pigments are naturally insoluble in water, especially the oleoresin. Food coloring manufacturers circumvent this through emulsification, allowing paprika to be used in both aqueous and lipid products. Food and beverage companies commonly use the oil soluble form of paprika oleoresin for coloring. view less

Red cabbage is a vegetable that is predominantly grown in parts of Northern Europe and Asia. The juice that is extracted through the vegetable is known as a (Anthocyanin), this colorant exhibits a reversible change in structure as the pH levels of a solution change from acidic to basic. The change in color is characterized by a shift in the hue from red to purple. Anthocyanins from Red Cabbage exhibit more heat stability than any other form and are approved for use in food applications. view less
