Consumers in many regions continue to demand natural foods. In response, food and beverage manufacturers are formulating with simple, clean label options — including “Burnt Sugar” and “Colour: Plain Caramel.” Applications include baked goods, breakfast cereals, dessert toppings, sauces, seasonings, coffee drinks and confectionery products. 收起 | |

Hues vary depending on the preparation method of the cochineal extract. Using water or alcohol, manufacturers extract carmine acid. Carminic acid is orange in low pH and violet in high pH. The color shift results from pH affecting the phenolic groups on the carminic acid molecule. 收起 | |

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. 收起 | |

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 | |

It is is produced through steam activation (charring) of vegetable fibers. It is an insoluble black food coloring used in confectionery products, icing, baked goods and ice cream. European and Canadian authorities approve its use as a colour additive. The United States FDA does not allow its use. 收起 |
