Natural Colors for Confectionery Applications

The confectionery industry is experiencing a significant shift toward the use of natural colors in an industry where artificial colors have traditionally dominated. This shift is linked to the 2007 Southampton study on the effect of synthetic colorants and hyper-activity in children as well as consumer awareness increasing over the connection between diet and health.
Kalsec^® can provide you with effective natural colors that can successfully be used to color confections and replace tartrazine, sunset yellow, carmoisine and allura red. The natural colors market is a significant share of the overall International colors market, and natural colors can be found in many mainstream foods and beverages across a variety of applications. Through careful selection of high stability pigments and Durabrite^® stabilization technology, light and heat stable natural colors can be developed. Combining this expertise and technology with careful attention to processing conditions creates effective natural coloring solutions for the confection industry.
