Sensient expands natural colours range

Sensient Food Colours Europe has expanded its Cardea colours range, which are in compliance with the new EU guidance notes on colouring food.

The new colours are intended for sweet and fruity applications, the company said, such as yoghurt, dairy and fruit preparations, as well as confectionery and other foods and drinks.

“Through screening a wide choice of ingredients, our scientists defined their characteristic functionality to optimise superior performance in food and beverage applications. This allows protection against both oxidation and fading in order to safeguard the intense natural colour shades available,” said managing director of Sensient Colours Europe GmbH.
