Colourings can prove essential in many recipes, providing the ability to alter the appearance of your product when it does not match your expectations. There are two main types of food colourings. Colourings from natural sources and synthetic colourings. All are codified at European level and comply with new ruling 1333/2008 which reclassified the regulation and authorisation to place these products on the market. Some may be limited or prohibited in some applications. Natural colourings are globally more difficult to use because they are highly sensitive to light, heat and an acid environment. Colour fastness can be a problem. We offer them in liquid and powder forms. Liquid colourings are easier to use because of their lower concentrations. Water-soluble powder colourings and lacquers are the most concentrated forms and are therefore reserved for experienced users.
