Sensient launches alternative to caramel colours

Sensient Food Colors Europe has launched a line of colours that provide a natural alternative to traditional caramel colours.

The range of natural brown shades for food and beverage applications includes plant-based products that are available as colouring foodstuffs, complying with the new EU guidance notes on colouring food.

The line includes apple-based products, offering several brown shades particularly suitable for the beverage and confectionery industries. For dairy products, alternatives based on malt and burnt sugar are now available, and a range of oil soluble products are included for use in savoury and snack applications.
