Colour solution comes out of the blue

Colour and flavours firm Wild has broadened its natural colour portfolio with a product developed from aquatic organism spirulina.

The ingredient can be used on its own or together with other colouring foodstuffs, says the firm. On its own, it provides a
blue shade similar to that of blueberries, and in combination with safflower the shade resembles the green of gooseberries.

“It can be used for a whole range of applications in the food industry, like hard and soft caramels or coated tablets,” says a Wild spokesman.
