Food Coloring (Concentrate)

Formula: Согласно ТУ / ГОСТ GOST/CAS: ГОСТ 32781-2014

Food colorant (highly concentrated dry or liquid pigment) is a specialized additive designed to impart, intensify, or restore the color of finished products. The product features excellent solubility (either water-soluble or fat-soluble, depending on the modification) and high thermal stability. Thanks to its concentrated form, it ensures minimal consumption and precise color matching, preserving the consumer appeal and attractive commercial appearance of the finished product throughout its entire shelf life.

Applications

Confectionery Industry: Used for coloring fondant, glazes, creams, caramel, marmalade, fillings, as well as sponge cake and macaron batter. Guarantees vibrant, clean shades.
Beverage Production: Utilized in the manufacturing of carbonated soft drinks, juice-containing beverages, syrups, liqueurs, dry concentrates, and sports nutrition to provide a stable visual tone.
Dairy and Fat & Oil Sector: Included in the formulations of yogurts, ice cream, processed cheeses, margarines, and sauces (including mayonnaise), ensuring even color distribution throughout the entire mass.
Meat and Fish Processing: Applied for the standardization and restoration of the natural color of sausages, meat delicacies, pâtés, imitation caviar, and fish semi-finished products.

Key Advantages

High Concentration & Cost-Efficiency: Minimal dosage allows achieving a rich and deep color, reducing the overall production cost of the finished goods.
Resistance to External Factors: The product is highly stable against high temperatures (pasteurization, baking), UV rays, and fluctuations in the environmental pH level. It does not fade over time.
Perfect Technological Compatibility: Blends excellently with other ingredients and does not alter the consistency, taste, or aroma of the final product when standard dosage guidelines are followed.
Safety & Regulatory Compliance: The product is fully certified, free from toxic impurities, approved for use in the food industry, and completely safe for health when applied according to technical regulations.

Storage & Transportation

  • Store in dry, cool, light-protected, and well-ventilated warehouse premises in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources and foreign odors.
  • Recommended storage temperature range: from +5 °C to +25 °C. For liquid forms, do not allow the product to freeze.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and moisture exposure (applicable to powder forms, as the product is hygroscopic).
  • Transportation is permitted by all types of covered transport in compliance with the required temperature regime. The material is classified as non-hazardous cargo. Shelf life is 2–3 years from the date of manufacture (depending on the specific colorant type).
