About Food Colors

Food colors are dye, pigments, or substances that normally impart color when added to food products or beverages. The exact color of the dye or pigment depends on the concentration, pH, and nature of the food to which it is added. Food colors can be segmented into natural food colors and synthetic food colors. While natural food colors are extracted from vegetables, fruits, minerals, and animal sources, and do not contain any chemicals, synthetic food colors are made using chemical processing methods. The demand for natural food colors is driving the growth of the global food colors market. Both natural and synthetic food colors are widely used in the food industry, such as in beverages, baked goods and confectionery, pet food, and meat. These colors come in various forms and have different functions, such as liquid colors which are easily soluble in water.
