Sensient Food Colors Europe has extended its Cardea range with new colour shades. Sensient’s Cardea product line is composed of natural ingredients and concentrates meeting growing clean labelling demands and is claimed to fit perfectly with the new EU guidance notes on colouring food.
“Through screening a wide choice of ingredients, our scientists defined their characteristic functionality to optimize superior performance in food and beverage applications,” said Dr. Roland Beck, managing director of Sensient Colors Europe. “This allows protection against both oxidation and fading in order to safeguard the intense natural colour shades available. These new shades are especially suitable for sweet and fruity applications such as yoghurt, dairy and fruit preparations as well as confectionery and other food and beverage use.”
Sensient says that the composition of Cardea enables food manufacturers to claim the total formulation of the colouring preparation as natural and complies with the new EU guidance notes.
