SYNTHETIC FOOD DYES
Synthetic food dyes are colourants that are produced industrially.
They can be manufactured to a high degree of purity, with high colour strength and consistent quality, and are used in foods, medicines, cosmetics, and washing and cleaning agents.
Compared with the colouring foodstuffs and the natural dyes, they offer consistent resistance to heat, light and the impact of chemicals. Additional advantages are their high colouring power, neutral taste and long shelf-life of five years.
Synthetic food dyes meet the requirements for kosher food and have to be declared by their E number and/or product name.
Our products are available in water-soluble form as powder or granules, or as lake colours in water-insoluble form in various packaging sizes.
