Natural vs Synthetic Food Colours
- Natural Colours: Extracted from plants, fruits, and vegetables. They are considered cleaner alternatives, best suited for brands focusing on "natural" labels.
- Synthetic Colours: Offer bright, stable, and cost-effective colouring for large-scale production. These are permitted and safe when used within regulatory limits.
Choosing between natural and synthetic depends on your application, desired vibrancy, and product positioning.
How to Use Food Colours (Best Practices)
- Start with small quantities; colours are highly concentrated.
- Always mix thoroughly to avoid uneven tones.
- For chocolates and fat-based items, use oil-dispersible (lake) colours instead of water-soluble.
- Avoid overheating, as some colours may lose vibrancy under extreme heat.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for longer shelf life.
