The future of color in the Food Industry - Crystal Technology provided by IMPAG Iberia

In recent years, there has been a steady growth in demand for foods formulated with cleaner labels and simplified compositions, which has led the food industry to use natural ingredients. In this article we will focus on natural colorants and food coloring: Coloring Food. These ingredients make it possible to obtain intense colors without the need for artificial additives, which is in line with consumers' preference for “Clean Label” and natural products.

The main differences between natural colorants and coloring foods lie in their origin, production process and labeling

Natural colorants are food additives derived from natural sources such as plants, minerals or animals. They are extracted and, in some cases, undergo chemical or enzymatic processes to improve their stability and concentration, and are labeled under the legal designation of E numbers.

Coloring foods, on the other hand, are natural ingredients obtained by physical processes such as pressing, filtering or drying, and are not considered additives. Instead of being identified by E-numbers, they are labeled as extracts, concentrated juices, etc.
