Colorings

In the world of food colorants, the anti-artificial trend governs the space today, with natural colors appearing in about 75% of new food product launches. Consumers still use their eyes to choose foods, but they want the ingredients, including (and sometimes especially) any colors, to be derived from biological sources, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other botanicals. 

Moving beyond the traditional annual color forecast, GNT has launched groundbreaking research that empowers food and beverage brands to devise tailor-made solutions for the modern market.

Sethness Roquette, the global leader in Caramel Colors for the Food & Beverages industries, announced it has selected IMCD US Food & Nutrition (“IMCD US”) to become the exclusive distributor of its Caramel Colors across the United States effective Jan. 1, 2022. 

GNT, manufacturer of EXBERRY® Coloring Foods, announced an initial investment of $30 million to expand its operation in North America. Centrally located in Gaston County, just outside of Charlotte, the 49-acre facility now takes the company’s operations to new heights and will provide significant advantages for its customers throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico.

The acquisition will enable Givaudan to become a global leader in natural colors, enhancing its ability to create “Feel Good” Food Experiences through its extensive portfolio of taste and sense solutions.

Most food is judged by the consumer before it’s ever tasted. The color and appearance of foods and beverages are a primary aspect of what encourages someone to desire and taste them. The vibrant greens of fresh produce, the rainbow hues of fruits, or the more subtle, creamy beiges and golds of cheeses, and the rich browns of baked goods and seared meats can awaken a slumbering palate.

Oterra™ announced it signed a transactional agreement to acquire Diana Food’s natural food coloring business.

Lycored has launched a new highly concentrated D3, creating opportunities for synergistic products that combine vitamin D with other ingredients.
