that can have hazardous effects. The primary food colours are known
by the names of food dyes, food additives, food colours etc. They add
visual appeal to various food products and other utility products.

Canned Food, Meat & Fish, Dairy, Ice Cream, Pharmaceuticals.
Blended
Powder Colours
Since the number of natural food colours
available in the market is limited, a large number of colours are
artificially made using various chemicals. Blended food colors are
a mixture of
two or more water soluble food colouring agents that are combined
in numerous ways to produce a vast array of shades. The process of
manufacturing
these chemicals involves deep in-house research where great care is
taken to ensure that they match international food quality standards.
Blended food colours form the most widely used products as they are
non-reactive and comparatively more stable than other colours.
Suitable
applications
Beverages, Confectionery, Desserts, Decorations & Coatings,
Canned Food, Meat & Fish, Dairy, Ice Cream, Pharmaceuticals.
