Aquarius coating systems natural colours palette will be introduced at Supply Side West, an event for healthy and innovative ingredients, to be held in Las Vegas (US) in October.
Tom Durig, technical director, Ashland Specialty Ingredients, said: “Efforts by others to deliver a natural product to coat nutritional supplements have not been consistent. Our scientists were able to eliminate natural colours that are historically unstable and problematic and minimise our offering containing aluminium-based lakes in anticipation of future restrictions.”
Nutraceuticals are subject to food regulations which are more restrictive than their pharmaceutical counterparts with regard to the permitted colourants.
Derived from vegetable, animal and mineral sources, the organic and inorganic compounds that make up the Aquarius coating systems natural colours palette are stable, easy to use and can be combined with Ashland’s Aquarius MG coating systems’ moisture-guard line.
