The nature-identical colourants that are part of DSM’s new clear carotenoid solutions allow for the replacement of azo dyes, which can help manufacturers meet consumer demand for natural-looking, transparent beverages such as energy drinks, flavoured waters, soft drinks and sports drinks.
These colourants are taste-neutral, as components that can cause off-flavours such as d-Limonene or tween are not used in the delivery system.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of our new, clear carotenoid solutions, which form part of DSM’s wider portfolio of carotenoid offerings,” said global marketing manager Jens Birrer. “Our solutions will allow customers to create brightly coloured beverages that are crystal clear, with a neutral taste and superior stability, providing an appealing alternative to azo dyes.
“As a fully backward integrated and leading supplier of carotenoids worldwide, we are committed to developing ingredients to meet our customers’ needs and help them create more natural beverages with attractive cost in use and the highest safety and quality standards.”
