The new formulations provide deeper red lycopene colour with blue backgrounds, similar to the shades from carmine. LycoRed will showcase the new lycopene colour line at the IFT show in Chicago next month.
“The increased demand from customers seeking to replace carmine encouraged us to extend our natural red colourants line and develop new formulations suitable for additional food applications, such as confectionery, dairy and beverages,” said Roee Nir, global commercial manager of colour for LycoRed. “By adding more formulations, we can provide food and beverage developers with a variety of options, so they can in turn expand product offerings to their customers. Moreover, all of our natural food colourants are sustainable and produced in an eco-friendly process, ensuring our customers always receive the highest quality in the marketplace.”
The new Tomat-O-Red lycopene colourant formulations are available in liquid forms, are vegetarian and free from any allergenic components, as listed in the EU’s Directive 2007/68/EC and those identified in the US’s Food Allergen Labelling and Consumer Protection Act of 2 August 2004.
