Lycored debuts nature-based colourant 'ResilientRed BF' at IFT First

Lycored, a producer of naturally derived carotenoids, has introduced a new nature-based colourant called ResilientRed BF at the IFT First event in Chicago this week.


ResilientRed BF is the latest addition to Lycored's portfolio of naturally derived lycopene-based colourants sourced from tomatoes. The company is positioning the new colourant as a "best friend" for food and beverage manufacturers looking to meet growing consumer demand for clean label products.


"Consumers everywhere are voicing a clear preference for naturally derived rather than artificial colours and are craving a return to more wholesome foods and beverages," said Caroline Schroeder, head of global marketing at Lycored.

Ideal for applications such as UHT dairy, plant-based beverages, meat alternatives and surimi seafood, ResilientRed BF is designed to provide resilience and stability across a range of pH, light and heat conditions. The colourant also offers improved flowability compared to previous formulations.


ResilientRed BF is made without ingredients like sugar esters or palm oil, allowing it to meet the stringent requirements for products sold at retailers like Whole Foods Market.


Lycored says the new colourant can provide vibrant shades at lower usage levels, creating efficiency and value benefits for brands.


"We're excited for customers, scientists and food experts to meet their new best friend – ResilientRed BF – through interactive demonstrations on the IFT FIRST expo floor," Schroeder added. "We're confident this new nature-based colourant will satisfy the growing number of consumers who desire premium, clean label products."
