“Developing formulations from three unique natural blue sources, including Spirulina and a patent pending process application, we can offer our customers even more shades of blues, greens and purples with superior performance across all food and beverage applications,” said Mike Geraghty, president, color group, Sensient Technologies Corporation. “Combining this blue portfolio with our expanded ranges of reds, oranges and yellows from our Advanced Emulsion Technology creates the most complete natural colour spectrum available to customers.”
Sensient’s expanded natural blue and green offering includes Spirulina, a natural colour source that delivers clean, bright blue and green shades.
Spirulina has recently been approved by the FDA for use in chewing gum and confectionery applications in the US. While Spirulina fulfils some of the natural blue colour needs in the US market, its application use is limited.
Sensient provides two additional natural blue sources delivering the largest natural blue portfolio in the industry. These new alternatives can be more economical and more effective across many applications in dairy, processed foods, baking, beverage and confection.
Sensient’s natural blue platform can replicate the bold shades of certified colours and offer additional appealing natural colours ranging from blueberry to sky blue, vibrant emerald to clean mint green, and intense grape to soft pastel lavender purple.
They are available in different delivery systems including liquid, powder and dispersion forms.
Sensient’s new colours have proven to be extremely pH, light and heat stable. This superior performance results from Sensient’s extensive protocol in sourcing and testing these raw materials and its SQF Level 3 certified global manufacturing facilities exceeding the highest independent standards.
