NATURAL COLOURS

With increasing demand for organic ingredients, natural food colours are gaining momentum globally. They are perceived as healthier, safer and more wholesome compared to synthetic alternatives. Using these natural colourings allows food manufacturers to meet evolving consumer trends and position their products more favourably in the market. 3

At FSL, we recognize the importance of colour in food and the growing consumer demand for natural products. Our naturally derived colours are vibrant, stable, and safe options, sourced directly from nature. These colours come from renewable and sustainable sources, making them more environmentally friendly than synthetic colours, which often involve non-renewable resources and harmful by-products.

Plant-based natural pigments, such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, and chlorophylls, not only add attractive colours to food products but also offer therapeutic effects, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Being concentrated, they are cost-effective, allowing manufacturers to achieve the desired colour intensity at a lower cost.

Natural Colour Solutions:

Hibiscus Extract: Anthocyanin-based, water-soluble red colour

Safflower Extract: Chalcone-based, water-soluble stable yellow

Turmeric Extract: Oil-soluble yellow, falling under the CFS category
