NATURE’S COLOURS
At Kanegrade we develop natural colours and colouring extracts that help food look its most delicious.
Colour lost during processing might need to be boosted, or in applications such as confectionery, colour may need to be introduced to maximise the full gestalt of flavour perception. Kanegrade has been supplying natural colour solutions for food, beverage and pharma applications for 40 years.
For an even more clean label solution, natural extracts can be used. Whilst these have good colouring properties, natural extracts are classed as an ingredient and therefore do not have an E-number. Since their colouring components are not isolated, they may also retain some of their flavouring properties so a complementing ingredient should be chosen. These extracts are often a source natural antioxidants too, so they create a well-rounded food enhancing product.
Our highly knowledgeable team ensure we only recommend products which will work in your application, using a meticulous process to ensure the pH, dosage level, exposure to light and processing temperature are all correct. We also offer a bespoke blending service to achieve the most precise colours. We pride ourselves on the extensive range of our natural extracts and colours.
