Food Colors and their importance

FOOD is a source of energy and to sustain we need food. Colors are an inseparable part of food. We cannot think of food without color. Any dye, pigment or substance which is added to food items— solid or liquid—imparting the desired color, is referred to as food coloring. A food coloring agent can be available in various forms such as solid powders, liquid, viscous like gel or pastes. It can be of two types based on its sources

 (a)  Natural colour and (b) synthetic or artificial colour.

Natural food color is good for health. Need for addition of color to food Make food more attractive and informative as that helps the consumers to identify their desired food products. Also make food more appetizing.

 Food colors influence appetite and choice of food. Offsetting color loss due to light, air, extremes of temperature, moisture, and storage conditions, masking natural variations in color, enhancing naturally occurring colors, and providing identity to foods are all essential in the quest to make food attractive and informative.

 Protecting flavors and vitamins from damage by light, ensuring a certain quality for decorative or artistic purposes and increasing appetite appeal, making less desirable food more desirable, masking defects, and keeping certain foods tasting fresher for long time are also key

 ·         Natural color of food - Indication

It may indicate degree of sweetness, degree of ripeness or decay, type of flavour, types of fruits or vegetables, and visual information about phytochemical properties that are good for health.

 ·         Artificial colouring agent

Food colouring agents, food colourants, colourants, colour additives, and food dyes are any dye, pigment or substance that can impart colour, alone or through reaction with other substances, when added or applied to a food, drug, cosmetics or to the human body.

 The natural colours from plant, animal and mineral sources had been used but due to economic interest, manufacturers had popularised more artificial colours. Aniline was the first petroleum product that is a toxic compound from which several chemically synthesised colours were derived. Basically starting materials were obtained from coal tar of bituminous coal and which were very toxic to health. Artificially synthesised colours are less costly to produce, and are attractive in colouring properties, highly concentrated, and they are widely available and have been used in food, paint, coating, textile and plastics industries. Azo-dyes is another variety of synthetic colours. In this dye, colour can be controlled selecting the number of azo-groups and various substituents. A blue achieved by replacing the aniline derivate with benzidine derivate and red colours by reaction between aniline derivatives (diazo) with a naphthol derivate.

 ·         Conclusion

Colouring agent in food has an important role. Without colour we cannot imagine food or its item. Colour makes food and its items very attractive and appealing to taste. Natural Food Colours are good for health whereas use of chemically synthesised arterial colour is not very good for health and their use should be controlled fully by laws by government. Wherever there is use of artificial colour in food they should be mentioned on the container properly in labelling. Manufacturing companies and industries should strictly follow the guidelines in food laws to ensure the safety and health of the general public.

FOOD COLOURS

Food coloring, or color additive, is any dye, pigment or substance that imparts color when it is added to food or drink. They come in many forms consisting of liquids, powders, gels, and pastes. Food coloring is used both in commercial food production and in domestic cooking.

But why is colour added in foods?

Foods     without colours are generally considered inferior in quality which is why     colours are added to make them look attractive

Food     colours can also protect vitamins and flavors that may be affected by     sunlight during storage and increase the shelf life of the product.

By     using Food Colours, we can     enhance the natural colour of the dish and introduce decorative colours to     other foods.

Colour     of the food can affect your perception of food

 Type of food colours:

Food colorings are of two sorts: Artificial and Natural. Not surprisingly, natural colours are a superior option as they are entirely derived from plants. Normal coloring generally appears less vibrant when contrasted with artificial coloring. This however, does not make a difference in the flavor of your food.

While many of us like to believe that we are not easily deceived, our sense of taste is often fooled by our sense of sight. This is because we humans have certain ‘Expectations’ of how food should look. When a food’s color is off or is different than what we expect, our brain tells us that it tastes different too. Long supported by scientific studies, we use visual cues from color to identify and judge the quality and taste of what we eat.

We bet none of you have thought about how colors affect the way we feel about the food we eat, Have you? Color psychology has been used in marketing for a long time now. For example – Most fast food chains will preferably use Red colour followed by Yellow and Orange. Yellow and orange are colors that make people feel hungry. The color red is associated with emotion and passion. So when one sees red combined with yellow and orange, they become passionately hungry.

How about you? Do colors make you most hungry?

Here at Markskill we distinctively supply selective scope of food colours like natural chemicals such as carotenoids a dark red, yellow and orange colors can be obtained. These colors are water-soluble dyes, which are widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. They are also used in bakery, cakes and candies, biscuits, cereals, soft drinks, beverages, jams, jellies, custards, pudding powder, and cherry dyeing, Ketchup sauces and other canned food, soda water. These colours are fabricated utilizing the best quality clean hygienic ingredients and excellent quality raw materials.

Suspending agent excipients

Suspending agent excipients help active pharmaceutical ingredients stay suspended in the formulation and prevent caking at the bottom of the container. One of the properties of a well-formulated suspension are that it can be easily re-suspended by the use of moderate agitation or shaking.

Markskill specializes in providing the top suspending/thickening agents if you want more information on the product, grade, or form of the suspending / thickening agent you require, just contact our excipient chemical specialist.

Most suspending agents perform two functions. Besides acting as a suspending agent them also impart viscosity to the solution. Suspending agents form film around the particle and decrease interparticle attraction. Suspending agents also act as thickening agents. They increase in viscosity of the solution, which is necessary to prevent sedimentation of the suspended particles.

A good suspension should have well-developed thixotropy. At rest, the solution is sufficiently viscous to prevent sedimentation and thus aggregation or caking of the particles. When agitation is applied the viscosity is reduced and provide good flow characteristic from the mouth of the bottle.

A pharmaceutical suspension, like other, disperse systems, is thermodynamically unstable, thus, making it necessary to include in the dosage form, a stabilizer or suspending the agent which reduces the rate of settling and permits easy redispersion of any settled particulate matter both by protective colloidal action and by increasing the consistency of the suspending medium. Suspending agents are (i) inorganic materials, (ii) synthetic compounds, or (iii) polysaccharides.

CONSTRUCTION ADHESIVES & SEALANTS

Phenalkamines cure fast at room and low temperatures and have outstanding mechanical properties. Fast bond strength development at low temperatures makes phenalkamine suitable for year-round construction and building adhesives such as grouts, concrete patching compounds, rapid set repair, and maintenance adhesives. These products also offer epoxy construction and building adhesives with the excellent mechanical strength and high Tg required to withstand external stresses during service.

Adhesive materials are exposed to moisture at all times. Absorption of moisture by adhesives can weaken their strength and ultimately result in failure of the material. The phenalkamines provide outstanding moisture resistance and surface tolerance for wet substrates, which is an inherent benefit of CNSL technology that ensures structural bonds stay strong throughout the lifetime of the adhesive.

Phenalkamides also offers excellent properties as adhesives because they delivers fast bond-strength development combined with excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. Adhesives based on Phenalkamides give longer pot-life with extended pot life and outstanding bond strengths to various substrates. They also provide good Tg compare to phenalkamines.
