Growing Utilization in Beverages
The increasing application of food colors in beverages, such as flavored drinks, nutritional drinks, and soft drinks, is driving the food colorants market. In CSD (carbonated soft drinks) and non-alcoholic beverages segments bright, vivid, and unusual colors are used to attract the younger generation looking for 'extreme' flavor. Strong and unusual colors in alcoholic beverages are appealing to consumers. There are many new developments in the natural color segment that can be used in beverages. For example, finding a suitable natural replacement for Yellow #6 in beverages was challenging due to flavor off-notes, instability, and simple ingredient label requirements; but now, Sensient Pure-S™ Orange is a perfect match for Yellow #6. It provides a deep orange shade in clear beverages, such as sports drinks, juices, water enhancers, and CSDs.
