From an ancient time people have been coloring food, drug and cosmetic products. Like, our ancestor used color such as saffron to color certain food. Also many behavioral studies show that the human appetite and choice of food are influenced by colors. Thus people all over the world are using food colors to give a pleasant look to their foods.
A Primary Food color is water-soluble, and exhibits coloring power when it is dissolved. Synthetic Food Colors are in more use than the Natural Colors, because of availability of wide hue range and competitive prices. |

LAKE COLOR |
Lake Colors are dispersible in vegetable oil, and can be mixed with fats, oils, etc. They can also be dispersed in suspension of propylene glycol or sucrose (water or sugar).
Lake colors, being relatively inert absorption compounds, are very adaptable and versatile. Because of their good dispersion properties, an almost infinite variety of products can be colored with these pigments.
Lake colors are more stable than the water-soluble colors, thus it is widely used in Cosmetic & Pharmaceutical industry. Krishna International offer Lake Colors in three concentrations 15-22 %, 23-30%, 31-38%. |
