Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a natural pink food color that can survive UHT processing?

Yes, although UHT is extremely harsh processing, natural color technology has advanced such that there are options available, including Sensient’s Watermelon-Rose™. Not all lycopene solutions are made equal, especially when it comes to heat and pH stability, so it’s important to select a highly stable solution for harsh processing like UHT or HTST.

Is there a Kosher and clean label red color for beverages?

Yes! There are a multitude of natural red color solutions, including fruit and vegetable juices and lycopenes, each offering its own advantages for shade, stability, and performance. Unique shades can be achieved with different color ingredients such as the unusual coral hue of Sensient’s Watermelon-Rose™.

Can I replace Red 3 and Red 40 in highly acidic beverages?

Yes, it is possible to achieve bright red and pink hues in beverages even with high acid or vitamin content. Although these conditions may be too harsh for some fruit and vegetable juice colors, Sensient’s Watermelon-Rose™ is formulated specifically for enhanced stability in juices and similar applications.
