For example, because natural colors need to be extracted from their botanical sources, it’s critical to test for unauthorized solvents to ensure that these chemicals do not end up in a final consumer packaged good.
For more information on the other testing protocols, choose one of the following:
While all four groups permit methanol at a level of 50 ppm, acetone is limited to 30 ppm by the US, the FCC, and JECFA. As the leading global color supplier, Sensient’s Certasure™ program testing ensures that all global regulatory standards are met, no matter where the color is sold.
Sensient analyzes each raw material lot for a full panel of any solvents. If a substance that is not permitted for that botanical is detected, that lot is rejected and returned to the vendor and corrective actions are requested.
