Product Overview
Water-soluble food color complexes are formulated by blending two or more food colorants with appropriate excipients according to the recipe specifications. They are suitable for adjusting color in aqueous food systems. By combining different hues, it is possible to achieve colors that are difficult to produce with a single colorant, thereby meeting the appearance and color requirements of food formulations.
The composition, color, solubility, and stability of different products may vary. When selecting a product, consider the food category, the pH of the formulation, processing temperature, and storage conditions to confirm the product’s suitability. The specific composition and quality specifications are subject to the product label, technical specifications, and batch test reports.
Features
Rich Color Palette:By combining different colorants, we formulate colors that meet the product design requirements.
Easy to Use:Dissolve the product in advance according to the instructions before adding it to the mixture to facilitate mixing and ensure even coloring.
Makes color management easier:Using predefined blending specifications helps reduce the need to weigh and mix multiple pigments one by one on the production floor.
Select a Model Based on Your Needs:You can select the appropriate product specifications based on the target color and actual processing conditions.
App Recommendations
Beverages: Used for color adjustment in suitable beverage systems, with a focus on pH, clarity, and color changes resulting from pasteurization and storage under light.
Candy and Sweets: Color matching for candy production systems, with a focus on sugar syrup concentration, the heating process, the order of ingredient addition, and the uniformity of the finished product’s color.
Frozen Beverages: Adjust product color in accordance with flavor design, paying attention to the impact of formulation ingredients—such as milk proteins and fats—on appearance, as well as color retention after frozen storage.
Pastry Decorations and Related Ingredients: For coloring approved decorative ingredients, focus on solubility, moisture migration, and color bleeding.
Technical Specifications
The figure below shows information on our current product lineup, listing the names, pigment index numbers, and selected performance parameters of various grades for reference in product selection. Specific specifications are subject to the corresponding technical data sheets and batch test reports; the regional usage information shown in the figure does not constitute the basis for current authorization.


Use and Storage
Before use, verify the product name, specifications, and application requirements. According to the product instructions, thoroughly dissolve the product in an appropriate amount of water first, then gradually add it to the formulation while stirring until evenly mixed. Determine the addition ratio through small-scale trials, record the order of ingredient addition and processing conditions, and check for any color changes in the finished product after processing and storage.
The product should be stored in a sealed container, protected from light and moisture, and kept away from high temperatures, as indicated on the label. Keep dispensing tools clean and dry, and reseal the container promptly after opening. Maintain proper hygiene when handling the prepared solution; storage conditions and shelf life should be determined based on actual process validation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question:What is the difference between water-soluble composite food colorings and single-color food colorings?
Compound pigments adjust their hues through a combination of various colorants, while single pigments primarily display their own color. The two may differ in composition, usage ratios, and application performance.
Question:Can it be used in all foods after blending?
No. It is necessary to verify the scope of use, maximum levels, and other restrictions for each food coloring in the target food category; blending does not expand the scope of application of the individual components.
Question:Why does color deviation occur after processing?
Different components may respond differently to temperature, light, and pH conditions. When the color of a particular component changes significantly, the overall color tone may also change; this should be confirmed through actual process testing.
Question:Can it be added directly to the oil?
Water-soluble products are not the same as oil-soluble products. For formulations primarily composed of oils and fats, an appropriate coloring solution should be selected based on the characteristics of the system.
Question:Can different sizes be substituted on a one-to-one basis?
We do not recommend a direct, like-for-like substitution. Products of different specifications may vary in composition, concentration, and shade, so new color matching and stability tests are required.
Question:How do you determine the addition ratio?
Based on the product composition and the usage requirements of each component, conduct small-scale trials in accordance with the target color, and calculate the required amount of each coloring agent based on the actual concentration.
