BRANCHBURG, N.J. - Lycored, the global leader in naturally derived carotenoids for
food, beverage, and dietary supplement products, has debuted a new nature-based
colorant – ResilientRed™ BF. This is Lycored’s latest addition to their robust lineup
of naturally derived hues that provide beautiful and realistic shades to food
and beverage products.
Backed by science and formulated to meet growing consumer
demands for clean-label foods and beverages, ResilientRed BF has joined Lycored’s
family of naturally derived lycopene-based ResilientRed shades sourced from
tomatoes. Ideal for UHT dairy and plant-based beverages, plant-based meat
alternatives and surimi seafood, ResilientRed BF provides resiliency and
stability across pH, light and heat extremes and offers a viscosity for easier
flowability.
A superstable, versatile colorant, ResilientRed BF is the
perfect companion for “free-from” products intended to reach a high-end
demographic, specifically meeting ingredient requirements for products sold at Whole
Foods Market, and is made without ingredients such as sugar esters or palm oil.
Additionally, ResilientRed BF provides a vibrant shade at lower doses, creating
both efficiency and value benefits for brands.
“Consumers everywhere are voicing a clear preference for
naturally derived rather than artificial colors and are craving a return to
more wholesome foods and beverages,” said Caroline Schroeder, Head of Global
Marketing, Lycored. “We’re excited for customers, scientists and food experts to
meet their new best friend – ResilientRed BF. We are confident that this new
nature-based colorant will satisfy the growing number of consumers who desire premium,
clean-label products.”
