Natural food colors are natural coloring agents that are derived from plants, animals, or minerals. A variety of seeds, fruits, and vegetables are used as coloring agents in cooking, cosmetics, and medicines. Natural colors should be stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to ensure they do not lose their flavor and color due to exposure to sunlight or moisture. Some of the commonly used natural food colors like caramel, saffron, turmeric, betanin, and paprika among others.
There is also a wide range of synthetic colors that are safe and commonly used in culinary preparations to make it more attractive and tempting for palates. Synthetic foods are offered in a highly purified form and are approved under the Pure Food and Drug Act, making them completely safe for users. Synthetic food colors are commonly used in syrups, cakes, cookies, candies, ice cream, and fruit juices, among others. Archaeological evidence shows the use of synthetic food colorings over 3,000 years ago, and their popularity has only increased over time.
Synthetic foods make preparations more delicious and appetizing, since the taste is largely influenced by the smell and appearance of the food. There are many synthetic colors, including Allura Red Amaranth, Black, Green, Sunset Yellow, red, etc., and they are used to enrich even natural fruit drinks like orange juice.
