Natural Food Colors

Colour is an important perceived attribute of a food product. The art of colouring food is centuries old. However, there has been an increasing awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic colours. In this backdrop, natural food colours have a significant role to play in the food and pharmaceutical applications.

Stringent legislations coupled with mounting consumer activism have resulted in a global search for natural alternatives in colours. Several colourants from natural sources have now been identified and accepted as convenient and safe substitutes.

Nature is a recurring source of natural pigments through leaves, flowers, seeds, bark and rhizomes. Synthite isolates and standardises the natural pigments to offer vibrant and delightful combinations.

The pigments developed by Synthite are:

• Annatto


• Marigold


• Paprika


• Red Sandalwood


• Turmeric


• Chlorophyll and more
