Food Ingredient Solutions distributes Vivapigments™, a kosher, vegetable based natural alternative to artificial FD&C lakes and carmine. Vivapigments™ are made using a process in which natural vegetable dyes are encapsulation by co-extrusion into an insoluble rice protein matrix, which is then ground to approximately 10 microns on a fluid bed air jet mill. The resulting colors are water and oil dispersible, coloring by pigmentation. This makes them ideal for coloring tablets, panned candies, compound coating, ice creams, frozen lollies, frozen yoghurts, yogurt coatings, seasoning blends, sugar, salt, inclusions, powdered beverage mixes, etc. www.foodcolor.eu
