Key Features of Liquid Caramel Colour For Pharmaceutical Sector Uses

• Colour Strength: Tinctorial power is the absorbance of a 0.1% weight / volume solution.
• Specific Gravity: ranges from 1.25 - 1.38 pounds/ gallon that corresponds to a range of about 10.4 - 11.5 pounds/gallon. The corresponding dry substance content of the liquid caramel colour ranges from 50 percent - 70 percent
• Ionic Charge: the module is negatively charged.
• Sulfite Considerations: usually contain sulfites because it is produced by using sulfite reactants.
• Viscosity: The viscosity of caramel colour varies. Hence, it should be confirmed that the viscosity of the caramel colour is not a reflection of its colour strength. Lower viscosity is easier to handle, dissolves faster.
• Microbiological Stability: It is attributed to the high processing temperatures, high specific gravity, high acidity and high osmotic pressure.
• Colour: Light to dark reddish brown depending on the food Products and the quantity used.
