Oil soluble caramel colour has the following features:

• 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 strength: tinctorial power is the absorbance of a 0.1% weight / volume solution.
