Technology & Applications
Dairy
Yogurts, flavored milk, ice cream and cheese.
11 products
Near-neutral pH and protein interactions make dairy a demanding base. We select pigments that stay true in white matrices and survive UHT or pasteurization.
Formulation Challenges
- Neutral pH turns anthocyanins blue-grey
- Heat treatment degrades betanin
- Colors look paler in opaque white bases
Our Recommendations
- Beetroot Red for strawberry and raspberry yogurts
- Spirulina Blue and green blends for ice cream
- Paprika or beta-carotene for cheese and butter
