What is Caramel Food Color?
Caramel food color is produced by heating carbohydrates like sugar under controlled conditions, sometimes with acids, alkalis, or salts. This process creates a range of brown shades, from light amber to deep dark tones. It is one of the oldest and most widely used food colors, valued for its natural appeal, safety, and compatibility with numerous food systems. Depending on its manufacturing process, caramel food color is classified into four categories: Plain, Caustic Sulfite, Ammonia, and Ammonia-Sulfite. Each type has specific uses in different food and beverage applications.
