Sensient Colors has expanded its research and development efforts on a global scale, and developed an Advanced Emulsion Technology for natural colors. This emulsion technology combines multiple oil-and-water-based natural colors to provide a complex color matrix in a single delivery system, thus achieving new natural color shades that were previously unattainable.

The new, complex water-based emulsions allow for multiple oil-and-water-based natural colors to co-exist in a single color system. For instance, different vegetable juices and beta-carotene can be combined to make a bright stable red shade, similar to carmine.  This new technology can lessen package staining, reduce color bleed and allow for lower usage levels. It can also  minimize off-taste  flavors that are sometimes associated  with natural colors. These water based emulsions can easily be incorporated  into any application where  water is  available including beverage, dairy, confection, baking, and processed food applications.
