Natural Colorants for Capsules

Capsugel has introduced a new line of all-natural colorants for capsules. Natural ingredients such as caramel, riboflavin, carmine and spirulina were used to create the initial color spectrum. These natural dyes come from a variety of sources. For example, spirulina is sourced from the blue-green algae plant of the same name; caramel is a brownish color produced through heat-treatment of corn syrup or sugar; and riboflavin is an orange-yellow compound in the vitamin B complex that naturally occurs in foods such as vegetables and milk.
