LycoRed ~ Natural Beta-Carotene Colorants

ORANGE, N.J.LycoRed introduced a new line of natural beta-carotene colorants and new application concepts for vitamin and mineral premixes for functional beverages.

The vitamin and mineral premix applications are newly designed for use in beverages, including progressive concepts for energy and sport drinks. LycoRed has formulated premix applications without typical vitamin off flavors, especially for B vitamins, and inclusive of their inherent natural colorants.

The new beta-carotene colorant formulations are available in both natural and nature-identical sources, free of dichloromethane (DCM) and four times more color-intense than existing colorant formulations, according to LycoRed. The formulations can be used in clear and cloudy beverages, with a wide yellow to orange spectrum depending on the desired color required.

LycoRed will be at SupplySide West Global Expo and Conference in Las Vegas at The Venetian this month.
