Sensient Colors
This is a trip report. The idea for it began when I overheard a manager from our member Sensient which, among other things creates inks, say that they had managed to create a Neon Yellow Inkjet Ink in 4 months rather than the usual 9 months. WHAT? It takes months to creates colors? Why? The other part of the mystery was why a factory asked for the neon yellow and not the brands. As it turns out the factory knew the market better than the brands and knew there was a market for this brilliant glowing yellow sublimation ink.

When Kraft macaroni and cheese lost its signature, neon-tinged orange flare this year, it was instantly recognizable to consumers. The shift from processed foods to natural alternatives was a game-changer and turning down the volume on color was a sign of the times. If Kraft's established, secure product was changing, suddenly no product was safe.

How food looks may be a major deciding factor whether or not a consumer will try the product. In order to increase the visual appeal, food and beverage designers use color additives to enhance their products. But consumers are also becoming more interested in the ingredients that make up these foods and beverages, forcing manufacturers to look at alternative, natural options for colorants. This Digital Pulse Issue delves into how products with color are created and kept consistent from the processing to the time it lands on the shelf.
In what’s been called the “clean label” trend, consumers increasingly are seeking out products with a short list of minimally processed ingredients and typically free of artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors and preservatives. As beverage makers try to keep up with this consumer demand, this trend has, in turn, generated strong growth for natural colors typically sourced from fruit and vegetable extracts, as opposed to synthetic colors.

Consumers are fickle when it comes to their candy color. They expect their red taffy to taste like strawberry and their green gum to be spearmint; meanwhile, the red or green coating that seals a chocolate-covered peanut better be tasteless. The same is true of the rainbow-colored nonpareils adorning a gumdrop.
