Natural colors Clear appearance Substitute for azo dyes Stability (ph, light, temp.)
As new scientific information on health risks for children exposed to azo dyes had emerged since Parliament's first reading, MEPs inserted a new amendment asking that foods containing these dyes be labelled "azo dyes may provoke allergenic effects and hyper-activity in children". They also agreed that where there is evidence that a food additive might cause undesirable side effects (e.g. azo dyes), the Commission, in consultation with the Member States, should take immediate action to ban it. As a result the EU commission has agreed on a warning label for foods, which contain azo-dyes. Therefore a replacement of these colours becomes almost inevitable. NovaSOL, winner of the best new ingredient for beverages in September 2009, offers a variety of colour shades, which are able to replace azo-dyes while keeping the established colour of the product. Therefore you can decide for a colour replacement without a change in the successful appearance of your product! *) picture source: see last page New regulatory on foods - azo-dyes to be replaced EU meeting agrees on warning label: The labeling of food additives containing azo-dyes shall display the warning "azo-dyes may provoke allergenic effects and hyperactivity in children". The following colours therefore are recommended to be replaced: o Sunset yellow (E 110) o Ouinoline yellow (E 104) o Carmoisine (E 122) o Allura red (E 129) o Tartrazine (E 102) o Ponceau 4R (E 124) Don t change replace! NovaSOL saves your colors Biomemetic colour system Identical colouration & transparency Incorporating natural colours
NovaSOL allows to leave artificial colours behind and to incorporate natural colour ingredients, which formerly were difficult or impossible to handle. Especially clear beverages are a huge challenge and often limit the choice of suitable colour ingredients. Packaging units NovaSOL is offered as a bulk liquid ingredient: 120 kg steel drums 1.000 kg container NovaSOL allows to incorporate natural colours with clear appearance and high stability. This is owed to the micelle structure of the liquid formula which has been designed exactly following the successful structural principle of biological micelles in milk, eggs, cells etc. Therefore it is a perfect solution with respect to the requirement of natural ingredients and technologies: We call it biomimetic mimic the nature! Key features of the NovaSOL are: Complete & stable water soluble for clear beverages Natural colour / clean label Identical colour appearance compared to azo-dyes solutions Preferably used as ingredient in beverage compounds Light and ph stable in suitable compounds Optional to compound: Directly applicable (liquid) Stability: o in low ph solutions o against heating processes Standardized additive concentrations Ease of Application Cost-in-Use Flexible colouration: adjustable by dosage Almost free of taste impacts Protected & awarded NovaSOL relies on protected and proprietary technology and know how and is winner of the best new ingredient of the beverage award 2009.
