Jul 23 2010 --- Azelis Food & Health/S. Black in UK & Ireland can now offer Candurin® Gold Sparkle, for that appealing, eye-catching look that makes your products stand out.

Candurin® Gold Sparkle, developed by Merck KGaA, features an elegant gold effect thanks to its special particle size distribution ranging from 10 to 150 µm. Complementing the existing range of golden Candurin® colours, it has a brilliant glitter that imparts an exquisite and enticing look to chocolates, pastries, fruit gums, candies, ice cream, toppings and beverages.

Russell Wheeler, Technical Sales Manager of Azelis/S. Black comments “Merck recognised a growing demand by global food and beverage manufacturers for a large sized gold pigment, similar to their existing Candurin® Silver Sparkle. This new product features a brilliant glitter thanks to its particle size distribution and offers high potential for innovative product design and differentiation.”

The mineral, non-artificial colour is based on natural silicate combined with titanium dioxide and iron oxide. Candurin® Gold Sparkle is produced according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and meets stringent international food, beverage and drug safety standards. Candurin® Gold Sparkle is easy to add to most formulations, even those containing other colours. The excellent stability of Candurin® Gold Sparkle helps food and beverage developers formulate products that are not only dazzling, but also reliable.
