11 Jun 2020 --- Lycored’s lycopene-based colors deliver authentic meat-like coloration with long-lasting stability in plant-based meat alternatives. This is according to the results of the supplier’s two-color plant-based stability studies. Focusing on plant-based deli ham slices and sausage-style encased meats, Lycored’s scientists put its portfolio of all-natural, lycopene-based colors to the test, comparing them to two industry-standard all-natural color alternatives: beet and iron oxide. The news comes as artificial food colorings remain scrutinized by conscious consumers, which propels Lycored’s range of coloring foods into the spotlight.
