Natural colours

Divi's Nutraceuticals has developed a free from range called Novel Application, which can be used to fortify or colour a variety of liquids and dry foods.

Colour is often the first element noticed in the appearance of a snack, impacting the way consumers perceive taste and flavour. Carotenoids are good alternatives to artificial dyes and support the transition to clean labels.

As an expert in chemical synthesis and formulation, Divi’s has the technical capabilities to produce silicon dioxide-free spray-dried products with the same performance and characteristics as conventional spray-dried products, resulting in nanoparticle-free ingredients. Moreover, these products contain no synthetic antioxidant, no palm oil and no added sugar, while maintaining excellent stability and texture.

Divi’s offers a range of synthetic and natural carotenoids providing light yellow to dark red coloration. These carotenoids are available in a variety of high-quality product forms to best suit the requirements of each type of application, whether for use in fortification or coloration.

Another of its next gen innovations is AstaBead, a highly concentrated beadlets of sustainable natural astaxanthin.

Divi’s transforms oleoresin, which is naturally sourced from microalgae, into easy-to-handle beadlets that contain 5% astaxanthin - the highest concentration on the market - which show excellent performance in applications such as nutritional bars.
