Caramel color or caramel coloring is a water-soluble food coloring. It is made by heat treatment of carbohydrates, in general in the presence of acids, alkalis, or salts, in a process called caramelization. It is more fully oxidized than caramel candy, and has an odor of burnt sugar and a somewhat bitter taste. Its color ranges from pale yellow to amber to dark brown.
The shade or "tone" of the Caramel Colour is also a very important factor.
The "Hue Index" is the only objective way to measure the shade of each product. The higher the Hue Index value, the redder the Caramel Colour.
All freights are determined based on the weight of the item and the destination.
