    Food coloring is used for several reasons: to reinforce people's perceptions of flavor even when the flavoring is colorless, to compensate for color loss during processing, storage and exposure to environmental elements, and to maintain consistent colors and enhance the visual appeal of products by restoring lost coloring.

    FOOD COLOURING

    WHY ?
    Color as an Indicator of Flavor
    People often associate certain colors with specific
    flavors. Food dyes can help in reinforcing the
    perception of flavor, even if the flavoring itself does
    not impart any color.

    Compensation for Color Loss


    Exposure to air, light, extreme temperatures,
    moisture, and storage conditions can lead to color
    loss in foods. Dyes are added to compensate for this
    loss.

    Color Consistency
    Food dyes help in maintaining a consistent color in
    products. For instance, without dyes, products like
    candies would vary in color due to natural variations
    in ingredients.

    Color Enhancement
    Natural foods often lose color during processing, and
    dyes are used to enhance or restore the color. This
    makes the food more visually appealing and can
    make it look more appetizing.
