Our vegetable carbon pigment is ideal for beverage brands looking to make a statement while keeping ingredients natural. It is shelf-stable, pH-resistant, and non-reactive, maintaining its tone even in acidic and mildly alkaline systems. Perfect for activated charcoal drinks, cold-pressed juices, or limited-edition dark beverage lines that require high visual impact.
Create charcoal candies, licorice, novelty gums, or dark-themed gummies and lollipops with our plant-based black color. Its high tinting strength ensures deep saturation with minimal dosage. The pigment disperses smoothly and holds color even under moisture, making it perfect for vegan and allergen-free confections. It also helps achieve a dramatic look in Halloween or gothic-themed candy lines.
Our black color adds a bold, premium aesthetic to ice creams, black sesame yoghurts, and flavored dairy beverages. It is stable in cold and acidic environments, ideal for indulgent and trendy dairy launches. Vegetable carbon has a neutral flavor, allowing the base flavors like vanilla, coconut, or charcoal latte to shine through clearly. Great for clean-label brands creating functional or influencer-driven frozen and cultured dairy products.
Enhance your bakery offerings with visually stunning black breads, burger buns, cookies, macarons, pastries, and cakes. Our vegetable carbon pigment is highly heat-stable, maintaining color intensity through baking and frying processes. It helps replicate the aesthetic of activated charcoal while offering a natural, E153-compliant color solution. Ideal for premium, health-positioned bakery items or themed creations seeking bold contrast.
Use our black color to add rich darkness and visual intrigue to spice blends, black garlic pastes, burger sauces, squid ink-style dips, and smoky barbecue glazes. It is oil- and water-dispersible, non-staining, and flavor-neutral, making it versatile in both dry and wet seasoning formats. A popular choice for fusion cuisines and gourmet-style products targeting adventurous eaters.
Our vegetable carbon pigment is frequently used in charcoal capsules, detox blends, powders, gummies, and toothpastes. It is valued not only for its intense color but also for its association with purification and detoxification (in non-food health use contexts). The pigment aligns with clean-label standards and is widely accepted in activated charcoal-based wellness products. Available in fine powder form for seamless blending into functional formats.
