These are water insoluble form of Aluminium Lakes of Food Colors used in food applications, producing brighter and more vivid colors.
Neelikon offers the complete range of aluminium lake colors made from primary food colors meeting appropriate food legislation namely that of USFDA, European Community, JECFA/CODEX, Japan, China or India.
Aluminium lakes are produced by the adsorption of water soluble dye onto a hydrated aluminium substrate rendering the color insoluble in water. The end product is colored either by dispersion of the lake into the product or by coating on to the surface of the product.
In general lakes are more stable than the corresponding water-soluble colors, producing brighter more vivid colors and are most suitable for products containing oils and fats, or products lacking sufficient moisture to dissolve Colors.
