Colors enhanced with

natural goodness
NATRACOL
Keeping up with the global trends in the food industry towards natural, healthier
ingredients, ROHA’s Natracol range focuses on manufacturing natural colors from a variety
of natural sources like fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers and algae. Being at the forefront of
this transformation, we efficiently address the growing market demand to present a
portfolio of natural colors that covers clients’ requirements. The Natracol range comes with
the promise of ROHA’s more than four decades of expertise in customer service and
quality, which are aligned with international standards.

NATRACOL PRODUCT RANGE

ANNATTO INS160b
SHADE
Annatto color ranges from yellow to orange. It is extracted from the bixa orellana L. shrub
and its main pigments are Norbixin (water soluble) and Bixin (oil soluble). This color is
highly stable to light and heat. Annatto precipitates at acidic pH but acid-proof versions are
also available within the ROHA range.

ANTHOCYANIN INS163
SHADE
Anthocyanin can be found in over 300 varieties in red to blue colors. Being a rich source of
polyphenols, they have a number of health benefits, too. Anthocyanins are natural pH
indicators, changing from a strawberry red at pH 3 to a deeper blue-red as the pH
increases. ROHA has a wide range of sources of Anthocyanin such as black carrots,
elderberry, purple sweet potato, red radish and many more.

BEETROOT RED INS162

SHADE
Beetroot Red is obtained by concentrating and pasteurizing the extracted beetroot juice
directly obtained from the root of the vegetable Beta vulgaris. Betanins are the group of
pigments that are responsible for the red to pink shades of beet juice which are highly
stable to light and pH. This water soluble pigment is utilised across multiple food
applications from dairy to confectionery. Roha also has a specialised red beet product
with high resistance to heat.
BETA-CAROTENES/CAROTENE INS160a
SHADE
Carotenoids are the primary source of yellow, orange and red colors of many fruit and
vegetables. The variations of concentration, proportion and chemical structure of
carotenoids influence its end application in various food products. ROHA can provide all
types of beta-carotene from natural identical, to fungal and plant options. Paprika,
lycopene, lutein, orange carrot and saffron contain different types of carotenoids that are
used as natural food colors.

CARAMEL INS150a-d
SHADE
Caramel colors are derived by controlled heating of carbohydrates. There are four different
types of Caramel, distinguished by the way they are processed – Class I (150a), Class II
(150b), Class III (150c) and Class IV (150d).
Class I (Plain) Caramel colors are produced using only caramelization reactions. Class II, III,
and IV Caramel colors are obtained by caramelization and maillard browning reactions along
with food grade nitrogen and/or sulfur, which contain ingredients that provide darker colors,
as well as increase its stability. These colors have excellent heat, light and pH stability.

CANTHAXANTIN INS161g
SHADE
Canthaxanthin is a carotenoid that occurs naturally in some fishes (salmon and trout), fungi,
crustacean and flamingo feathers. It demonstrates good stability to light, heat and pH.

VEGETABLE CARBON INS153

SHADE
CarboVegetabilis (or Carbon Black) is made from fine particles of carbonized vegetable
material. Its shades range from grey to black and offers excellent pH, light and heat
stability. ROHA offers two variants of this product - water dispersible suspension (paste)
and powder form.

CHLOROPHYLL AND CHLOROPHYLLIN/COPPER

COMPLEXES INS140/INS141
SHADE
Chlorophyll (E140 (i)) is an oil-soluble green pigment found in leaves, grass, and vegetables
capable of photosynthesis. It imparts an olive green color. The addition of copper, results in
Copper Chlorophyll [E141 (i)], that is rendered water soluble to obtain Copper Chlorophyllin
[E141(ii)], which provides a green-blue to green color. It has high stability towards light and
heat. ROHA also offers acid-proof versions.
COCHINEAL/CARMINE INS120
SHADE
Cochineal extract is a natural red dye, which is extracted from dried bodies of female insect
Dactylopius coccus Costa. Carmine is obtained by aqueous extract of the cochineal extract.
The main coloring pigment in both the colors is Carminic Acid. These products have
excellent light and heat stability. Blending with yellow and orange colorants can create
more shades of red.

CURCUMIN INS100
SHADE
Curcumin is obtained by solvent extraction of turmeric root i.e. ground rhizomes of
Curcuma longa. L. Besides its excellent coloring characteristics, curcumin also displays
anti-oxidant properties. Turmeric has a bright yellow to greenish yellow hue and is highly
tolerant to heat and pH extremes.

IRON OXIDES INS172

SHADE
Iron Oxides are naturally occurring pigments, ranging from black, yellow, red and brown in
color. They impart a pastel shade as opposed to some of the brighter and cleaner shades
imparted by other colors. These pigments are excellent replacements for synthetic colors as
they demonstrate high stability and consistent shades.

LUTEIN INS161b
SHADE
Lutein is a yellow colored carotenoid, which is extracted from marigold flowers (Tagetes
erecta). These flowers are grown abundantly throughout South America and Asia.This color
demonstrates good stability to light, heat and pH. It is also consumed as a functional food
due to its antioxidant properties. The range of yellow color offered by Natracol can be
expanded by blending with other colors, such as green and red.

LYCOPENE INS160d
SHADE
Lycopene is a natural red food color that belongs to the carotenoid group. It is obtained
from tomatoes by fermentation or synthesis, and is strongly associated with health benefits
due to its antioxidant properties. It demonstrates good stability to light and heat. The
typical applications for lycopene include milk beverages and shakes, bakery, meat
analogues, soups, sauces, and nutraceuticals.
PAPRIKA OLEORESIN INS160c/PAPRIKA EXTRACT
INS 160c(ii)
SHADE
Paprika, derived from dried ground fruit pods of Capsicum annuum, gets its color from
capsanthin and capsorubin – the coloring pigments. Paprika oleoresin is obtained through
flavoring and coloring principles combined by extraction upon using solvents that are
eventually removed. Both, Paprika and Paprika Oleoresin are stable to heat and sensitive to
light and pH conditions. They are water insoluble. ROHA offers an enhanced quality of
Paprika with higher stability to light.

RIBOFLAVIN INS101
SHADE
Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, can be used to fortify food. It is obtained from milk,
cheese, green leafy vegetables, liver, yeast, almonds and mature soybeans, by fermentation
or by synthesis. Exposure to light can destroy Riboflavin in natural sources and cause
fading. It can be difficult to incorporate Riboflavin into many liquid products as it has poor
solubility. As an alternative, E101a boflavin-5-Phosphate is a better soluble form of
Riboflavin.

TITANIUM DIOXIDE INS171

SHADE
Titanium Dioxide is manufactured from Ilmenite and Rutile ores. It is a brilliant white
pigment that can be applied to food, drugs and cosmetics. Titanium Dioxide pigments are
inert and thus have excellent light, heat and pH stability. They are also used to add opacity
to products. Its liquid form is easier to incorporate into products. ROHA offers a special
formulation of Titanium Dioxide Dispersion that does not present sedimentation during
storage of color.
