• Humidity Control: Store in cool, dry warehouses (relative humidity < 60%) to prevent moisture absorption and caking.

• Seal Integrity: Ensure container lids are tightly closed immediately after sampling to prevent cross-contamination.
Technical & Commercial FAQs
Essential compliance and technical information for international quality control and procurement departments.
Do you provide US FDA certified batch lots?
Yes. For exports to the United States, we manufacture colorants under strict GMP codes and facilitate official US FDA batch certification. Every consignment is shipped with its official FDA certificate and batch number.
What is the difference between water-soluble and Lake colors?
Water-soluble colors dissolve in water-based systems and are ideal for beverages, syrups, and dairy. Lake colors are water-insoluble aluminum lake pigments that disperse in fat and oil systems. They are perfect for chocolates, compound coatings, tablet compressions, and cosmetics.
What is the typical shelf life of your natural food colors?
Due to their organic origin, natural food colors have a shorter shelf life compared to synthetic grades. Annatto and Curcumin have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months, whereas synthetic food colors are stable for 36 to 60 months when stored under sealed, cool, and dark conditions.
What certifications are provided with each export consignment?
Each shipment is dispatched with a comprehensive document pack: Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing physical/chemical metrics, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Halal/Kosher certificate copies, Allergen statement, and GMO-free declarations.
