The colorful world of food

In the world of food today, manufacturers are on the lookout for sustainable and natural food solutions to satisfy consumers. Products derived from natural sources are becoming increasingly important, and both LINABLUE® and Earthrise® Spirulina from Nordmann partner Sun Chemical are two excellent examples of innovative products that harness the power of nature while making the food industry shine.

Colors influence our emotions and moods and can be used deliberately to convey specific messages. Sun Chemical offers a wide range of color options for almost all segments of the food industry.

Earthrise® Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green microalgae. It produces a dark green color (Chlorophyll a), is partially soluble in water and rich in protein, fiber, calcium, beta-carotene and iron.

 

Possible applications include:

  • Shakes (e.g. protein shakes)
