LycoRed Tomat-O-Red vegetarian red colourant range

Thursday, 27 June, 2013


LycoRed has developed a range of vegetarian red colourants as part of its Tomat-O-Red line of tomato lycopene colour for various food and beverage applications.

The formulations are claimed to provide a deeper red lycopene colour with blue background, similar to shades from carmine. This makes them a natural solution for food manufacturers wanting to replace the insect-derived cochineal extract in their formulations.

The Tomat-O-Red lycopene colourant formulations are available in liquid forms, and are free from any allergenic components, as listed in the EU’s Directive 2007/68/EC and those identified in the USA’s Food Allergen Labelling and Consumer Protection Act of 2 August, 2004.

The formulations have a high stability across a wide range of pH levels, light conditions, high temperatures and also in the presence of vitamin C.
