MEATS
Consumer food choices and eating desires are often affected by the color of the meat and seafood products. The proper color shade of meat products is valuable for consumers when it comes to freshness. Stability to heat and light, pH sensitivity and interaction with oxygen are some of the challenges in the field of natural colorant development. Coloring foods can be tricky to use in meat applications due to the meat matrices characteristics, processing conditions, and regulatory restrictions. ROHA’s meat scientists are experienced to provide you the optimum natural color packages for meat and meat analogue applications.
