Kentucky-based ingredients manufacturer D.D. Williamson has made its caramel colouring agent available to consumers. Hitherto sold exclusively to food technologists in the food manufacturing industry and the foodservice sector, the colour can now be used by individual consumers in their food preparation at home.
D.D. Williamson claims the advantage its caramel colour has over agents conventionally deployed to achieve a dark brown colour in food, such as molasses, instant coffee, soy sauce or cocoa powder, is that its caramel colour has no discernible taste. It is also very low in calories and salt, instantly soluble in water and stable at high temperatures.
