4. INTRODUCTION
Producing pigments or colors for food and beverage industries is a difficult task as it is
necessary for the pigments to go well, first with the nutritional value and second with the
flavor of the food or drink. The cost of the pigment should not add more value to the cost of
the product. The pigment should be safe to consume. Highly regulated compounds should be
used for the production of food colours may that be inorganic or organic. There are strict and
safe guidelines regarding the usage of food colors by the European Food Standard Authority
(EFSA), United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The World Health Organization
(WHO). Food Colour Production industries also follow the FD&C (Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics)
regulatory standards of the market.

5. What are Inorganic Pigments?
Inorganic pigments are metallic salts and metals.
These dry ground minerals are not in the form of
carbon chains or rings. Their configuration makes them
more insoluble and more non-transparent than organic
pigments. They do not lose colour that easily and their
cost is cheap which is why they are fit for many
industrial applications.

6. Why Should YouUse Inorganic Pigments in
Food?
They are cost-effective when produced in large amounts for industrial purposes.
They do not fade when exposed to light, heat, and open air. They have strong resistance against it.
Simple chemical reactions are required for the production of inorganic pigments which also controls the cost of its
production.
When mixed with organic pigments they can produce bright colours.
They disperse well and are versatile which is why they can be applied in foods and beverages.
They make foods and beverages more attractive and appealing.
They are available in different forms such as liquid, powder, and granules.
Principal regulatory authorities have sanctioned inorganic pigments as food additives.
