Natural pigment as food colorants
Chapter 2
1
Reason to use food additives• Main attributes of food: color, flavor, texture
• Color associated with food safety, quality and good processing

Color additives by the food industry
1. Restore the original food appearance,
2. Ensure color uniformity,
3. Intensify colors normally found in food,
4. Protect other components (such as antioxidants),
5. Obtain the best food appearance,
6. Preserve characteristics associated with food, and
7. Help as a visual characteristic of food quality.
It is important to mention that colorants must never beused to cover up bad processing or manipulation asstrategies in food production

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) is an international expert scientific committee that is administered jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Certified color
Synthetic colorants, which must be subjected to “batch certification” to
detect and limit toxic impurities (residual contaminants, heavy metals,
pesticides, and unreacted contaminants..) before using. It cannot be used
in foods and must be stored separately from certified batches until
certification is complete.
Dyes : dissolve in water, manufactured as a powder, granule, or liquid
used in aqueous beverages, dry mixes, confections, and dairy products.
Lakes: prepared by precipitating the soluble synthetic dye onto an
approved insoluble base or substratum (For FD&C colors, the base is
aluminum hydroxide), which is then dried and ground to appropriate
fineness, insoluble in most nonaqueous solvents, provide opacity, high
stability to heat and light suitable for fats, gums, waxes, oils, and food-
packaging materials.

Currently, both certified and exempt color additives are subject to
the same toxicological requirements. To obtain FDA approval of a
pigment, the following toxicological studies must be carried out:
1. A subchronic study. A nonrodent species, usually dog, is fed
during 90 days.
2. An assay of acute toxicity in rats.
3. A chronic study. At least two animal species are fed during at
least 24 to 30 months.
4. A teratology study.
5. A multigeneration reproduction study using mice.
6. An in vitro mutagenicity test

ADI: an acceptable daily intake
NOAEL: no observed adverse effect level (result of long-term (chronic) animal in vivo studies
FACTOR : the safety or uncertainty factor = 100
