Caramel (color)

Description:
Caramel color, identified by the CAS number 8028-89-5, is a widely used food coloring derived from the heating of carbohydrates, typically sugars, in the presence of acids, alkalis, or salts. This process, known as caramelization, results in a range of brown hues, making caramel color a versatile additive in various food and beverage products. It is classified as a natural colorant and is commonly found in soft drinks, sauces, baked goods, and confectionery. Caramel color is categorized into four classes (Class I to IV) based on its production method and properties, with each class having distinct characteristics and applications. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used within specified limits. The substance is soluble in water and exhibits stability under a variety of pH conditions, although its color intensity can vary depending on the concentration and formulation. Overall, caramel color serves not only as a coloring agent but also contributes to the flavor profile of many products.
