Lycored Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary with Nature-Inspired Colors at IFT FIRST

Lycored Celebrates 30 Years of Color Innovations at IFT FIRST

Lycored, a global leader in naturally-derived carotenoids for food products, beverages, and dietary supplements, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in the industry with the unveiling of three new super-stable color emulsions at the annual IFT FIRST event in Chicago.

Since its inception in 1995, Lycored has consistently advanced its reputation by harnessing nature’s gifts to develop innovative solutions that empower brands to create appealing food, beverage, and nutraceutical products. The new offerings serve to showcase the capability of natural ingredients to meet growing consumer demand for healthier choices, especially in a climate where synthetic additives are increasingly scrutinized.

As part of its anniversary festivities, Lycored is promoting its "Time to Shine" campaign, introducing three new natural color emulsions that promise reliable performance and extended shelf life across various applications. These colors are particularly suited for use in products like UHT dairy, plant-based beverages, gummies, sauces, and fruit preparations, and they serve as natural alternatives to synthetic colors like Yellow 5 and 6.

The new vibrant hues include StellarYellow A, which excels in juices and concentrates; StellarYellow C Clear, offering a brilliant touch to transparent drinks and gummies; and OrangeOvation C Clear, known for its long shelf life and clarity in various applications. These emulsions complement an established range of red solutions derived from lycopene, presenting ideal replacements for Red 3 and 40.

Megan Dunn, Global Senior Marketing Manager at Lycored, remarked, “Over the past 30 years, Lycored has emerged as a trusted leader in natural colors. As food and beverage manufacturers increasingly turn to sustainable solutions, our product portfolio meets the demand for high-quality, clean-label ingredients that outperform synthetic alternatives. With the introduction of these three top-tier natural color emulsions, it's truly our moment to shine.”

At stand number 1437 during the IFT FIRST event, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the wide array of color solutions offered by Lycored through hands-on demonstrations and sensory experiences.
