Market Outlook:

Caramel is a confectionary product which is made by heating a variety of carbohydrates or sugars. The process of making a caramel is called as caramelization in which the sugar is slowly heated at 170 °C. Once the sugar gets heated the carbohydrates break down and form a new liquid compound with good flavor and color which is the caramel.

Caramel is used in a variety of confectioneries, desserts, and candies for its flavor. In order to enhance the color of the caramel, there are various types of caramel food coloring added to it. Among which sulphite ammonia caramel is widely used in the coloring of the caramel.

Sulphite ammonia caramel is prepared by heating sugar molecules along with ammonia or ammonium compounds and sulphite molecules, which will improve the color of the caramel product. In the 19th century, the sulphite ammonia caramel was first used as a food additive in the food and brewing industry in order to prepare soft drinks, coffee, chocolate syrups and beer.

Till date, the sulphite ammonia caramel is being used widely in the liquor industry which includes products like beer. Sulphite ammonia caramel possesses the same properties of acid-proof caramel and soft drink caramel. The sulphite ammonia caramel colorant has a large number of end users in the food and beverage industry and is expected to have a good growth in the upcoming years.

Growing demand for beverage stabilizer has led in increasing demand for sulphite ammonia caramel:

Sulphite ammonia caramel stays distinct for its mild flavor and aroma which is required the most in the food and beverage industry.
