Carmine (E120) is a natural red colorant obtained from cochineal and one of the most stable natural red colours available. It offers excellent resistance to heat, light and oxygen and delivers shades from pink to deep red, depending on the formulation and pH. Carmine is used in confectionery, dairy products, ice cream, meat products, beverages and bakery decorations, where other natural reds may fade during processing or storage. As it is of animal origin, it is not suitable for vegan products. Roeper supplies carmine with full documentation and support in selecting the right form for your product.
