Lake Brilliant Blue Food Color (Oil Soluble, Powder Form) - 10kg Drum

Lake Brilliant Blue is an oil-soluble powder color in a 10kg drum designed for confectionery, coatings, bakery fats, and snack applications.

It is a concentrated, oil-soluble powdered food color formulated for industrial and professional food applications. Supplied in a 10kg drum, this form is intended for manufacturers, bakeries, chocolatiers, and snack producers who need a reliable, vivid blue pigment that performs well in fat-containing systems and specialty coatings.

Key Benefits

• Oil-soluble: Designed specifically for products with oils, fats, or chocolate bases where water-soluble dyes won’t disperse evenly.

• Strong tinting strength: Small dosage delivers intense color, reducing the amount needed per batch.

• Powder form (dry): Easy to store, transport, and meter into mixing lines or pre-weighing operations.

• Good heat stability: Maintains color under normal processing temperatures used for baking, enrobing, and frying.

• Consistent results: Manufactured to industrial specifications to produce repeatable shades batch after batch.

Typical Applications

• Chocolate enrobing and fillings

• Compound coatings and candy shells

• Fat-based fillings, creams, and ganaches

• Shortenings and fat spreads where oil compatibility is required

• Snack seasonings and surface coatings where an oil carrier is present

• Specialty bakery decorations (pipings using fat-based bases)

• Ice cream coatings and compound coatings (when formulated correctly)

Technical & Usage Guidelines

• Formulation base: Because the color is oil-soluble, blend directly into the fat or oil phase of your formulation (e.g., melted chocolate, compound coating, or shortening) for best dispersion.

• Dosage: Typical starting usage ranges from 0.02% to 0.25% of the finished product weight depending on desired shade and vehicle. Start with a low trial dose (e.g., 0.02–0.05%) and increase gradually. Perform bench trials to determine the optimal level.

• Dispersion method: Premix the powder into the warm fat (at or slightly above working temperature) using high-shear mixing or a homogenizer for uniform color. For small trials, powdered color can be made into a paste with a neutral oil before adding to the main batch.

• pH and stability: Lake pigments are generally more stable to pH changes than some water-soluble dyes, but always test in your final formulation.

• Color shifts: Expect potential slight shade changes after heat processing or upon cooling — validate final color in finished product conditions (cooled, baked, or aged if applicable).

Storage & Shelf Life

• Packaging: 10kg drum, sealed to protect from moisture.

• Storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideal storage: 5–25°C (41–77°F).

• Shelf life: Typical shelf life is 12–36 months depending on manufacturer specifications and storage; confirm specific expiry from supplier and perform periodic quality checks.

Safety & Regulatory Notes

• Food-grade status: Ensure you receive a certificate of analysis (COA) and regulatory compliance documentation from your supplier stating the color’s food-grade approval in your target markets.

• Allergens: Verify the product’s allergen statement and cross-contamination controls with the supplier.

• Handling: Use dust control measures and appropriate PPE (mask, goggles, gloves) when handling powder to avoid inhalation and dust dispersion. Implement standard good manufacturing practices (GMP).

Quality Control & Testing

• Request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch to confirm identity, purity, and tinting strength.

• Run bench trials to test color performance under your exact processing conditions (temperature, pH, fat content).

• Check for color migration, heat discoloration, and flavor impact at production scale.

Packaging & Bulk Supply

• The 10kg drum is designed for medium-to-large production runs. For larger needs, confirm availability of 25kg or palletized drums.

• Ask the supplier about customized packaging options (inner liners, nitrogen flush) to extend shelf life or ease handling.

Tips for Best Results

1. Pre-dilute for even spread: Make a concentrated paste with a neutral oil at the target usage concentration to reduce dusting and ensure uniform addition.

2. Temperature control: Add color to warm but not excessively hot fats to prevent thermal degradation.

3. Trial small batches: Always validate color in a small pilot run before scaling to full production.

4. Document recipes: Record exact usage and process conditions for repeatability across batches.

Who Should Use This Product?

• Confectionery manufacturers producing coated chocolates, candies, and shells.

• Bakeries and industrial pastry producers needing oil-compatible colors.

• Snack producers applying colored oil-based seasonings or coatings.

• Private label and wholesale food manufacturers aiming for reliable color performance at scale.
