Product description

As a general rule, caramel is made by heating sugar without a reaction accelerator and has a sweetish taste. The production of caramel coloring, on the other hand, calls for the use of various additives, such as sodium hydroxide or acids, with the result that the final product tastes rather bitter. The various types of caramel coloring serve as brown to black food colorings and are used mainly in drinks, spirits, sauces and confectionery.
