Colour stabilisation/optimisation

In the current strongly competitive food world, every product must be shown to its best advantage to win the attention of the end-consumer and end up in the shopping trolley. Apart from quality and functionality, appearance also plays a decisive role

KolorFox®

Colour enhancement and product protection

The meat industry is not alone in its preference for an intense natural red colour. The consumer too often associates this colour with high quality and freshness. Sweets, dairy products or meat products – a new fresh colour is available for them all with KolorFox®.

The challenge as exemplified by raw sausage:
Raw sausage, such as salami, was formerly and still is produced in the classic variant with sow's meat. By reason of the animals' age, this meat has a natural bright red colour, and salami produced with this meat also has an intense red coloration. The usual practice today of rearing young pigs does not produce meat of the same quality (red colour) as sow's meat; instead the meat has a much lighter colour, and as a result, the salami produced from this meat  is much paler. As a strong red colour is a sign of quality, a light-coloured salami is less attractive in the eyes of the consumer.

However, KolorFox® RW can be used to produce a bright red salami from light-coloured meat, without any declarable E numbers.

The following variants are available:

  • KolorFox® RW is ideal for all raw sausage and pork mince specialities, e.g. salami, fresh bratwurst sausage and pork mince. The result is a much more consistent, natural red colour in the product, without declarable E numbers.
  • KolorFox® CPS for boiled sausage products, raw sausage products, liver sausage, fish, sweets, meat salads and yoghurt also gives the item a much more consistent red colour, and is heat-stable too.
  • KolorFox® C for boiled sausage products, raw sausage products, liver sausage, sweets, meat salads and yoghurt gives a heat-stable red colour.
