Watson Inc. Develops Edible Glitter Nature Colors

Natural colors are derived from cabbage juice, algae, carrots, radish, turmeric and annatto.

Watson Inc. introduced a line of Edible Glitter products to meet the growing demand for clean labeling for what is considered “natural” colors. Edible Glitter Nature Colors is made from gum arabic (the sap of the Acacia tree) and color. Watson uses colors from a wide range of sources, including cabbage juice, algae, carrots, radish, turmeric and annatto.
 
Edible Glitter is used as a sprinkle, topping or inclusion. It can be used in confectionery products, baked goods, frostings, and more. Edible Glitter Nature Color has the added benefit of being unflavored or flavor-neutral and containing no sugar, artificial sweeteners, fats, or hydrogenated vegetable oils.
 
Edible Glitter is a unique, light-weight flake that provides excellent coverage as a topping, allowing a 95% reduction in usage by weight (compared to typical sprinkles or “shots”). The light-weight flakes adhere readily to a variety of surfaces. In frosted baked goods, the amount of frosting required for adhesion of the topping can also be reduced substantially.
