GNT has expanded its EXBERRY\u00ae<\/sup> portfolio with the introduction of a new water-dispersible paprika emulsion, marking the company\u2019s first venture into this specific colouring format. The development addresses the growing technical challenges faced by food manufacturers seeking clean-label orange colour solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Technical specifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new EXBERRY Shade Vivid Orange, developed from non-GMO paprika, demonstrates high colour intensity characteristics that enable efficient application at reduced usage levels. This attribute positions it as a cost-effective alternative for manufacturers seeking to replace synthetic colorants or traditional paprika oleoresin emulsions.<\/p>\n

Regulatory considerations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From a regulatory perspective, the ingredient\u2019s classification varies by region. In the European Union and China, it can be declared as \u201cpaprika oil\u201d, whilst Australian and New Zealand regulations permit the description \u201cpaprika oil emulsion\u201d. US manufacturers can list it as \u201cpaprika (colour)\u201d on their ingredients declarations.<\/p>\n

Processing methodology<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A key differentiator of the new offering lies in its manufacturing process. The colour is produced using physical processing methods, deliberately avoiding chemical solvents. This approach has significant implications for its regulatory status, as it allows the ingredient to be classified as a food ingredient rather than an additive in numerous jurisdictions, eliminating the need for E-number declarations.<\/p>\n

Application versatility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The water-dispersible format complements GNT\u2019s existing oil-soluble variant, providing manufacturers with comprehensive solutions for both water- and fat-based systems. The ingredient demonstrates particular utility in confectionery, dairy, bakery, and plant-based meat applications, where it can effectively replace both paprika oleoresin emulsion (E 160c) and Sunset Yellow (E 110).<\/p>\n

Supply chain integrity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The development aligns with increasing industry focus on supply chain transparency and sustainability. GNT\u2019s paprika supply chain operates through established contract farming partnerships, ensuring complete traceability of raw materials. As Product Manager Frank Engel explains: \u201cThere is growing global demand for cost-effective, high-performing colouring ingredients that deliver bright orange hues. We are delighted to now be able to provide an ideal solution in EXBERRY Shade Vivid Orange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustainability credentials<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ingredient\u2019s development reflects GNT\u2019s broader commitment to sustainable production practices. The company\u2019s approach encompasses both agricultural partnerships and processing methodologies, with the new product adhering to GNT\u2019s established sustainability framework while maintaining the technical performance parameters required by food manufacturers.<\/p>\n

The introduction of EXBERRY Shade Vivid Orange represents a significant addition to the clean-label toolbox available to food scientists and product developers working across multiple food categories. Its launch addresses specific technical challenges in achieving bright orange shades while maintaining clean label declarations, particularly in applications where water dispersibility is crucial.<\/p>\n
