Original title: Take you to understand food coloring
The three-character scripture says: green, red, yellow, and black and white.
In China, red yeast rice has been produced and used for more than 1,000 years.
Food coloring, also known as coloring agent, is a substance that imparts and improves the color of food, and is a food additive
Food natural colorants are mainly derived from natural pigments, which are divided into three types according to their sources: plant pigments such as capsicum red, turmeric, natural carotene, etc.
Edible synthetic colorants are divided into two types according to their chemical structure: azo pigments such as amaranth, carmine, sunset yellow, lemon yellow, etc.
Regardless of whether natural colorants or synthetic colorants are consumed, the state must conduct strict risk assessment on their safety.
