Amaranth Lake
Amaranth Lake Food Color Supplier & Distributor
Advik Colors is a leading Indian manufacturer of Amaranth Lake, specializing in high-purity insoluble dark red lake pigments for global B2B export and regulatory-compliant industrial applications.
Amaranth Lake Food Color is an insoluble aluminium-based pigment derived from Amaranth dye, developed to deliver consistent red colour in formulations where water-soluble colours are unsuitable. The lake format allows the pigment to remain firmly embedded within the product structure, ensuring precise colour placement and preventing bleeding or uneven spread.
Manufactured through a tightly controlled lake-forming process, this colour offers uniform particle size, reliable opacity and stable shade output. The production method is designed to maintain colour integrity under heat exposure, light contact and extended storage, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Amaranth Lake Food Color blends efficiently into oils, fats, sugar coatings and dry mixes without affecting taste, aroma or texture. Each batch is evaluated against defined quality benchmarks to ensure repeatable performance and regulatory readiness. Packed in sealed, moisture-resistant containers, the product is suitable for bulk handling, long shelf life and international distribution, supporting manufacturers and exporters with consistent, dependable supply.
