Lycored, a global leader in naturally derived carotenoids, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a vibrant innovation: the launch of three superstable, nature-based color emulsions. Introduced at the IFT FIRST Annual Event and Expo in Chicago, these new offerings represent a significant expansion of Lycored’s portfolio of clean-label, plant-based color solutions.
For three decades, Lycored has been at the forefront of unlocking nature’s potential to enhance food, beverage, and supplement products. The company’s commitment to science-backed, nature-based ingredients has made it a trusted partner for brands seeking vibrant, stable, and health-conscious alternatives to synthetic colors.
The newly launched emulsions—StellarYellow A, StellarYellow C Clear, and OrangeOvation C Clear—are designed to meet the growing demand for clean-label ingredients that perform reliably across challenging applications. These colors are ideal for:
Each emulsion offers long shelf life, taste neutrality, and vibrant, clear hues that serve as natural replacements for synthetic colors like Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 3, and Red 40.
As consumer preferences shift toward transparency and wellness, Lycored’s new emulsions provide manufacturers with a powerful tool to meet regulatory and market demands. These nature-based solutions are not only visually appealing but also align with the clean-label movement, offering a wholesome alternative to synthetic additives.
The launch is part of Lycored’s “Time to Shine” campaign, celebrating the company’s legacy and future in color innovation. Megan Dunn, Senior Manager of Global Marketing, emphasized Lycored’s role as a pioneer:
“At a time when food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly turning to nature-based solutions, our portfolio meets demand for high quality, clean label ingredients that deliver superior performance and stability compared with synthetic alternatives.”
