Natural red without the bugs? Chr Hansen develops fermentation-derived carmine

2015-06-23 13:11:11| Chemicals - Topix.net

Carmine is safe, natural and effective for producing red, orange, purple and pink shades - but companies have been under pressure to replace it Danish ingredients firm Chr Hansen claims it has produced carmine through fermentation, meaning a cheaper, vegetarian, halal and kosher version of the natural red colouring could be just a few years from commercial use. Along with researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark, Chr Hansen says it has managed to produce carmine through the fermentation of various production organisms, and the company is now filing patents to protect the technology.
