16 show preview: Gulfood
GNT: EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods
GNT Group showcased the benefits of EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods at Gulfood
Manufacturing 2019 – with an emphasis on interaction.
Exhibiting on Booth S1-B58, under the theme of ‘Love Color’, GNT gave
visitors the opportunity to add a range of EXBERRY ® colours to clear beverage
formulations so they can assess their visual impact first-hand.
EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods deliver on appearance, performance and clean label
appeal. They are obtained from fruits, vegetables and edible plants and made
using gentle, physical processes such as pressing, chopping, filtering and
concentrating, with no chemical solvents. Fully Halal-certified, they can impart
almost any color shade to beverages and are ideally suited for industrial use.
For food and beverage companies in the Gulf region, EXBERRY ® colors
are backed by GNT’s industry-leading customer service, with full technical
support provided throughout the product development process. This ensures
product formulation (or reformulation) with Coloring Foods is as smooth as
possible.
Santhosh Thankappan, Sales Director GNT Middle East, said: “Consumers in the Gulf region are becoming
more curious about how food and beverage products are manufactured. In turn, scrutiny of product labels and
ingredients lists is intensifying.”
He continued: “Against this backdrop, plant-based EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods offer cleaner, clearer and
simpler label declarations that are aligned with the preferences and priorities of today’s shoppers.” n
