Sensient Colors LLC, a business unit of Sensient Technologies Corp., released a line of palm-free natural colors to enhance its library of sustainable and environmentally friendly natural colors. These new natural colors are free of all palm-derived components, including the active pigment. In extensive stability testing, the new palm-free natural colors proved to be very well-protected against color degradation and, from a coloring perspective, look similar to natural colors in shade and appearance, the company says.
