There are many ingredients and additives involved in the food industry, and food coloring agents are one of them. As a frequently consumed ingredient in the daily diet, it does not necessarily have nutritional value, but it must be non-toxic and harmless to the human body.

Natural colors have a very long history of use as food coloring agents. The safe, non-toxic and biologically active nature of natural pigments makes them a promising prospect in the food industry.
