E150d Caramel Color for Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Choose from liquid and powder E150d grades for industrial coloring applications. Compare absorbance, red index and pH ranges, then request samples and technical documents for evaluation in your formulation.
Share your application, product pH, target shade and estimated volume to help us identify a suitable starting grade.
Essential E150d Product Information
E150d is a Class IV caramel color, also known as sulfite ammonia caramel. It is produced by the controlled heat treatment of food-grade carbohydrates in the presence of both sulfite and ammonium compounds. It is supplied as a dark liquid or solid color ingredient for industrial food and beverage formulations.
Choose an E150d Grade
Compare available absorbance, red index and pH ranges, then select suitable starting grades for application testing in your formulation.
Liquid E150d Grades
Liquid grades are available in two absorbance ranges. Select a starting grade based on the target shade and formulation conditions, then confirm performance through an application trial.
| Model | Designation | Absorbance E 0.1% at 610 nm | Red Index | pH Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DS001 | E150d | 0.260–0.270 | ≥ 4.0 | 2.80–3.20 |
| DS002 | E150d | 0.418–0.456 | ≥ 4.0 | 2.80–3.20 |
Powder E150d Grades
Powder grades cover multiple absorbance ranges for manufacturers that prefer a dry-format color ingredient. The appropriate grade and dosage should be verified in the customer’s own process.
| Model | Designation | Absorbance E 0.1% at 610 nm | Red Index | pH Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PD001 | E150d | 0.390–0.446 | ≥ 3.80 | 4.0–6.0 |
| PD002 | E150d | 0.532–0.608 | ≥ 3.70 | 4.0–6.0 |
| PD003 | E150d | 0.304–0.342 | ≥ 3.80 | 4.0–6.0 |
| PD005 | E150d | 0.175–0.205 | ≥ 4.00 | 4.0–6.0 |
Specifications shown are typical ranges from the current product brochure. Final specifications and test methods are subject to the product TDS and batch COA. Higher absorbance generally indicates greater color intensity only when values are compared using the same test method.
Evaluate E150d in Your Product System
Start with the two application groups confirmed in the current product brochure, then verify grade performance in the finished formulation.
For Soy Sauce and Sauce Manufacturing
Evaluate E150d grades for the target brown shade and batch-to-batch appearance of soy sauce and other sauce systems. Grade selection should consider the product pH, salt level, heat process, target color and current dosage.
For Cola, Black Tea and Soft Drinks
Compare liquid E150d grades for beverage color development and application testing. Share whether the beverage is carbonated or non-carbonated, its pH, heat treatment and target shade so compatibility can be evaluated before scale-up.
Final grade suitability and dosage should be confirmed through testing in the customer’s own formulation and process conditions.
