Physical & Chemical Properties :

- Colour Strength

Caramel ColorCaramel Colours strength is defined as its Tinctorial Power, KO.56. Tinctorial power is the absorbance of a 0.1% weight / volume solution. It is measured through a 1 cm light path at a wavelength of 560 nanometers (nm). The weight/ volume is measured using a high quality spectrophotometer. Higher the value of the absorbance, darker is the Caramel Color.

Color tone is also an important factor. The colour tone is defined by the Hue Index that is the measurement of the colour hue or red characteristics of the Caramel Colour, a function of the absorbance at 510 and 610 nm. As a fact, the higher the Tinctorial Power, lower will be the Hue Index and the lower will be the red tones.


Specific Gravity
The specific gravity of our caramel colour ranges from 1.25 - 1.38 pounds/ gallon that corresponds to a range of about 10.4 - 11.5 pounds/gallon. The corresponding dry substance content of the liquid caramel color ranges from 50% - 70%.
