* Neelikon offers many more food color blends than listed above.

These are a water insoluble form of water – soluble Colours used in food applications, producing brighter and more vivid colours.
Neelikon offers the complete range of Aluminium Lake colours made from primary food colours meeting appropriate food legislation namely that of European Community, JECFA/CODEX, Japan or India.
Aluminium Lakes are produced by the adsorption of Water Soluble dye onto a hydrated aluminium substrate rendering the colour insoluble in water. The end product is coloured either by dispersion of the Lake into the product or by coating on to the surface of the product.
In general lakes are more stable than the corresponding water-soluble Colours, producing brighter more vivid colours and are most suitable for products containing oils and fats, or products lacking sufficient moisture to dissolve Colours.
Beware that pure dye in Lakes in no way co-relates to the color value or colouring property/ability of the Lake. Since Lakes are pigments, their colouring is achieved through dispersion of tiny colour particles. The more finely ground the colour particles; the more effective a colour will be.
Neelikon offers an extremely high colour-value by ensuring minimum particle size with minimum degree of variance.
Since the colouring property of lakes is more dependent on the fineness of the lakes than the pure dye present, it is important to test the parameter of particle size before comparing prices. Greater fineness allows use of less colour to be used in an end product, thus resulting in substantial savings in cost.
We strongly believe by using NEELILAKES, you shall make substantial cost savings, as we give an extremely high colour value by offering an extremely ground product of extreme finesse.
Advantages & Limitations:(lakes v/s Colours)
- Stability to light - It is better than water soluble Colours.
- Stability to Acids and Alkalies - Satisfactory between pH 6-8.
- Solubility - Virtually insoluble in solvents and should have "minimum bleed" in water.
- Provided bright and vivid colours.
- Lakes are suitable for products containing oils and fats as well as those lacking sufficient moisture to dissolve Colours.
- Lack of interchangeability between colour suppliers, as minor batch to batch variation is common in pigments.
