Technical & procurement detail
What Caramel Colour Class IV is and what it does+
Class IV caramel colour is produced by heating carbohydrate with sulphite and ammonium compounds. It is negatively charged and is the standard brown colour for acidic soft drinks.
Charge class must match the system+
Caramel classes differ in ionic charge, and mixing a colour of the wrong charge with oppositely charged ingredients such as proteins or hydrocolloids causes flocculation and sediment. Confirm the class against your matrix.
4-MEI limits differ by market+
Class III and IV caramels carry 4-methylimidazole limits that are regulated differently across jurisdictions, including state-level rules in some markets. Confirm the applicable limit and require lot data.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
