Natural colors are food colorants derived from natural sources such as plants, fruits, vegetables, and minerals. Unlike synthetic dyes, these colors are extracted using various methods, including pressing, boiling, and fermentation, to maintain the integrity of their natural properties. They are commonly used in the food and beverage industry to enhance the visual appeal of products while meeting consumer demand for clean-label ingredients.
