Ajanta Food Colours is a leading company that manufactures high-quality Aluminum Lake Colours, also known as Lake Pigments from the last 75+ years. These Lake Colours are prepared through a process called 'lake formation,' in which FD&C Dyes (a water-soluble colorant) are precipitated onto an aluminum hydroxide substrate. This process results in the formation of insoluble lake pigments, which are subsequently dried and milled. Aluminium Lake Pigments provides more bright and vibrant colours to the products and are easily mixed with products that contain oils, sugars, and fats or products that lack sufficient moisture to dissolve colours. Aluminum Lake Colors are used in many applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Ajanta’s lake colours are not only beautiful but also provide true and clear shades of colours. The company is committed to delivering high colour value through precise control over particle size and consistency. This means you can achieve the same results with smaller quantities of Ajanta Food Colours compared to larger amounts of other well-known brands. This efficiency can lead to significant cost savings for product manufacturers. Ajanta Food Colours provides a wide range of premium Aluminium Lake Pigments such as Tartrazine Lake, Quinoline Yellow Lake, Sunset Yellow Lake, Ponceau 4R Lake, Carmoisine Lake, Amaranth Lake, Allura Red Lake, Erythrosine Lake, Indigo Carmine Lake, Brilliant Blue FCF Lake, Patent Blue V Lake, Brown HT Lake, Black PN Lake, and more.
