Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Is Plum Purple coloring fat-soluble, as needed for chocolate?
No. It is a water-soluble liquid coloring (water- and glycerin-based): it is suitable for buttercream, icing, fondant and ganache, but does not mix with couverture chocolate or pure fat. To color chocolate, use a fat-soluble powdered coloring.
What is the maximum recommended dosage for Plum Purple?
The maximum recommended usage level is 8.4 g/kg. Adjust gradually using the dropper tip to control the shade's intensity.
Does Plum Purple require any special precautions?
Yes: it contains E122 (azorubine), a coloring subject to the EU regulatory warning about children's activity and attention. Check the product label before using it in a preparation intended for children.
How do I apply Plum Purple coloring without making the mixture set?
Add the coloring drop by drop directly to the mixture after it has been prepared (buttercream, icing, fondant), mixing between each addition rather than pouring in the whole amount at once.
