Fractal - Gel Food Coloring
30 g Gel Food Coloring - Black
Highly concentrated deep black gel food coloring, with no azo dye warning.
Black is a highly concentrated black gel food coloring from the Hungarian brand Fractal, packaged in a 30 g squeeze tube. Its color comes from vegetable charcoal, a natural coloring agent that distinguishes it from the other shades in the range: it is the only one that carries no warning related to azo dyes.

Recommended uses
- Marzipan, fondant, and sugar paste
- Royal icing and creams, without changing their texture
- Cookie and macaron dough, withstands baking
- Can be mixed cold with other Fractal Full-Fill shades
- Ideal base under a Fractal MetallInk or SuPearl metallic finish
Please note: incorporate the gel in small amounts into already well-kneaded dough and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes: the vegetable charcoal continues to darken slightly after incorporation; adding too much too quickly results in a dull gray rather than an intense black. Store away from light.

Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't this black carry the warning about children's attention?
Its color comes from vegetable charcoal E153, a coloring agent not covered by the regulations governing azo dyes (E102, E104, E110, E122, E124, E129); it is the only color in the Fractal Full-Fill range in this case.
How can I achieve a deep black without it turning gray?
Incorporate the gel in small amounts into already well-kneaded dough, then let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes: the vegetable charcoal continues to darken slightly after incorporation.
Does this coloring withstand baking?
Yes, the glycerol E422 base withstands oven heat; it can be used in cookie and macaron dough without color loss.
