Frequently asked questions
How can Purple be adjusted from deep purple to light lavender?
The dosage directly controls the intensity: a small amount produces lavender purple, while a larger amount produces a deep, rich purple.
Can this colorant be used in chocolate or a fat-based preparation?
No. This colorant is water-soluble: it is formulated for water-based preparations (icings, creams, sugar paste). A fat-soluble colorant is required for chocolate or cocoa butter.
How much should be used for a strong shade?
This colorant is highly concentrated: start with a small pinch or a few tenths of a gram, then gradually adjust according to the desired intensity, within the regulatory dosage limit indicated on the label.
