Your questions, our advice
Is this food colouring heat-resistant?
Yes, the colour remains stable up to 180 °C and does not lighten after baking, unlike many conventional liquid food colourings.
How many drops for 250 g of mixture?
Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vibrant shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the colour gradually.
There is separation in the 20 ml bottle. Is this normal?
Yes, slight separation between the pigment and carrier liquid is normal during prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
