Lime is an oil-soluble food coloring by Colour Mill in a 100 ml size, the large format in the range designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is intended more for occasional use. Its bright, tangy lime-green shade blends directly into fatty preparations without affecting their texture or setting.
How many drops should I use to achieve the Lime shade?
Use about four to six drops per 100 g of fat for a vivid Lime shade. Gradually mix it into melted chocolate or warm buttercream, stirring between each addition.
Is this Lime colorant suitable for fondant or royal icing?
Lime is an oil-based colorant formulated for fatty preparations: melted white, dark or milk chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache and buttercream. It is not designed for water-based preparations such as royal icing or fondant worked with water, in which it will not disperse properly: reserve it for fatty bases, particularly for summer desserts and tangy tropical decorations.
Is Lime colorant heat-resistant?
As an oil-based colorant, Lime is designed to be added while warm to melted chocolate or warm ganache without affecting the setting or texture, making it suitable for summer desserts and tangy tropical decorations.
