Lime Gel Food Color, 100 ml

A Vivid Lime Shade Built for Pastry and Beverage Production

Lime Gel Food Color, 100 ml, belongs to the category Gel Food Coloring, which sees steady demand primarily from the confectionery and food processing industry. The thick gel texture delivers a bright green shade with a slight yellow undertone without altering the consistency of cream, fondant or dough, making the product convenient both for home bakers and for small pastry studios handling a steady flow of orders.

The main application of this color lies in decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies and desserts. It performs well in buttercream and meringue-based frostings, royal icing, fondant, chocolate glaze, marshmallow and nougat. Thanks to its concentrated formula, only a small amount is needed to achieve a saturated color, typically from a few drops up to one or two grams per 100-200 grams of base, with exact dosage adjusted through testing depending on the desired intensity and type of base. The colorant is introduced during mixing or whipping, and the base temperature should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius to preserve the brightness of the shade.

Beyond confectionery, gel colors of this type are widely used in soft drinks, liqueurs, jelly products and ice cream, where color stability during storage and resistance to shifts in acidity matter greatly. For layered multicolor designs, Lime pairs well with other shades from the same line, such as Gel Color Strawberry, 10 ml for contrasting pink-green transitions, or Gel Color Apricot, 100 ml when building a warm citrus palette for summer desserts. For softer lime-lemon tones, it blends easily with Gel Color Lemon, 10 ml, letting you fine-tune proportions to reach the exact tone needed.

The 100 ml size suits bakers working through batches of orders or running small studio production, where economical usage and avoiding frequent repurchasing matter. The product is compatible with most vegetable and dairy fats, starches and gelling agents, and does not affect the taste of the finished product when recommended dosages are respected. Store the colorant in a tightly closed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, so its properties remain stable for a long time without loss of color saturation.
