Sunset Color Powder, 1 kg

Warm Orange-Peach Tone Built for High-Volume Manufacturing

Sunset Color Powder in a 1 kg pack is designed for facilities that need a consistent shade at scale without constant reorders of small containers. This product belongs to the Dry Food Colorants category, which is widely used across confectionery, baking, and beverage manufacturing, as well as in the production of desserts, ice cream, sauces, and alcoholic beverages. The main demand for this shade comes from confectionery plants, soft drink and low-alcohol beverage lines, and manufacturers of dry mixes and toppings who need a bright warm tone that does not fade during thermal processing, unlike many natural pigments.

The sunset shade offers a warm transition from golden orange to peach, making it a practical tool for developing recipes for caramel, icing, creams, jellies, syrups, and flavored spirits. The powder dissolves well in water and in water-alcohol bases, so it works both in hot processing and cold mixing. It is recommended to add the colorant during syrup, dough, or cream base preparation at a temperature not exceeding 80-90 degrees Celsius to avoid excessive breakdown of the coloring compounds during prolonged heating. Dosage is adjusted individually depending on the desired intensity, typically ranging from 0.1 to 1 gram per kilogram of finished product, though industrial lines should run preliminary batch testing based on the specific formulation.

Ordering in a 1 kg format allows a plant to plan procurement long-term without the risk of shade mismatch between batches, which is critical for chain confectionery producers and beverage plants operating under unified technical specifications. This format suits automated dosing lines where raw material is consumed steadily and requires minimal equipment adjustment.

Sunset is frequently combined with other dry colorants to create intermediate shades and expand the color palette of finished goods. For instance, adding a small amount of Ponceau Color Powder intensifies the pink-red undertone and deepens the color, while combining it with Yellow Color Powder shifts the tone toward a softer, sunnier golden hue. For contrasting multilayer products, desserts, and beverages with alternating color zones, manufacturers often pair sunset with Green Color Powder to build vivid compositions for seasonal lines and holiday assortments.

Store the colorant in a dry area at room temperature, in tightly sealed packaging protected from direct sunlight and moisture, since water exposure can cause premature clumping and uneven coloring results. Under proper storage conditions the coloring properties remain stable for a long period, which is especially important when purchasing a large format for warehouse stock.
