EXBERRY^® by GNT to showcase new possibilities with plant-based colors at Plant-Based World Expo Europe 2023

October 17, 2023

GNT will demonstrate the potential of its clean-label EXBERRY^® colors at Plant-Based World Expo (ExCel London, 15-16 November 2023) with meat substitutes that change from a raw to a cooked appearance.

EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods are created from non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and plants using physical processing methods. They can deliver a full spectrum of shades and are suitable for almost any food and beverage application, including plant-based meat, seafood, and dairy alternatives.

At Plant Based World Expo, GNT (Stand C28 15-16) will show attendees how EXBERRY^® can be used to create red meat alternatives that deliver a realistic color shift when heated.

The company’s experts will also be available throughout the event to discuss how EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods can be used in plant-based products ranging from hot dogs and pastrami to ice cream and cheese to smoked salmon and prawns.

Steven Taylor, Head of Sales at GNT UK, said: “Based on the concept of coloring food with food, EXBERRY^® allows manufacturers to create highly realistic plant-based products using ingredients consumers know and trust. We’re especially excited to be able to show visitors first-hand how our concentrates can be used to create meat alternatives that provide consumers with a truly authentic cooking experience.”

EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods are classed as food ingredients rather than additives in the EU and UK so do not require E numbers. As such, they qualify for cleaner and clearer label declarations, such as “carrot and radish concentrates.”
