GNT to highlight potential of plant-based EXBERRY® Coloring Foods at Alimentaria Foodtech 2023

September 6, 2023

GNT will demonstrate how EXBERRY^® colors created from fruit, vegetables, and plants can deliver a full spectrum of vibrant shades at Alimentaria Foodtech 2023 (26-29 September, Barcelona).

EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods are plant-based concentrates made from edible raw materials such as carrots, blueberries, and turmeric using physical processes and water. As a result, they qualify for cleaner and clearer label declarations and do not require E-numbers.

Exhibiting at Stand A231, GNT will show Alimentaria Foodtech visitors how EXBERRY^® can be used to replace artificial colors and additives such as carmine in almost any food and beverage application.

Carla Compte, Sales Manager at GNT Iberia, said: “Based on the straightforward concept of coloring food with food, EXBERRY^® meets modern consumer demands for visually appealing products with natural, easy-to-understand ingredient lists. Visit our stand and get a taste for how our clean-label colors can deliver the perfect solution for your products.”

GNT has a vertical supply chain to provide the non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and plants used to create EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods, with cultivation and harvesting monitored by the company’s agricultural engineers.

Carla Compte added: “Our vertical approach means we can maintain the highest level of quality while also guaranteeing year-round availability for all EXBERRY^® concentrates. In addition, it ensures our crops are fully traceable and grown using the natural, sustainable methods that consumers want to see.”

Alimentaria Foodtech takes place at Barcelona’s Fairground Gran Via (Pavilion P2, Level 0). For more information, visit: www.alimentariafoodtech.com
