I submit to our group a question from Sandy, who is looking for informations about the uses of natural dyes as eatable colorants for food.
bonjour
dans le cadre de ma formation de pâtissier,je suis entrain de rédiger un mémoire qui portera en partie sur les colorants. j'aimerais proposer des colorants qui ne soient pas nocifs pour la santé, en créant mes propres colorants alimentaires. en cherchant sur internet j'ai trouver beaucoup de végétaux qui pourraient m'aider mais le problème c'est que je ne sais pas comment extraire la couleur? faut il les broyer, les faire infuser...? auriez vous des réponses à me donner qui pourraient me faire avancer? ou des personnes qui pourraient le faire?
je vous remercie par avance pour votre réponse
bien cordialement

For food, there are plenty plants species for dyeing. In my opinion, Plants for dyeing yellow and orange that found easily (bixa, zinger groups, curcubitaceae etc.) If Sandy want any infomation for dyeing food, I can answer the latin name, using parts.

Food colorants are an important industry, but I don't know if is is easy to extract and use colorants at a cottage level. Some basic things to know is that some of them are liposoluble (like caretonoids) and others hydrosoluble (like anthocyans). This is important when adding them to food products.
Another problem is the stability of colorants with heat and pH.
It is all I can say.
As for the question of Marie, yes, you are in the right place. Just take care of opening a new discussion every time you begin with a new topic.
