Sensient Colors, a provider of color for food and beverage applications, has added aseptic packaging capabilities. Sensient Food Colors, a unit of Sensient Technologies Corp., made a capital investment to add aseptic packaging capabilities. Aseptic packaging capabilities offer customers preservative-free colors that deliver maximum shelf life and, as an additional benefit, enhance sustainability.

“With our new aseptic packaging system, we are able to offer customers preservative-free natural colors that have a shelf life comparable to a preserved color,” said Steve Morris, Commercial Director, United States Food Group.

Packaging is now available in sizes more conveniently aligned with usage from as small as one-half gallon containers to large totes.

This capital investment is one of a series of investments Sensient has made in defining the future of natural color. In April 2010 a $16 million expansion to the St. Louis manufacturing plant made it the largest and most advanced natural colors plant in North America.
