ST. LOUIS  — Sensient Food Colors has developed Marine Blue Capri, a clean label Blue 1 alternative to synthetic colors.

Marine Blue Capri joins the company’s spirulina-based Marine Blue platform and offers beverage manufacturers a bright, clear blue color that is low in pH, according to the company.

Sensient said Marine Blue Capri may be combined with yellows or reds to achieve greens or purples.

The color may be used in ready-to-drink beverages.
