Caramel
PURE COLOUR, PERFECT CARAMELIZATION FOR INDUSTRIAL EXCELLENCE
At Ramkripa Agro Foods, our premium caramel colours are crafted to deliver uniform hue, vibrant tone, and authentic depth — designed for beverage, dairy, and confectionery manufacturers.
We use food-grade ingredients and advanced filtration to ensure clarity, stability, and shelf-life without compromising performance.
The Science Behind Caramel
Caramelization is the result of complex heat-induced transformations that create colour and flavour through the breakdown of sugars. The process forms hundreds of aromatic and coloured compounds, giving caramel its depth, warmth, and versatility.
Types of Caramel
Class I (Plain Caramel)
Created by heating carbohydrates without ammonium or sulfite compounds. Mild flavour and clean-label appeal — ideal for bakery, confectionery, and beverages.
Class II (Caustic Sulfite Caramel)
Made using sulfite compounds, resulting in lighter brown hues with good solubility and stability in alcoholic beverages.
Class III (Ammonia Caramel)
Produced using ammonium compounds, delivering a reddish-brown colour and excellent heat and acid stability — perfect for sauces and syrups.
Class IV (Ammonia Sulfite Caramel)
The darkest and most stable grade. Commonly used in colas, soft drinks, and industrial beverages for strong colour intensity.
