Pearlescent Pigments

ST. LOUISSensient® Colors introduced SensiPearl, a pearlescent pigment product line. SensiPearl technology differentiates food products through luster effects, color shifts and iridescent shimmers. These FDA-approved mica and titanium dioxide-based pigments add visual effects to foods such as cereals, confections, frosting, marshmallows, gelatin desserts, hard and soft candies and chewing gums. SensiPearl is available in a variety of custom colors.

SensiPearl technology offers two consumer-driven benefits: SensiPearl creates a pearlized look that adds novelty and is listed on label declarations as a natural ingredient," said Mark Goldschmidt, director of technology for Sensient Colors.

SensiPearl is available in a one-step SpectraCoat Pearl Dispersion application. A patent-pending process, this evenly distributed coating system produces a high-gloss appearance, reduces dusting during processing, and may reduce the need for specialized spray equipment.
