Class I –Caustic /spirit Caramel
Class II –Sulphite Caramel
Class III – Ammonia Caramel
Class IV –Ammonia –sulphite Caramel
Caramel color-Redefined……
Caramel Color is a dark brown liquid material derived from controlled heat treatment of fine grade crystal sugar with or without some additive reagent. It is defined and regulated as a food color additive. Internationally the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has divided Caramel Color into four classes depending on the food grade reactants used in its manufacturing:
- E150 a - Class I is Plain Caramel Color
- E150 b - Class II is Caustic Sulfite Process Caramel Color
- E150 c - Class III is Ammonia Process Caramel Color
- E150 d - Class IV is Sulfite Ammonia Process Caramel Color

- DESCRIPTION
- The Kusum Caramel Grade-I is produced by carefully controlled heat treatment of food grade carbohydrates with or without acids, alkalies or salts in the presence of both sulphite and ammonium compounds.
- The kusum sulphite Caramel is produced by a carefully controlled heat treatment of food grade carbohydrates with or without acids, alkalies or salt in the presence of sulphite compounds. No ammonium compounds are used.
- The kusum ammonia Caramel is produced by a carefully controlled heat treatment of food grade carbohydrates with or without acids, alkalies or salts in the presence of ammonium compounds. No sulphite compounds are used.
- The kusum Ammonia-sulphite Caramel is produced by a carefully controlled heat treatment of food grade carbohydrates with or without acids, alkalies or salts in the presence of sulphite & ammonium compounds.
