Vitaminized flavored waters are products that are trending in several markets around the globe, while its core value is the vitamins it offers, it should be complemented with natural additivies as natural colorants are.
Natural colorants are a healthy and sustainable option for adding color to foods and beverages. Instead of using artificial chemicals, these colorants are obtained from natural sources such as fruits, vegetables, plants and some insects.

One example of how natural colorants can be used is in the production of flavored vitamin water. Instead of using artificial colorants, fruits and vegetables can be used to add color and flavor to the water. For example, chlorophyll from certain plants can be used to give a green hue, or carmine or beet can be used for red color.
Other examples of natural colorants that can be used to give flavor and color to vitamin water include:
- Turmeric: provides a deep yellow hue and a slightly spicy, bitter taste.
- Achiote: provides an orange hue used to give a fresher appearance.
- Carmine: besides providing a reddish color, it can also be used to give a purple color to water.
