The use of carmine as a natural colorant dates back several hundred years, there are records of the use of this colorant by ancient cultures such as the Aztecs. Carmine provides a range of colors from pink to deep red depending on the intended use.
At present, natural colorants are having a great acceptance because they have no negative effects on consumers, while synthetic colorants, according to the results of several researches, present a health risk if consumed for a long period of time.
In the case of beverages, carmine is used in those that need to achieve different shades of red, for example in fruit smoothies that require a pink color or in energy drinks that require an intense red.
