Cakes, drinks, chocolates, desserts, decorative foodsOur Edible Glitter Series is manufactured by coating natural mica or synthetic substrates with food-safe metal oxides, such as Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Iron Oxide (Fe2O3).
Optical Performance: The pigments function through light refraction, creating a "shimmer" rather than a flat matte color. The particle size distribution is strictly controlled to ensure consistent light reflection.
Chemical Stability: These dusts are highly stable under various processing conditions, including high-heat baking and low-temperature freezing. They are non-bleeding and maintain color integrity when suspended in liquids or applied to acidic food surfaces.
TiO2-Free Options: To meet evolving global regulatory requirements, we offer specialized Titanium Dioxide-free formulations that maintain high luster using alternative food-safe mineral coatings.
High Purity & Safety: Formulated with natural mineral mica and safe, food-grade ingredients to ensure compliance with international safety standards.
Seamless Blending: The fine powder structure allows it to blend easily with other food colorants, enabling custom shades without clumping or gritty textures.
Versatile Particle Sizes: Available in a wide range from 10μm for a subtle pearlescent sheen to 500μm for high-intensity glitter effects.
Odorless & Tasteless: Chemically inert composition ensures that the visual enhancement does not interfere with the sensory experience of the food or drink.

Food manufacturers and professional decorators often face the challenge of finding high-sparkle effects that are truly food-safe. Many "glitters" on the market are either plastic-based (non-edible) or utilize pigments that settle too quickly in beverages or degrade under the high temperatures of commercial baking.
Kolortek’s Solution:
Our Edible Luster Dusts are mineral-based, offering superior thermal stability and safety compared to plastic glitters. For the beverage industry, our finer particle sizes (10-60μm) are engineered for better suspension, creating a "swirling galaxy" effect in drinks that lasts longer. Our TiO2-free options also provide a future-proof solution for manufacturers needing to comply with the latest European food additive regulations.
Supply Chain Confidence:
With 20 years of experience in effect pigment manufacturing, Kolortek provides the documentation and batch-to-batch consistency required for large-scale food production. We ensure that our edible series meets the strict purity requirements of the global food industry, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring consumer safety.
