F7107 Sparkle White Edible Luster Dust — Large Particle Food Glitter

F7107 belongs to Kolortek's Edible Glitter Series — a line of mica-based pearlescent dusts formulated specifically for food decoration. The defining characteristic of this model is its large particle range (40–300μm), which produces a coarser, more reflective sparkle compared to fine-grain luster dusts. That distinction matters in application: where a fine dust reads as a soft sheen, F7107 reads as visible, individual glitter points on the surface.

The base mineral is fluorphlogopite — a synthetic mica widely accepted in food-grade formulations. Its stability across a range of pH levels and temperatures makes it practical for use on baked goods, frozen desserts, and liquid applications like beverages and cocktails. In practice, the material doesn't bleed, migrate, or alter the flavor profile of the substrate.

Worth noting: F7107 contains Titanium Dioxide. If your formulation or market requires a TiO₂-free option, Kolortek offers a separate Titanium Dioxide Free Edible Glitter series that should be specified at inquiry.

Applications

F7107 is appropriate wherever a coarse, high-visibility sparkle is the intended effect. Common use cases include:

• Cake decoration — applied dry or suspended in alcohol-based solutions for brush-on coverage
• Chocolates and cake pops — dusted directly or mixed into coatings
• Cocktails and drinks — added at service for surface shimmer
• Ice cream and frozen desserts — stable at low temperatures
• Cookies, macarons, and baked goods — dry application or airbrush
• Fruit glazes and egg decoration
• Sprinkle blends — compatible as a component in mixed decorative media

The large particle size makes F7107 less suited to airbrush systems optimized for fine dusts. For airbrushing or applications requiring a uniform soft sheen, a smaller-particle edible glitter grade would be the more appropriate choice.

Key Characteristics

• Visual effect: Coarse, high-reflectance sparkle — individual particles are visible at normal viewing distance
• Color: Sparkle White — bright, neutral base with strong light reflection
• Stability: Performs across a range of food processing conditions including low-pH environments and freezing temperatures
• Blendability: Compatible with other food colorings and decorative media; does not bleed or cause color interference
• Compliance: Meets international food safety standards; Kosher certified
• Base material: Fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica)

Practical Considerations for Formulators and Buyers

Application method significantly affects the final visual result with F7107. Dry dusting gives the most pronounced sparkle — particles sit on the surface and catch light independently. Suspension in a carrier (typically ethanol or a food-safe glycerin solution) allows more controlled placement but slightly reduces the peak sparkle intensity as particles become partially embedded in the carrier film on drying.

That said, for chocolates and coatings, mixing F7107 into a lipid-based medium works well. The particles distribute evenly and the sparkle is retained through the crystallization of the fat phase. Loading rate and timing in the process should be tested at bench scale — standard recommendation is to start at 0.1–0.5% by weight and adjust based on visual targets.

For procurement: F7107 is available in bulk quantities. Minimum order quantities and packaging formats should be confirmed at inquiry. Kolortek carries ISO, REACH, SGS, TÜV SÜD, and Kosher certifications — documentation is available on request for compliance and QA purposes.

If TiO₂ is a regulatory concern in your market (particularly relevant under EU regulation updates), specify the TiO₂-free series at inquiry rather than F7107.

FAQ

Q: Is F7107 approved for direct food contact and ingestion?
F7107 is formulated to meet international food safety standards and is produced in compliance with food-grade requirements. Kolortek holds Kosher certification relevant to this product line. That said, regulatory status varies by region — buyers should confirm compliance against local food additive regulations before commercial deployment. Documentation is available upon request.

Q: Can F7107 be used as an edible powder dust in liquid applications like cocktails?
Yes. F7107 as an edible powder dust performs in liquid applications. The particles are stable in aqueous and alcoholic environments and will remain suspended briefly when agitated. For drinks and cocktails, it is typically added at point of service rather than pre-mixed to maintain visual impact. Pre-mixing is possible but settling should be expected over time.

Q: Does F7107 contain allergens or animal-derived ingredients?
The base material is fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) with titanium dioxide — neither is animal-derived. Kolortek's Kosher certification covers this series. For allergen declarations or halal certification requirements, contact Kolortek directly for current documentation.

Q: What's the shelf life and recommended storage for F7107?
As a dry powder with inorganic base materials, F7107 is stable under standard storage conditions — cool, dry, away from direct light and moisture. Specific shelf life data and recommended storage conditions are available in the product technical data sheet. Request the TDS at inquiry.
