Natural Pigments & Colorants 2015 
Food & Beverages Applications 
Special Session organized during Malta Polyphenols World Congress 
June 4-5, 2015 - Malta 
On June 4, the Scientific Committee of Malta Polyphenols organizes a special session dedicated to Natural Pigments & Colorants: Food & Beverage Applications. The posters session concerning Natural Pigments will be held on June 4-5. 
The aim of this session is to present the last advances and innovations in the field of natural pigments.
 The industrials from Food & beverage look to replace synthetic 
colorants with more respectful natural pigments. However many barrers 
remain in term of extraction, stabilization and industrial applications.
