dc.description.abstractWorldwide consumers seek most delightful and appealing foodstuffs, at the same time they require safer, more nutritious and healthier products. Color is one of the most important organoleptic attributes that directly affects consumers’ acceptance and food selection. Scope and approach: The present report aims to provide an extensive approach to the field of food (natural/synthetic) colorants, namely those who are currently allowed with established acceptable daily intake (ADI). It also describes the biotechnological and industrial techniques that have been used to optimize food attractiveness, shelf life and color stability, as well as the general trends and future perspectives of food science and technology in the topic of food colorants. Key findings and conclusions: Synthetic food colorants were largely used, but have been progressively substituted by those obtained from natural origins. Numerous side effects and toxicity, at both medium and long-terms, allergic reactions, behavioral and neurocognitive effects have been related with their use. Otherwise, naturally-derived food colorants seem to provide high quality, efficiency and organoleptic properties, and also play a contributive role as health promoters. Anthocyanins, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, beet derivatives, annatto and some curcuminoids are among the most commonly used, while strict regulatory practices have been applied looking for food quality assurance.pt_PT
