Natural Sources of Food Colorants as Potential Substitutes for Artificial Additives

In recent years, the demand of healthier food products and products made with natural ingredients has increased overwhelmingly, led by the awareness of human beings of the influence of food on their health, as well as by the evidence of side effects generated by different ingredients such as some ad...
