BBQ Sauce

Liquid Caramel Colors are primarily used in BBQ sauce applications; however in some instances Powdered Caramel Colors can be used.

Sethness recommends the following Liquid Caramels in BBQ Sauces:

RT80 when a strong red tone is required.

P212, P300, P340 when the BBQ sauce is higher in salt content. These three Class III Liquid Caramel Colors are low sulfite and carry a positive ionic charge.

AP100 (single strength) when a lighter brown hue is needed.
RT240 when a darker red hue is required.
DS400 when a dark brown hue is preferred. This is the most economical Liquid Caramel Color as well.
