Since ancient times, people have used colors in food, drugs, and cosmetic products. Numerous behavioral studies have shown that human appetite and food choices are strongly influenced by color.
For this reason, food colors are widely used across the world to enhance the visual appeal of foods.
Compared to natural colors, synthetic food colors are more commonly used because they offer a wider range of shades and are more cost-effective.
