Crespel & Deiters is launching Lory® Crumb Colored, a range of coloured crumbs for breading and toppings. Made with natural colourants, the crumbs remain colour-stable during cooking and are flavour-neutral. Available in green, pink, yellow, orange and white, they can be used individually or in combination. From coatings for meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, cheese or plant-based products to toppings for baked goods and snacks, Lory® Crumb Colored is suitable for industrial applications, as well as the convenience and foodservice segments. It can also enhance limited editions and support promotional campaigns.
Lory® Crumb Colored is sugar-free and created with colouring foods. While the crumbs create a striking visual effect, they are flavour-neutral and therefore do not affect the taste of the finished product. Colours remain stable throughout preparation and are clearly visible in the end product.
Kaleidoscope of colours for a range of applications
Lory® Crumb Colored is not limited to classic breading applications. The crumbs work with all common substrates and can also be used as a topping for baked goods, giving a distinctive look to rolls, pretzel products, snack buns and finger foods.
When blended with conventional breadcrumbs, Lory® Crumb Colored does not bleed and remains clearly visible, enabling targeted patterns and coverage, as well as striking colour accents.
“Coloured crumbs give product developers and marketers a tool that helps attract attention and makes products stand out from the crowd,” says Birgit Wessner, Product Manager at Crespel & Deiters. “Colour becomes a communication tool for brands, occasions and target audiences. And because the natural colourants do not affect the flavour, such creative freedom does not require any recipe adjustments.”
With Lory® Crumb Colored, it is easy to create limited editions or customised product themes: snacks in team or national colours, seasonal promotions, co-branded products or limited editions for campaign launches. Coloured crumbs can be easily incorporated into existing production processes and breading lines. When several colours are used in one application, they remain stable and deliver reliable, reproducible results on an industrial scale.
