IMBAREX, a Peruvian firm founded in 2000, manufactures and distributes natural colorants, particularly carmine dye, for the food sector.  Carmine, obtained from cochineal insects, gives different culinary products a bright crimson hue.

In the meat industry, it improves the appearance of burgers, sausages (such as chorizos), crab sticks, and seafood substitutes. Carmine is also used in dairy products such as yogurts, drinks, jams, jellies, syrups, candies, industrial cakes, vegetable preserves, and ice creams.

IMBAREX provides carmine in a variety of forms, including water-soluble powders and liquids, to fit different food compositions. 

IMBAREX provides natural colorants to the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries in more than 50 countries across four continents.
