The AFS Color 3000 is a natural browning agent (liquid or powder form) which will give your products (gratins, hams, meats, sausages, quiches, fish,etc.) the look of traditional cooking in an oven, even if they are cooked in a microwave. When surface applied and exposed to heat treatment, the AFS Color 3000 reacts with the proteins via the Maillard reaction. Because the AFS Color 3000 is highly concentrated, only a small quantity will be necessary to get the desired effect. The development of the color even continues after the heat treatment.
