How does the colour of the food affect how the people will choose it?
Yes because red,yellow,green are more appetising colors that is why fast food resturants are red and yellow. They say blue is not apealing because there are no natural blue foods so people arent used to it. If you turned rice blue i bet someone wouldn't eat it.

How do you make brown food coloring?
Actually, you need to go to a specialty shop. There is a food color paste which is stronger than the standard food colors sold in groceries. This paste is highly concentrated, much like the difference between water colors and oil paint. The results will be a true brown. Warning! This paste is highly concentrated, so unless you want a mud brown, use very, very sparingly. I would reccommend a specialty baking shop in your town. These colors are also available online. Browse for "gel food colors" or "paste food colors".
Is adding food coloring to food a physical or chemical change?
Adding food coloring to a mixture would be considered a physical change. There are no new chemical bonds formed or broken. What you are creating is a new solution, just like adding salt to water and it dissolves. The salt stays salt, the water stays water. In this case what you are dissolving has a color to it so it changes the color of whatever you add it to but fundamentally the molecules that make up the food coloring stay the same.
Can you put food coloring in white chocolate?
You CANNOT use liquid food coloring---that will ruin the candy. You CAN use a paste or power food coloring purchased at a craft store like Michaels, Joannes etc or a cake/candy supply store. Also some gourmet cooking stores will have the right coloring.
You can also buy candy melts from the same type of stores. They have red and pink candy melts. Also seen candy melts at Walmart in the craft/sewing section of the store.

How do you use powdered food coloring when baking?
You will need WHITE conditioner (or shampoo) and a food colouring of your choice you will also need a container to mix them in. Use an old toothbrush or something.
Firstly, put the right amount of conditioner (enough to cover your whole head) and a few drops of food colouring into your container. Mix it together with an old toothbrush. Make sure it is a shade darker than what you want on your hair.
Next, on a surface you don't mind getting food colouring all over (like a tray) rest your head down and use the toothbrush to cover the part of your hair you want dying.
Leave it in for half an hour to an hour, then rinse hair with cold water.
Hope this helped!
Why does food coloring repel from soap in milk?
It repels because it is a Heterogeneous mixture.
A Heterogeneous mixture is an oil based mixture. Milk is a water based protein, but food coloring is not, it is actually an oil based product, so they are two materials that are insoluble with each other (compare to "oil and water don't mix).

If you want a pure white icing, then use clear flavorings. These are usually artificial and you can find them in the cake decorating supply area of Michaels stores. If the icing will be colored, then pure vanilla extract or the extract of your choice is fine. I use 1 teaspoon for every pound of confectioners sugar.

What is food colouring made of?
Food coloring is any substance that is added to food or drink to change its color. There are two major types of food coloring, ones extracted naturally or ones created synthetically.
Natural food dyes are much more varied and abundant and include:
- Caramel coloring, made from caramelized sugar, used in cola products and also in cosmetics.
- Annatto, a reddish-orange dye made from the seed of the Achiote.
- A green dye made from the chorapyll of chlorellaalgae
- Cochineal, a red dye derived from the cochineal insect, Dactylopius coccus.
- Betanin, a deep reddish color extracted from beets.
In the USA (as of 2007), the following seven synthetic colorings are permitted in food, the most common being Blue No. 1, Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5:
- Blue No. 1 - Brilliant Blue, (Blue shade), a synthetic dye derived from coal tar
- Blue No. 2 - Indigotine, (Dark Blue shade)
- Green No. 3 - Fast Green, (Bluish green shade)
- Red No. 40 - Allura Red, (Red shade), a dye manufactured mostly from petroleum
- Red No. 3 - Erythrosine, (Pink shade)
- Yellow No. 5 - Tartrazine, (Yellow shade), a popular azo dye
- Yellow No. 6 - Sunset Yellow, (Orange shade)
There's a tremendous range of food coloring choices that can be used in manufactured goods and in some cases available to home cooks to add extra color to baked goods or frosting. The question of what food color contains depends widely on the type of food coloring used. Each color tends to be derived from several ingredients, and comes in generally two forms. Dye formtends to produce less vibrant colors, is more likely to bleed, and is not soluble in oil.Lake form is oil soluble, tends to be more stable and does not bleed.
Food colors used in many baked goods and cosmetics tends to be of the lake form. This is generally a combination of a food dye, used to make color, and aluminum pigment. The ingredients will vary according to color.
It can be interesting to know what makes up the colors in food colorings. Some are naturally derived. For instance, green food coloring tends to get its shade from seaweed, and orange food coloring may be made from seeds. Red food coloring, which you might see listed ascarmine in manufactured goods may not be so tasty once you hear what it is derived from. It tends to be made from the certain insects. Alternately, you can find red food colors made from beet juice or paprika. Brown food coloring made to impart a caramel color is usually less involved with the insect world and is derived from sugar that has been caramelized.
Are there crushed beetles in red food coloring?
Aside from food, these pigments are also used in many cosmetics, shampoos and even fruit juice! If you want to make sure you aren't ingesting beetles look for an OU symbol or K- designating that the item is Kosher (yes there are even kosher cosmetics)
FD&C Red Dye #40 (known as Red #40) is made from a petroleum product or coal tar, not insects.
