Abstract

The present invention is a method of imparting a reddish color to granulated seasoning salts. The method involves forming a slurry of annatto, by acid precipitation from an alkaline solution, and blending this slurry with the salt to plate the annatto thereon. The resulting pigmented salt is useful for the seasoning of snack foods to give them a barbequed appearance.
