CHROMORED

ChromoRed is the first in a new generation of colorants. It is the food colorant of the future. ChromoRed is novel and unique. ChromoRed is natural. It will replace current natural red food colorants like carmine and betanin.

ChromoRed performs excellent over a broad range of pH values and under high temperature treatment. By using ChromoRed, there is no consumer restriction as our colorant is compatible with vegan, kosher and halal diets.

By using ChromoRed, your food product will look appealing every step of the way while helping for a more sustainable future. ChromoRed is produced by biotech. Unlike other natural colorants, the production of ChromoRed is independent of harvest seasons.

Due to its high color intensity, ChromoRed has a lower cost-in-use than carmine and betanin.

CAREER

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Join our dynamic and international team as we getting ready to commercialize our revolutionary natural colorant for vegan products.

We are a small team of seven and quickly growing! With international investors backing our product development, we are working to change the world of natural food colorants through natural fermentation rather than relying on intensive agricultural inputs.

Welcome to Chromologics

Chromologics is a Danish biotech spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark. We have developed a fungal biotech platform to produce novel, natural colorants. Our proprietary fermentation process allows us to be first movers in lab-grown food colorants. Unlike other existing natural colors, our colorants are not extracted from high value raw materials like fruit and vegetables but are produced by our wild-type cell factory. Our fungal strains are non-GMO and our pigments are compatible with most dietary needs, including kosher, halal, and vegan diets.

The Business Development manager will be instrumental in executing our company strategy to drive the commercialization of our novel food colorant formulations. This person will be responsible for board-ready deliverables on a quarterly basis summarizing the key decisions and actions taken towards the commercialization of our lead product. Although it is difficult to estimate, occasional travel to visit potential clients will be expected.
