NATURAL COLORS
FOR A BETTER WORLD

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

Are you an enthusiastic scientist with experience in food chemistry and/or food colors?

Do you have a passion for innovative food ingredients?  

Do you like to work independently towards developing new products, where you can design you own methodologies and validate proof of concept performance?

If you always wanted to be part of a start-up and actively shape the future of the company you are working in, then this is your chance to play a major role in developing our red food colorant, ChromoRed.

Chromologics is looking for a food formulation specialist in the field of color formulation.

We are a start-up company that has developed a fungal fermentation platform for the production of novel natural colorants. We began as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). In July 2020, we successfully closed our first financing round and moved into the Alfa Laval Innovation House in Søborg.

Our first product is the red food colorant, ChromoRed. ChromoRed will be introduced to the food value chain as a novel food colorant.

This job opening offers the candidate the independence and creativity to develop and test formulations concepts for ChromoRed to enable maximum performance in a variety of food matrices.

• Develop color formulations for non-food applications (plastics, cosmetics, etc.)

• Organize product testing with industry partners (introduce product, ship samples, coordinate results).

• Stability and performance results from different stakeholders needs to be managed, compared, and validated.

The work requires a high level of independence, attention to detail, curiosity, and initiative. We are looking for a person who is creative in finding new solutions, but analytical in interpreting the results.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Master’s degree in Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences or other relevant disciplines.

• Min 2 years industry experience

• You are well acquainted with formulation techniques, such as microencapsulation, milling and with multiple delivery forms (liquids, suspensions, solids, emulsions)

• Experience in physical characterization techniques

• Knowledge of the technical development and/or product development lifecycle, within a food and/or chemical-related organization

Student position in Business Development

About Chromologics:

Chromologics is a deep-tech spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

We had the first closing of our seed round in July 2020, and established offices and lab space at the Alfa Laval Innovation House in Søborg.

We developed a biotech process for the production of natural food colorants in a more sustainable way. We believe that fermentation derived colorants can disrupt the market because they don’t waste raw materials and farming space.

Our first colorant, that we want to bring to the market is ChromoRed.
