Liquid Green S is a synthetic green colour used to give foods and drinks a bright, consistent hue. It carries the E-number E142 and belongs to the colour category, fully miscible in water and odourless. In production it restores or intensifies green tones in products where natural colour may fade or vary, such as confectionery, desserts and beverages. It provides a clear, vibrant green in liquid form.
Manufacturers typically add Liquid Green S to sugar confectionery, jellies, dessert mixes and soft drinks. As a liquid, it blends easily into water-based systems, so it can be metered directly into recipes. Store it in closed containers, keep it from freezing, and stir before use since it is odourless and fully soluble. Its liquid form removes the need for pre-dissolving powders, which helps with accurate handling.
