Swedish Fish Mini Glow Ups utilize turmeric extract (specifically the compound curcumin) in their edible confetti to create a fluorescent glow under ultraviolet (black) light. The turmeric acts as a natural, flavorless fluorescent dye that absorbs UV light and re-emits it, causing the candies to shine.
Key Details About the Glow Effect:
- Not True "Glow-in-the-Dark": The candies do not phosphoresce (glow in total darkness after being charged). They require an active black light (UV source) to fluoresce.
- Mechanism: The edible confetti contains curcumin, which absorbs UV light and emits a visible glow.
- Ingredients: The formula uses turmeric extract, along with other colorants like spirulina and radish extracts, to achieve the effect.
- Flavor: The turmeric is used in such small, specialized amounts that it does not affect the strawberry-watermelon flavor of the candy.
Turmeric is healthy right? Basically...these are health snacks and totally not radioactive cancer causing fishies.Leave a Comment
