People of all age groups widely consume confectionery products (Parker et al., 2006). The main motivation factor for consuming these products is a pleasure. For this reason, their taste, flavor, texture, and visual characteristics should be considered in optimization, reformulation, and process development studies, even in enhancing functional properties. Coloring agents are widely used to improve visual characteristics in confectionery. Some of these agents also have potentially positive effects on consumer health. Therefore, by coloring agents in confectionery products, it is possible to achieve multi-functional effects. However, coloring agents have more limited usage in chocolate and cocoa products than other confectionery products due to the suppressive color of cocoa. Because white chocolate lacks cocoa, it is suitable to add other colorants (Loncarevic et al., 2018). The main functional properties of chocolate are related, especially with its solid cocoa content as a phenolic compound source. However, in the production of white chocolate and derivative products, such as spread (SC) and compound chocolate (CC), cocoa solids are not used. This also affects sensory properties and differs them from other cocoa-based confectionery products like milk, dark and semi-sweet chocolates. This disadvantage status, however, offers an opportunity for using coloring and flavor agents in their composition. Nevertheless, there are very limited studies in
