Food Colorants and Analysis

Oxigen Laboratories conducts analyses of food colorants to ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of products with regulations.

Food Colorants and Analysis:

  • Natural and Synthetic Colorants:
    Food colorants used in products are classified into two groups: natural (plant and animal-derived) and synthetic. Natural colorants are typically derived from plants and some animals, while synthetic colorants are preferred for their stability and cost-effectiveness. However, they may sometimes raise health concerns among consumers.

  • Colorants Based on Solubility Properties:
    Colorants vary based on their solubility properties. Water-soluble colorants (such as E127, E129), oil-soluble colorants (like carotenoids, Sudan dyes), and colorants that are soluble in both media are available.

  • Regulations for Food Colorants:
    The use of food additives is subject to specific regulations. The colorants analyzed in our laboratory include Azorubin – E122, Indigotine – E132, Tartrazine – E102, Allura Red AC – E129, Sunset Yellow – E110, Erythrosin – E127, Patent Blue V – E131, Ponceau 4RC – E124, Quinolin Yellow – E104, Brilliant Blue FCF – E133, Amaranth – E123.

  • Colorant Tests:
    The chemical components, concentrations, and quality of food colorants used in products are analyzed. These tests ensure that the products comply with regulations.
