Product Introduction
Lake erythrosine pigment is a synthetic colorant known for its vibrant red tone. It is primarily used in the food industry, enhancing the visual appeal of a variety of products. With its stability and ease of use, this pigment is preferred for creating eye-catching items such as candies, snacks, and dairy products. Originating from erythrosine dye, lake erythrosine is a water-soluble dye that has undergone a process to become insoluble in water, forming a lake pigment. This process helps improve the pigment's stability in food applications.
Production Process
The production process of lake erythrosine pigment involves several steps. Initially, the base dye, erythrosine, is synthesized. This is followed by its reaction with a suitable aluminum salt, which precipitates the dye, thus transforming it into a lake pigment. The resulting pigment is then filtered, washed, and dried before being milled to the desired mesh size. Quality checks ensure that the final product meets food safety standards and is suitable for consumer use.
