Product Introduction
Lake azorubine pigment is a synthetic food colorant primarily known for its vibrant red hue. It is derived from azorubine, which is a type of artificial dye. This pigment is commonly used in food and beverage products, as well as cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. Its stability and solubility make it a popular choice among manufacturers looking to enhance product color. The lake form of this pigment offers improved performance in various formulations compared to its liquid counterparts.
Production Process
The production of lake azorubine pigment involves the synthesis of azorubine, which is then processed with aluminum hydroxide to form the lake pigment. The process begins by mixing azorubine with a specific amount of aluminum hydroxide. This mixture is heated to promote the binding of the dye with the hydroxide, resulting in a stable pigment that can be easily dispersed in formulations. After the reaction, the pigment is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a fine powder. Quality control measures ensure that the pigment meets safety regulations and industry standards before being packaged for distribution.
Application Scenarios
Lake azorubine pigment finds a wide range of applications across different sectors.
