Carmoisine also known as Acid Red 14 is a synthetic food colour that gives a brilliant red hue to a variety of foods and some non-food products. It is available in powder, granules, and liquid forms, making it versatile for enhancing the visual appeal of various products such as candies, soft drinks, jellies, and more. Carmoisine is known for its consistency, stability, and vibrant colour payoff, making it a popular choice among manufacturers aiming for that perfect red.
History of the Carmoisine Colour
Carmoisine also known as Azorubine (E122) belongs to the azo dye group. The journey of Carmoisine began in the early 20th century. At that time manufacturers used this dye mostly in confectionery items like candies, jellies, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s, Carmoisine had established itself as a go-to red dye for manufacturers across Europe and other parts of the world. Later because of its ability to provide a vibrant and appealing attractive look to the products, manufacturers started the use of Carmoisine in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products as well. Today, Carmoisine continues to be a widely used dye, appreciated for its ability to deliver stable vibrant red hues across a range of products.
Applications of Carmoisine Colour
Carmoisine is a widely used synthetic food colour on a global level. In the food and beverage industry, this red dye is used in sweets, candies, gummies, desserts, ice creams, cakes, pastries, yogurts, flavored milkshakes, and more. Beyond food, Carmoisine is also used in pharmaceuticals for coating tablets and in cosmetics for colouring products like lipsticks and blushes, where its vibrant colour adds aesthetic value.
Drawbacks of Using Low-Quality Carmoisine Colour
Using low-quality Carmoisine dye in products can lead to a range of problems, particularly at the commercial level where brand reputation and consumer trust play important roles. Low-quality colours result in uneven colouring or patchy colouring on products. These colours often contain impurities that could pose health risks to consumers. Additionally, low-quality colours may not meet all the regulatory standards set by the governmental bodies which lead to legal consequences, product recalls, or even a ban on selling the affected products in certain markets.
Regulatory Compliance on Carmoisine Colour
Whether synthetic or natural, colours that are used in manufacturing are mandatory to be approved by the governmental body of the country that is responsible for the quality or safety of colours for human consumption. Every country has its own governmental agency such as in the United States, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in the European Union, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in India the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), in China, the National Health Commission (NHC), and in Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). These agencies ensure the quality of colours from time to time by conducting inspection, sampling, testing, and enforcement actions.
