Synthetic Food Colour - Lake Tartrazine
Tartrazine lake is a yellow pigment with high stability and great uniformity that becomes useful in oil-based products where traditional soluble colours could not withstand. A derivative of Tartrazine (FD&C Yellow No. 5), Lake Tartrazine gained popularity in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries since it provides a high brightly colored appearance.
History of the Lake Tartrazine
Despite being produced since the early 20th century, Lake Tartrazine has continued to be a preferred stable yellow pigment used by manufacturers for oil-based products like lipsticks, foundations and nail polishes as well as tablet coatings. This pigment provides a consistent, bright appearance with broad application compatibility by complexing Tartrazine dye with aluminum.
Applications of Synthetic Tartrazine Dye
There are diverse sectors that utilize Lake Tartrazine and it is mostly used in industries that require bright and stable shades on products. It finds application in food manufacturing, especially for dry mixes, dairy items, and confectioneries for a better outlook. Lake Tartrazine is also used in cosmetics and personal care to provide lasting colours to products including the ever-popular lipsticks, eye shadows and nail polish. Additionally, Lake Tartrazine is also useful in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals to aid in compacting tablets and capsules.
Drawback to Using Low-Quality Lake Tartrazine
Low-quality Lake Tartrazine can lead to various issues, especially at the commercial level, where colour stability and quality play an important role in product sales. These inferior-quality colours fade on products and often do not fulfill regulatory compliance, which leads to consumer dissatisfaction. They also fail under heat or light exposure, making the product fade quickly. Manufacturers should use high-quality Lake Tartrazine colour in their products offered by leading manufacturers like Ajanta Food Colours to safeguard their products and make them appealing and attractive for a long time giving peace of mind about quality.
