In the mid-19th century, this dye was only used in the textile industry, but later it was used by food manufacturers in their products when they recognized its potential. In the 20th century, violet colour had become a favored choice of manufacturers to colour various food and beverage applications such as candies, ice creams, baked goods, mocktails, etc. This synthetic dye is a great alternative to natural dye and provides a more visually appealing look to the products.
