introduction | erythrosine B, also known as tetraiodofluorescein B, is a red or reddish brown particle or powder, odorless, soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol and glycerin, insoluble in oil. It has good staining, especially for protein staining. |
application | compared with other synthetic red pigments of the same type, its heat resistance, alkali resistance, oxidation-reduction resistance and tinting strength are better, so it can be widely used in non-acidic foods such as fermented foods, baked foods, ice cream, fish cakes, pickled products, etc. |
Preparation method | Dissolve fluorescein with sodium hydroxide solution to prepare fluorescein disodium salt, and then add 4 equivalents of iodine to it for iodine Subgeneration reaction to obtain erythrosine B. The operation of this synthetic route is relatively simple, and the current industrial preparation of tetraiodofluorescein B basically adopts this route. |
content analysis | accurately weigh about 1.00g of the sample, dissolve it in 250ml of water, move it into a clean 500ml beaker, add 1.5mol/L nitric acid 8.0ml, and stir well. Filtered by a weighed sintered glass crucible (porosity 3, diameter 5cm) with a small glass rod. Wash with 0.5% nitric acid until the filtrate is not turbid when tested with silver nitrate test solution (TS-210), and then wash with 30ml of water. Dry at (135±5)℃ to constant weight, and carefully mash the residue with a glass rod. Weigh after cooling in the dryer. |
toxicity | ADl 0~0.1mg // kg(FAO/WHO,2001). LD506800mg/kg (mice, oral);LD501840 mg/kg (rats, oral). |
usage limit | GB 2760-2001(g/kg): seasoning sauce 0.05; Puffed food, fried food, birthday peach bag, 0.025; Juice (flavor) drinks, carbonated drinks, mixed wine, candy, pastries, green plum, candy coating, 0.05; Red and green silk, canned dyed cherries (for decoration),0.10; Candy coating 0.05. |
use | mainly used as plastic lubricant, suitable for thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride, etc. used for coloring food, medicine and cosmetics edible red pigment. Can be used for starch, baked goods, shrimp, ham, sausage, cherry, etc. Often used with other pigments. The dosage is 5~100mg/kg. as a food colorant, China stipulates that it can be used in red and green silk and canned dyed cherries (for decoration), with a maximum usage of 0.10 g/kg; In seasoning sauce, various beverages, prepared wine, candy, pastry coloring and green plum, the maximum usage is 0.05 g/kg. Eat red pigment. It is widely used in non-acidic foods such as fermented foods, baked foods, ice cream, fish cakes, pickled products, etc., and can also be used in conjunction with other food coloring. Not for drinks and hard candy. The usage amount is 5~100mg/kg. adsorption indicator for precipitation titration. Acid-base titration fluorescence indicator, pH greater than 2.5, no fluorescence, pH not less than 4.0, light green fluorescence. Photometric reagents. Biological stain. |
production method | crude fluorescein obtained by heating and melting resorcinol, phthalic anhydride and anhydrous zinc chloride is refined and iodized, salted out with sodium chloride, and then refined. Preparation of erythrosine Resorcinol is heated and melted, added with phthalic anhydride, stirred and melted, heated to 185 ℃ for half an hour to form dark yellow resorcinolphthalide, which is in a liquid state. Add powdered anhydrous zinc chloride under stirring, stir until it is completely dissolved, and gradually raise the temperature to 210~215 ℃, heat until the reactants are completely solidified, then cool and pulverize to obtain a crude melt; the crude melt is heated with dilute hydrochloric acid In azeotrope, zinc chloride and residual resorcinol are leached, filtered, washed, and dried, and then ethanol is used to extract unreacted phenorcinolphthalide, and the extracted product is dried to obtain fluorescein. Dissolve fluorescein in sodium hydroxide solution, add iodine to react, add hydrochloric acid to the reactants, precipitate crystals, and then convert it into sodium salt solution, and concentrate to obtain the product. Preparation of erythrosine red aluminum lake Aluminum hydroxide is prepared from aluminum salts such as aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, etc. and bases such as sodium carbonate, and then added to erythrosine aqueous solution to precipitate the product. The product formed by the condensation of benzaldehyde -4-sulfonic acid and diethylm-aminophenol is dehydrated by concentrated sulfuric acid and oxidized with potassium dichromate, permanganate or ferric chloride to make sodium salt. |
