introduction | indigo is a vat dye with a history of more than 3,000 years. During the Warring States Period, Xun Kuang's famous sentence "Green is better than blue from blue" originated from the blue dyeing technology at that time. "Green" here refers to cyan, and "blue" refers to the bluegrass that makes indigo. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the application of indigo was quite common. |
traits | dark blue powder, insoluble in water. |
uses | all kinds of fabrics are dyed with blue colorant, indigo color is rich and has very good fastness. they have been loved by people for thousands of years. edible synthetic pigments are suitable for use with other pigments. as a food colorant, China stipulates that it can be used in red and green silk with a maximum usage of 0.02 g/kg; In fruit juice (flavor) drinks, carbonated drinks, prepared wine, candy, colored cakes, dyed cherry cans (for decoration) and green plum, the maximum usage is 0.10 g/kg; The maximum usage in dipped side dishes is 0.01 g/kg. mainly used for dyeing cotton yarn, cotton cloth, wool or silk reduced indigo is mainly used for dyeing cotton yarn and cotton cloth, and is the main dye for dyeing blue denim. It is also used for dyeing wool and silk and as food coloring and organic pigments. Eat blue pigment. Mainly used for dyeing cotton yarn, cotton cloth, wool or silk. Pure products are used to make food dyes or process them into organic pigments. Used for biochemical agents and indicators. |
production method | an edible natural blue pigment made from the leaves of polygonum (Polygonum tinctorium). Accumulate the indigo leaves and water them frequently to ferment for 2 to 3 months to become black soil. After pounding with mortar, it is called ball indigo, containing 2% ~ 10% indigo pigment. Add wood ash, lime and bran into the ball indigo, add water to mix, heat to 30~40 ℃, expose to the air, and become blue insoluble indigo. Using phenylglycine as raw material, indoxol is obtained by alkali fusion, and then oxidized with air to obtain the product. There are many methods for the synthesis of phenylglycine. my country basically adopts the condensation method of aniline and chloroacetic acid. For the convenience of refining phenylglycine, the insoluble iron salt is first prepared to remove impurities, and then converted into soluble sodium salt, Enter the alkali melting process.. (1) preparation of indigo. Edible indigo is actually disodium indigo disulfonic acid, sulfonated from indigo with concentrated sulfuric acid, diluted with water after sulfonation, neutralized with soda ash, and finally added sodium chloride salted out, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the finished product. (2) Preparation of indigo aluminum lake. Aluminum hydroxide is prepared from aluminum salts such as aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate and bases such as sodium carbonate, and then added to the lime indigo aqueous solution to precipitate the product. |
