Application | The edible red pigment No. 2 (Amaranth red pigment) is a Japanese edible synthetic pigment (Japan seborrhei Corporation), content of more than 85%, powder, Japan's original packaging 5kg/barrel, mainly used for the production and processing of various types of food, make the product bright color, color resistance to light and high temperature, long-term storage will not fade. |
content analysis | was determined according to Method 2 of OT-15. Weigh about 3g (accurate to 0.0002g) of the sample and dissolve it in fresh boiling water that has been cooled to room temperature, move it into a 500ml volumetric flask, dilute it to the scale, and shake it well. Draw 50ml sample solution into a 250ml Erlenmeyer flask, add 15g of trisodium citrate and 150ml of water, and heat to boiling while passing carbon dioxide gas flow under the liquid surface, and 0.1mol/L titanium trichloride standard solution titration to colorless as the end point. At the same time, 50ml of water was used instead of the sample solution, and a blank test was performed in the same manner. |

production method | preparation of amaranth sodium 1-Naphthylamine -4-sulfonate was dissolved in 8-9 times the amount (mass) 75~85 ℃ water, filtered, and cooled to 0~5 ℃; Add 1.2~1.5 times the amount (mass) of the original sodium salt of hydrochloric acid, fine crystals of 1-Naphthylamine -4-sulfonic acid are precipitated and cooled to below 5 °c; 1:2 (mass) is slowly added at 3-5 °c. The sodium nitrite solution was diazotized to obtain a slightly yellow paste-like diazo solution. After the reaction, the solution was strongly acidic (blue) to Congo red test paper. Sodium R (2-naphthol -3, 6-disulfonate) Dissolve in 9-10 times the amount (mass) of 60~65 ℃ water, then add part of sodium carbonate (1/5 of the total amount), dissolve and filter, filtrate into the reaction kettle, the remainder of the sodium carbonate was then added, dissolved with stirring and cooled to 5-8 °c; The diazo solution was slowly added for several hours at 10-15 °c and pH 8 for the coupling reaction. After the completion of the reaction (2-naphthol -3, 6-disulfonate slightly excessive), the solution was heated to 50~60 ℃, and then added refined sodium chloride, stirred, and then allowed to cool to room temperature naturally, crystals were precipitated by standing. Dissolve the crystals in 15 times the amount (mass) of 70 ° C clean water, add the appropriate amount of sodium carbonate, so that the solution is slightly alkaline, after filtration, Add refined salt, stirring and adjusting the pH value to 6.5~7.0 with hydrochloric acid, The product was crystallized by standing, separated and dried. Preparation of amaranth red aluminum Lake aluminum hydroxide is prepared from aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate and other aluminum salts and alkali such as sodium carbonate, which is added to the aqueous solution of amaranth and precipitated to obtain the product.

Dissolve sodium 1-Naphthylamine 4-sulfonate in water 8-9 times (mass) 75-85 °c, filter, and cool to 0-5 °c; Add 1.2-1.5 times (mass) of the original sodium salt hydrochloric acid, stirring and standing, precipitation of fine 1-Naphthylamine -4-sodium sulfonate crystals, and then cooled to below 5 deg C; At 3-5 deg C slowly added 1:2 (mass) the sodium nitrite solution was diazotized to obtain a slightly yellow paste-like diazo solution. After the reaction, the solution was strongly acidic (blue) to Congo red test paper. Dissolve sodium R (Sodium 2-naphthol -3, 6-disulfonate) in water 9-10 times (mass) 60-65 °c, then add a portion of sodium carbonate (1/5 of the total) After dissolving and filtering, the filtrate is put into the reaction kettle, then the rest of the sodium carbonate is added, the solution is stirred and cooled to 5-8 ℃, and then at 10-15 ℃ and PH 8, the diazo liquid was slowly added to conduct the coupling reaction for several hours. After the completion of the reaction (2-naphthol -3, 6-disulfonate slightly excess), the solution was heated to 50-60 ℃, added with refined sodium chloride, stirred, and then allowed to naturally cool to room temperature, crystals were precipitated by standing. Dissolve the crystals in 15 times the amount (mass) of 70 ° C clean water, add the appropriate amount of sodium carbonate, so that the solution is slightly alkaline, after filtration, Add refined salt, the mixture was stirred and adjusted to PH 6.5-7.0 with hydrochloric acid, left to crystallize, separated and dried to obtain the product.
