High-Quality Water-Soluble Food Tartrazine


Key Ingredients


The sole and core ingredient of this product is high-purity Lemon Yellow (chemical name: Tartrazine)—a well-recognized food-safe pigment that meets global food safety regulations. No extraneous additives, impurities, or harmful substances are included in the formulation, ensuring the product’s reliability for sensitive applications like food processing and cosmetic production.

Every batch of Tartrazine undergoes rigorous quality testing to confirm purity, which is critical for achieving uniform coloring across different production runs. This focus on pure, single-ingredient composition means manufacturers can seamlessly integrate the colorant into their formulas without compromising end-product safety or performance.


Product Benefits


Exceptional Coloring Stability

Unlike many colorants that fade or discolor in extreme pH conditions, Tartrazine maintains its bright yellow hue in both acidic environments (e.g., products with citric acid or tartaric acid) and mild alkaline settings. This makes it an ideal stable food colorant for items like jellies, fermented milk drinks, and carbonated beverages, where pH fluctuations often occur during processing or storage. Its resistance to fading ensures products retain their attractive appearance throughout their shelf life.


Versatile Application Scope

This water-soluble colorant offers broad utility across industries:

In food: Perfect for beverage coloring (soft drinks, flavored waters), confectionery coloring (candies, pastries), and dairy coloring (ice cream, yogurt).

In pharmaceuticals: Used for pharmaceutical coloring (coated tablets, syrups) to improve patient acceptance.

In cosmetics: Functions as a cosmetic pigment for lip balms, lotions, and other personal care items.

Beyond these, it can also dye wool and silk, and serve as a pigment for inks and plastics—making it a multi-purpose solution.


High Compatibility

Tartrazine blends seamlessly with other approved food pigments, allowing manufacturers to create custom color shades (e.g., pastel yellows, golden tones) for unique product identities. It also pairs well with common food ingredients like sugars, thickeners, and emulsifiers, ensuring no negative impact on product texture, consistency, or stability. This compatibility simplifies formula development and expands creative possibilities for brands.


Precautions


Storage Guidelines

To preserve the quality of Tartrazine powder , store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and moisture. High humidity or extreme temperatures may cause clumping, which reduces solubility and disrupts uniform color dispersion. Always reseal the packaging tightly after use to prevent contamination or moisture absorption.


Usage Recommendations

When using this food-grade Tartrazine , strictly follow local food safety standards and recommended dosage limits. Overuse of any synthetic colorant should be avoided to align with healthy consumption practices. For non-food applications (e.g., cosmetics, textiles), adhere to industry-specific guidelines to ensure compliance and safety.


Safety Notes

Keep Lemon Yellow colorant out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion. In case of skin contact, rinse with clean water immediately; if ingested accidentally, seek medical advice promptly.
