Tartrazine (Lemon Yellow), also known as edible yellow No.4, tartar yellow, and acidic pale yellow, is a premium acidic synthetic colorant and water-soluble azo pigment exclusively designed for bulk commercial manufacturing. With a molecular formula of C₁₆H₉N₄Na₃O₉S₂ and relative molecular mass of 534.37, this product presents as an odorless yellow to orange-yellow powder, with excellent solubility profiles: readily soluble in water, glycerol, and propylene glycol, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in oils. Manufactured by ZIO Chemical, a specialist with over 20 years of experience in food additives, our food-grade tartrazine colorant strictly complies with international food safety standards, delivering consistent, reliable performance for industrial buyers and commercial formulation enterprises across the globe.

Our lemon yellow pigment maintains outstanding stability in tartaric acid and citric acid, making it one of the most reliable acid-resistant colorants for commercial food production. It can be seamlessly compounded with other food pigments, with perfect compatibility to create custom color solutions, reducing formulation adjustment costs and batch-to-batch variation for manufacturers.
The water-soluble tartrazine colorant dissolves rapidly to form a bright, uniform yellow solution, with stable color retention even when exposed to sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide. This ensures consistent color performance across extreme processing conditions, eliminating batch rework and improving production efficiency for bulk manufacturing.
Our product holds ISO, SGS, and REACH certifications, with strict raw material selection and full quality control throughout production. This minimizes regulatory compliance risks for commercial clients distributing products across more than 120 countries and regions, supporting seamless market access.
With high tinting strength and low usage requirements, our edible yellow No.4 pigment delivers excellent cost efficiency for large-scale manufacturing, while our large-scale production capacity ensures stable, uninterrupted supply for long-term commercial partners.
