Erioglaucine disodium salt
Vivid Blue Color: Brilliant Blue produces an intense and uniform blue shade, making it well-suited for applications requiring vibrant color presentation in food and beverage products.
Water Solubility: It is highly water-soluble, which contributes to its functional versatility across a broad spectrum of liquid and solid formulations.
Stability: The colorant demonstrates notable stability under exposure to light and heat, particularly in neutral to alkaline conditions, enabling it to retain its color integrity under typical processing and storage conditions.
Widely Approved: Brilliant Blue holds approvals from major international regulatory bodies and is commonly utilized in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
Brilliant Blue, known alternatively as Food Cyan No. 1 or Food Blue No. 2, is a water-soluble synthetic colorant belonging to the phthalocyanine family. It is chemically produced by the condensation of benzaldehyde-2-sulfonic acid with N-ethyl-N-(3-sulfobenzyl)aniline, followed by oxidation. Exhibiting a bright blue tone and high solubility in aqueous systems, it is widely applied in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products such as confectionery, dairy items, and liquid preparations. The colorant demonstrates strong stability under light and heat in neutral to alkaline conditions, though its performance moderates in acidic environments. It is authorized for food use in many countries under major international food safety standards.
