Indigo Carmine Food Color is a water-soluble synthetic dye that provides a deep blue shade with excellent stability and uniform dispersion. It is commonly used in beverages, confectionery, bakery, and processed foods for vibrant and consistent coloring.

Indigo Carmine mainly comprises of a mixture of disodium 3,3' - dioxo-2,2' - bi-indolyldene-5,7' –disulfonate, disodium 3,3' dioxo - 2,2' -bi-indolylidene-5,5' - disulfonate, subsidiary coloring matters along with sodium chloride/sodium sulfate as principal uncolored component. The organic compounds other than coloring matters it uses include 5-sulfoanthranilic acid; Isatin-5-sulfonic acid (Total not more than 0.5%).

Meldola''s Blue finds use as component in redox sensors that support detection of materials like hydrogen peroxide, glucose, NADH, pyruvates, 3-hydroxybutyrate. Further, it is also used in electrochemical experiments that involve DNA dye requires electron transport.

Features :

• Dye is used as pigment in areas like paper, textiles, paints
• Used as component in redox sensors that allows detection of materials like hydrogen peroxide, glucose, NADH, pyruvates, 3-hydroxy- butyrate
• Also used in electrochemical experiment that involves DNA where dye mediates electron transport
