Properties and stability
1. Use and store according to specifications. It will not decompose and avoid contact with oxides
2. The color changes with the pH value. The pH value of 4~6 is red, the pH value of 8 is purple, and the pH value of 10~12 is blue. color. It has good light resistance, heat resistance and oxidation resistance, is unstable to reducing dose, and turns dark purple when exposed to iron ions. It has certain antibacterial effect.
Storage method
1. Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. The packaging is sealed. They should be stored separately from acids and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.
Synthesis method
1. Use the roots of Lithospermum sinensis as raw material, extract it with 4 times the amount (mass) of refined soybean oil at 165-170°C for 6 minutes, and then separate it with 95% ethanol (volume ratio) slightly more than the soybean oil. Extract the extract twice; concentrate the ethanol extract under a vacuum of 80kPa, and then filter out the insoluble matter to obtain the finished product.
2.Lithospermum root is extracted with ethanol, propylene glycol, edible oil, water, etc. Our country has been used in dyes and pharmaceuticals since ancient times (it has antipyretic and detoxifying effects).
Purpose
1. As a food coloring agent, our country stipulates that it can be used in fruit juice (flavored) beverages, fruit wine, ice cream and popsicles, with a maximum usage of 0.1g/kg.
2.Used for cosmetic coloring.
