A food additive. A coloring agent used to color food. There are natural and chemically synthesized coloring agents, and synthetic coloring agents are tar-based coloring agents. However, tar-based coloring agents are toxic if used continuously, so each country regulates the types and quality of coloring agents by law. Currently, the following 12 types are permitted under the Food Sanitation Act in Japan. Food Red No. 2 (amaranth), No. 3 (erythrosine), No. 40 (Allura Red AC), No. 102 (New Coccine), No. 104 (Phloxine), No. 105 (Rose Bengal), No. 106 (Acid Red), Food Yellow No. 4 (tartrazine), No. 5 (Sunset Yellow FCF), Food Green No. 3 (Fast Green FCF), Food Blue No. 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF), and No. 2 (Indigo Carmine). Dozens of natural coloring agents are permitted for use, including annatto, a red coloring agent extracted from the seeds of the annatto tree, and turmeric, a yellow coloring agent found in the roots of plants in the ginger family. → Related topics Pigments | Dyes Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
