Overall characteristic of food dye E133

E133 dye is a synthetic nutritional supplement of blue (with a red tint), which is used as in food Industryand in other sectors of the national economy. The initial raw material for E133 is a coal tar, and the dye itself is a powder or granulate, which is practically not dissolved in water.

During the production process, the dye blue brilliant FCF is often mixed with other dyes, resulting in green, purple, brown, black and other colors necessary for coloring of certain substances.

In addition to the food industry, the E133 dye is used in the manufacture of medicines, decorative and hygienic cosmetics, cleaning products, as well as in the textile industry - to give the desired colors with products from wool and silk.

Food additive E133. Impact on the body: harm and benefit

Today, the E133 food dye is permitted in many states in the world, including Russia (Customs Union of the EAEU), Ukraine and the European Union. However, this does not mean that this nutritional supplement does not have any negative impact on the human body.

To date, it is reliably known that E133 may harm people who suffer from asthma (sometimes the dye causes the attacks of suffocation), as well as those who have hypersensitivity to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

At the same time, convincing evidence of its toxicity and carcinogenicity also does not yet exist.

In the process of digestion, the diamond Blue FCF is practically not absorbed - about 95% of the dye passes the transit. The remaining 5% for the most part collapsed and give the excreta greenish tint.

It should also be noted that the substance that is very similar to the Brilliant Blue FCF dye - Brilliant Blue G - showed interesting results in the treatment of spinal cord injuries in rats. True, before research on people, the case has not yet come due to the fact that Brilliant Blue G is too cheap and does not represent a commercial interest for potential investors.

The recommended daily consumption of E133 eating dye is limited. The specific value is periodically revised due to the accumulation of statistical data, as well as the emergence of new research data relating to this additive.

Products that use synthetic food dye E133

The list of foods in which the E133 dietary supplement has been seen includes:

• different types of desserts
• ice cream
• canned fruits and vegetables
• without alcoholic beverages
• sweets
• dry breakfast

Finally

E133 food dye is a "dark horse", which already in the near future can be recognized as a very effective drug. However, it can easily ban it to use in the food industry (if suddenly there will be dangerous side effects with time). Therefore, a decision on its security to each of us will have to be taken independently. However, as always ...

Synthetic food dyes - representatives of several classes of organic compounds: Azocrase (Tartrazine - E102; Yellow "Sunny Sunset" - E110; Karmuzin - E122; Punchy 4R-E1124; black shiny - e151); Triarilmethane dyes (blue patented V-E131; blue shiny - E133; green S - E142); quinoline (yellow quinoline - E104); Indigoid (Indigocarmin - E132). All these compounds are well soluble in water, most forms insoluble complexes with metal ions and are used in this form to dye powdered products. Synthetic dyes have significant technological advantages compared to most natural dyes. They give bright, easily reproducible colors and are less sensitive to various types of exposure to which the material is subjected during the process flow.

[Nechaev A.P., Traubenberg S.E., Kochetkova A.A, Food chemistry, 2003]

When using dyes, it should be remembered that they lose some of their painting when painting and stored food products. Synthetic dyes of triphenylmethane rows (E131, E133, E142) in the process of caramel staining are discolored to 10%, during storage - up to 18 %. In general, synthetic dyes are sufficiently stable, the exception is the dyes of triphenylmethane rows, which can be discolored during the storage of alcoholic beverages in the light, and the E132 indigoide dye, which is unstable in drinks using invert sugar. The maximum allowed dosage of synthetic food dyes in an individual form or in total in mixtures is 500 g / t, the recommended - 10-50 g / t of the finished food product depending on the dye and the type of product painted. For punching 4R Maximum dosage 50 g / t finished products. Beforeuse synthetic dyes, you need to make sure of their toxicological safety.

Characteristics of the main synthetic dyes

Stability of the main synthetic dyes

Exchange i: ++ highly resistant; + stable; ± relatively stable; - malstainable; - Unstable.

In the manufacture of food using dyes, it is necessary to consider the following: Introduction to the formulation ethyl alcohol does not change the intensity and shade of the color of the finished product painted with synthetic dyes, with the exception of triarilmethan (E131, E133, E142), which can be significantly discolored in alcoholic beverages;

Preparation and storage of dyes solutions.

The recommended concentration of synthetic dyes solutions is 1%. For the preparation of the solution, 10.0 ± 0.2 g of dry dye is, and dissolved with stirring in 0.5 liters of drinking water. Water is recommended to warm up to 60 ... 80 ° C, when working with blue dyes - up to 90 ... 100 ° C. It is advisable to use softened water. After a complete dissolution of the dye (5 ... 10 minutes), 0.49 liters of water are added to the resulting solution, and after cooling the solution to 20 ... 40 ° C, it is filtered through a layer of white cotton fabric (Boszi). In 10 g of such a solution contains 0.1 g of dye.

Each container with the solution should be equipped with a label containing the name of the dye, the composition of the solution and the date of preparation.

Solutions of food dyes are stored in a dark place at a temperature of 15 ... 25 ° C. Shelf life B. conventional conditions food made should not exceed two or three days.

The shelf life of dyes solutions can be increased with preservatives - sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate. In this case, 840 ml of water is used to prepare a solution of the dye. In one half of the remaining water (75 ml) dissolve 0.8 g of preservative, and in the remaining 75 ml - 0.4 g citric acid. A solution of a preservative is poured into the solution of the dye, and then the citric acid solution is thoroughly mixed. It is impossible to mix the solutions of preservative and citric acid before adding to the dye, since the resulting benzoic or sorbic acid It may fall into the sediment.

Stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents are described widely used in various sectors. Almost all currently known substances of this group are considered, their chemical formulas and properties are given, sources and methods of obtaining are given. The book is designed for food industry specialists, and will also be useful to students and graduate students of specialized higher educational institutions.
