Indigo Carmine is a deep blue dye that offers a violet to Royal blue shade in applications. Indigo Carmine food colour is water soluble. It is strong as a solid; however, aqueous solutions are not very strong and the colour fades, especially while solutions are uncovered to light. Fading is because of oxidation of the colour to isatin-5-sulfonic acid, which finally oxidizes to 5-sulfo-anthranilic acid.
Red Sun Dye Chem is one of the main Indigo Carmine Manufacturer in India and Indigo Carmine food colour Supplier, Export throughout India and over the world.
