Tartrazine, commonly known as FD&C Yellow 5 in the United States, and E102 in the European Union, is a bright yellow azo dye that is one of the most common yellow food colorants.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Tartrazine is highly soluble in water as the trisodium salt, though the free acid is very insoluble in water.
Physical
Tartrazine is a yellow solid compound, soluble in water and glycols.
Tartrazine's maximum absorbance in aqueous solution is 425 nm.[3]
Availability
While tartrazine is present in a wide variety of foods, including being the sole colorant of many brands of pickles and Lemon-Lime flavored Gatorade, the amounts that it is used in are so small that it is not worth isolating from these sources. Readily available yellow food coloring will often contain tartrazine, though it will usually be mixed with Sunset Yellow FCF (FD&C Yellow 6). These two dyes exhibit similar chemical properties, and thus would be difficult to separate, though it may be possible to do so by careful pH adjustment.
Preparation
Tartrazine can be prepared in a multiple step procedure starting with sulfanilic acid and sodium diethyl oxaloacetate.
Projects
- Yellow dye
Handling
Safety
Tartrazine is safe to handle, though it should not be consumed in macroscopic amounts. The amounts used in food are very small. It will not penetrate the skin, but it will stain the surface yellow.
Storage
Tartrazine is very stable and can be stored in virtually any airtight container at room temperature.
Disposal
Tartrazine can be disposed of by washing it down the drain with copious amounts of water.
