Citrus Yellow

Description:
Citrus Yellow, with the CAS number 68259-00-7, is a synthetic dye primarily used in the food industry to impart a yellow color to various products, including beverages, candies, and baked goods. It is classified as a color additive and is derived from natural sources, often mimicking the hue found in citrus fruits. This dye is known for its stability under acidic conditions, making it suitable for use in products with low pH levels. Citrus Yellow is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used within established regulatory limits, although its use is subject to specific regulations in different countries. The dye is soluble in water and exhibits good lightfastness, which helps maintain color integrity during storage and processing. However, as with many synthetic colorants, there may be concerns regarding allergic reactions or sensitivities in some individuals. Overall, Citrus Yellow serves as an effective coloring agent, enhancing the visual appeal of food products while adhering to safety standards.
