Product Information

• Name: Sudan III-d6
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sudan III-d6 is an organic compound that has been used in the past as a food dye. Sudan III-d6 is a synthetic derivative of Sudan I and has been shown to be non-toxic and safe for use as a food dye when used at concentrations below the maximum allowable limit. Sudan III-d6 is soluble in water and can be detected by hyphenated techniques such as liquid chromatography. This dye also has spectral properties that are similar to those of ponceau, which can be detected by sequential experiments. The use of Sudan III-d6 has been validated for regulatory screening and spectroscopic analysis, making it suitable for detecting food adulteration with colouring agents.
