Azorubine is a synthetic red food dye from the azo dye group. It is a red to maroon powder used for the purposes where the food is heat-treated after fermentation. It can be used in blancmange, marzipan, Swiss roll, jams, preserves, yoghurts, jellies, breadcrumbs, and cheesecake mixes. It is also present in Oraldene Mouthwash.
Azorubine is commonly used in the UK, but it is a prohibited food additive in Japan, Norway, and the U.S. A study commissioned by the UK's Food Standards Agency found that when used in a mixture of other preservatives, it was observed to increase the levels of hyperactivity in children.
The growth of the global Azorubine market is driven by food & beverage industry, such as dried fruits, cheese, and some alcoholic beverages as they are cheap to produce and more stable than most natural food dyes.
