Various medications include tartrazine to give a yellow, orange or green hue to a liquid, capsule, pill, lotion, or gel, primarily for easy identification. [9] Types of pharmaceutical products that may contain tartrazine include vitamins, antacids, cold medications (including cough drops and throat lozenges), lotions and prescription drugs.
A yellow filter prevents blue light from exposing the green- and red-sensitive layers, which have some sensitivity to blue light. [ 3 ] The E-4 process is faster than E-3; whereas E-3 required 15 steps and up to 70 minutes from start to finish, [ 2 ] [ 4 ] : 30–31 E-4 was completed in approximately 50 minutes over 13 steps.

It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results. [1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive. [2]
The FDA has banned red dye No. 3, as the synthetic additive is known to cause cancer. Nutritionists Ilana Muhlstein and Robin DeCicco discuss what this means for American health.
Eoxin E 4 (EXE 4), also known as 14,15-leukotriene E 4, is an eoxin. Cells make eoxins by metabolizing arachidonic acid with a 15-lipoxygenase enzyme to form 15( S )-hydroperoxyeicosapentaenoic acid (i.e. 15( S )-HpETE).
The Mecke reagent is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids as well as other compounds. It is composed of a mixture of selenous acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, [1] which is dripped onto the substance being tested.
The reversal step can also be carried out using 800 footcandle-seconds (8.6 klx·s) of light — this variation is used by process engineers to troubleshoot reversal bath chemistry problems such as contamination and issues of low tank turnover as process volumes decline.

Meprobamate—marketed as Miltown by Wallace Laboratories and Equanil by Wyeth, among others—is a carbamate derivative used as an anxiolytic drug. It was the best-selling minor tranquilizer for a time, but has largely been replaced by the benzodiazepines due to their wider therapeutic index (lower risk of toxicity at therapeutically prescribed doses) and lower incidence of serious side effects.
