Erythrosine, also known as Red No. 3, is an organoiodine compound, specifically a derivative of fluorone. It is a pink dye which is primarily used for food coloring. [2] It is the disodium salt of 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein. Its maximum absorbance is at 530 nm [3] in an aqueous solution, and it is subject to photodegradation.
The dye itself can be directly absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. [14] The stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin also called the “horny layer”) contains a “lipid domain” that allows the dye to pool and provide opportunity to diffuse into the body. [14] Some hair dyes can also irritate the skin with prolonged ...
The color of the dye is pH-dependent. In aqueous solution, its color will vary from a deep blue in alkaline or weakly acidic medium to a yellow–orange in stronger acidic conditions. It is useful as a pH indicator for the range 0.8–3.0. [3] The structure is also redox-sensitive, changing from a reduced yellow form to an oxidized red form in ...
