Amaranth Dye, also known as E-123, is an azo dye classified as an endocrine disruptor. 
Amaranth was observed that the lower the pH the higher the degradation. In addition, an enhancement in the photodegradation rate was observed by the addition of hydrogen peroxide as an electron acceptor. The adsorption trends of Amaranth at various initial concentrations followed the Langmuir isotherm trend.

Amaranth is widely used in foods. Cake, fruit desserts, jellies, strategy, etc. used in the use permit. ADI (daily intake) is 0.5 mg/kg. Since the usage is wide, it is possible to make a lot of preparations in this regard if our diet is close to food. Activities such as asthma, children hyperactivity were allowed. use is prohibited. (Austria, America, Russia,..)

Apart from food, there are also cosmetic uses such as medicine, cleaning products, games.

Previously, dye E123 was used in the food industry as an additive in dry mixes for jelly and cake in a mix for dry breakfasts. In addition, the additive E123 is used to prepare biscuits and semi-finished products of soft drinks.

Other Amaranth Applications:
in the cosmetic industry, lipstick, rumen, etc. In its production;
as paint, for coloring paper, natural and synthetic fabrics, leather and phenol formaldehyde resins.

Amaranth is a conventional chemical preparation obtained in a synthetic laboratory. A charcoal resin is used to produce powder.

Amaranth is designed to ensure that food products acquire certain shades:

red with purple notes;
red with blue notes;
red with brown notes.
Apparently, its name derives from the fact that the dye can give color similar to the shade of prevention of the amaranth plant.

The coloring agent is made in the form of a conventional powder - it dissolves freely in any liquid. If you heat the powder to a temperature of 120 degrees Celsius on the Celtius scale and above, it will begin to separate, but no matter what the temperature is, it will not undergo melting.
