APPLICATIONS
In the US, E 122 color was listed in 1939 as FD&C Red No. 10 for use in externally applied drugs and cosmetics.
E 122 was delisted in 1963 because no party was interested in supporting the studies needed to establish safety.
E 122 was not used in food in the US.
In the EU, azorubine is known as E number E 122, and is authorized for use in certain foods and beverages, such as cheeses, dried fruit, and some alcoholic beverages, and is permitted for use as an excipient in medications.
There are no provisions for E 122 in the Codex Alimentarius.
E 122 is a synthetic azo dye.
Also, E 122 is a red food colorant.
E 122 is very soluble in water.
Since E 122 is an azo dye, salicylates cause intolerance in humans .
In addition, E 122 releases histamine and intensifies asthma symptoms.
In combination with benzoates, E 122 can even cause hyperactivity in children.
E 122 coded food colorant is used in many areas.
When we look at the food sector; E 122 can be found in flavored beverages, chewing gums, candies, ice creams, edible ice products.
In other sectors, we can encounter E 122 especially in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, play dough and cleaning products.
The main use of E 122 is in the food industry, where the food additive is used to make food products pink, red or (in combination with other dyes) purple and brown. E 122 is part of spices and various snacks, dairy products, marmalades, jams, desserts, sauces and canned fruit,sausages,processed cheese, fruit juices, alcoholic and non-alcoholic products.

In appearance, the food additive E122 is a powder or granule with a bright red or dark burgundy color.
E 122 is supplied for industry in the form of disodium salt or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
E 122 has no odor and taste, dissolves well in it.
It is popular with manufacturers as E 122 has high light sensitivity and heat treatment resistance.
The main feature of E 122 is coloring.
E 122 can improve the natural color of the product or restore it if it has been lost after thermal or other processing.
E 122 can also color food from pink to purple, and in combination with other dyes it gives orange, brown or purple hues.
E 122 is a synthetic substance that belongs to the group of food additives-dyes.
As a rule, E 122 is used for coloring or restoring the color of foods that have undergone heat treatment.

E122 supplementation is banned in many countries.
The synthetic substance E 122 can be found on product labels under various names: carmoisine, food red, E122 or acid red (although in the final version it is often indicated in medicines).
Synthetic material has no analogues in living nature and is obtained in laboratories by chemical reactions.
Although today there is more accurate information about the existence of harm caused by the introduction of the dye into the human body than the data on its safety, mostfood productscontains this substance, whose usefulness is questionable.
The main application of E 122 is the food industry, where the food additive is used to give food pink, red or (in combination with other dyes) purple and brown colors.

E 122 is an additive that gives red color to foods.
Also, E 122 is in the class of artificial colorants.
E 122 can be found in powder or granule form.
Its good solubility in water increases the usage areas.
E 122 is slightly soluble in ethanol.
E 122 can cause skin reactions and problems such as hyperactivity and distractibility in children.
Considering that the daily intake is determined as 0-4 mg/kg, it is possible for children to exceed this value.
Because they are generally used in products preferred by children.
Widespread use should be avoided.
According to the Turkish Food Codex Regulation on Food Additives, after the name and code of the additive in the products using E 122, a statement should be included as 'it may have negative effects on the activity and attention of children'.
E 122 is Reddish-brown crystals or dark maroon powder.
Azorubin (Carmoisine, Azorubine, Carmoisine, E122) is a synthetic red dye. According to the chemical composition, it is a coal tar derivative. Chemical formula C20H12N2Na2O7S2.

Eating E 122 in food can cause allergic reactions in the form of a skin rash.
People with bronchial asthma and intolerance to anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs (aspirin asthma) should be especially careful when using products containing E122 dye.
Recent research conducted by the University of Southampton, commissioned by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), has shown that eating foods containing E 122 supplements leads to increased hyperactivity and decreased alertness in children.
As a result of these studies, it was decided to ban the use of six dyes in England as of 2010.

The World Health Organization, together with the FAO,daily rateConsumption of azorubin at the level of 4 mg / kg body weight.
Azorubin (dye - E 122) is used in the food industry, as well as in cosmetics and perfumery.
The chemical properties of the dye E 122 Azorubin are determined by the composition of the synthetically obtained food additive, which dyes the food in a red-brown color scheme.
Other names for the E 122 food additive can also be found on the food packaging, for example Carmoisine or Azorubine.
E 122 Azorubin dye contains coal tar, which may harm the human body.

PRODUCTION
E 122 is chemically synthesized by a multi-step process called coupling.
In this process, azo groups characteristic of azo dyes are formed from two nitrogen atoms.
The name azorubin usually refers to the sodium salt of this group.
Calcium and potassium salts and aluminum lakes of E 122 are also permitted.
SAFETY
E 122 has shown no evidence of mutagenic or carcinogenic properties and an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–4 mg/kg was established in 1983 by the WHO.
In rare instances, E 122 may cause skin and respiratory allergic reactions even to FDA approved dosages.
No evidence supports broad claims that food coloring causes food intolerance and ADHD-like behavior in children.
It is possible that certain food coloring may act as a trigger in those who are genetically predisposed, but the evidence is weak.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
According to international standards, carmoisine must be stored and transported in corrugated cardboard boxes or shopping bags - fabric or paper.
Once filled, it is sealed or tied with a series of natural fibers.
The container must have a polyethylene liner and the corresponding marking on the container itself.
