Chemical Properties
orange-red fine powder
Uses
Erythrosin B has been used as a dye in fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Uses
Indicator in analytical chemistry.
Uses
Erythrosin B is used as a red coloring in some foods such as cherries and fish. It is used as printing ink, dental plaque disclosing agent and biological stain. It finds application as a radiopaque medium and sensitizer for orthochromatic photographic films. It is utilized as a cake-decorating gel. In addition to this, it is used in sweets such as candies and popsicles.
Preparation
Fluorescein (C.I.Acid Yellow 73, C.L 45350) in aqueous solution or Tetraiodide in ethanol, and made ??the free acid form.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Erythrosin B, also called as eosin B, is a xanthene dye. It belongs to the family of fluorescein dyes. It plays a major role in inhibiting dopamine uptake and high affinity 3H-ouabain binding and ion transport in synaptosomes from rat caudate nucleus.
Properties and Applications
blue light red. Soluble in water for cherry red, no fluorescence. In concentrated sulfuric acid for brown light yellow, dilution after brown light yellow precipitation. Dye aqueous solution to join sodium hydroxide have soluble precipitation. Used in cosmetics coloring.
