Indigo Carmine
With rich knowledge and domain experience, we are providing our clients an extensive range of Indigo Carmine which is a royal blue synthetic coal tar dye, normally produced by a synthesis of indoxyl by fusion of sodium phenylglycinate in a mixture of caustic soda and sodamide. This process was introduced following the discovery of the chemical structure of indigo by the Prussian research chemist J F W Adolf von Baeyer in 1883 and was in regular use by 1890. Very little natural indigo from either Isatis tinctoria or Indigofera has been produced commercially since the turn of the century. To ensure non toxic nature, purity and precise pH level, our Indigo Carmine are hygienically formulated in accordance to established industrial parameters using quality proven chemicals sourced from renowned vendors of the country. Used in baked goods, cereals, snack foods and ice cream, these Lake Carmoisine find tremendous usage in Drugs & Cosmetics Industry.
