Product Data Sheet
Tartrazine
Catalog No. A24581
Tartrazine (Acid Yellow 23; FD&C Yellow No. 5) is an orally active synthetic azo dye that appears as an orange-yellow, water-soluble powder producing a bright yellow coloration in solution. It is widely used as a food colorant and in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics due to its high chemical and photostability.
Beyond its industrial applications, Tartrazine has been reported to induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and to exhibit potential biological effects, including neurodevelopmental toxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity under certain experimental conditions. It serves as a model compound in toxicological and biochemical studies investigating the safety and cellular impact of synthetic food dyes.
