Synonyms CI Food Red 17
Definition Allura Red AC consists essentially of disodium 2hydroxy-1-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-sulfonatophenylazo)
naphthalene-6-sulfonate and subsidiary
colouring matters together with sodium chloride and/or
sodium sulphate as the principal uncoloured
components. Allura Red AC is manufactured by
coupling diazotized 5-amino-4-methoxy-2toluenesulphonic
acid with 6-hydroxy-2-naphthalene
sulphonic acid
Colour Index No 16035
EINECS 247-368-0
Allura Red AC is described as the sodium salt. The
calcium and the potassium salt are also permitted.
