Antibacterial effect of brilliant blue food dye

Brilliant blue is largely found in ice cream, canned processed peas, packet soups, blue raspberry flavored products, dairy products, sweets and drinks. It is also used in soaps, shampoos, mouthwash and other hygiene and cosmetics applications (Archived from Florida). This study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Brilliant blue on Bacillus subtilis as a gram positive bacterial...

Methylene blue dye: an aid to endodontic surgery.

In dentistry, methylene blue dye (injection USP 1%; American Quinine Co., Inc. Shirley, NY) is mainly used for laboratory research. In endodontics, it is used most often in marginal leakage studies to stain and locate those areas of the root canal system not sealed by the obturating material (1). It is also used to treat methemoglobenemia due to prilocaine toxicity (2, 3). Methyleneblue dye is ...

Patent blue dye in lymphaticovenular anastomosis.

INTRODUCTION Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) has been described as a treatment of chronic lymphoedema. This microsurgical technique is new and technically difficult. The small caliber and thin wall lymphatic vessels are difficult to identify and easily destroyed during the dissection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We describe a technique of performing lymphaticovenular anastomosis with patent blu...

Removal of methylene blue dye aqueous solution using photocatalysis

The nano sized TiO2 and ZnO are the most active photocatalysts.  Methylene blue was used as a reference molecule for the photocatalytic degradation. The TiO2 and ZnO can totally remove methylene blue dye. The effect of various process parameters like initial concentration, contact time, dose of catalyst and pH on the extent of removal of dye by photocatalysis in presence o...
