The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy with erythrosine and rose bengal using a light-emitting diode (LED) on planktonic cultures of S. mutans. Ten S. mutans strains, including nine clinical strains and one reference strain (ATCC 35688), were used. Suspensions containing 10⁶ cells/mL were prepared for each strain and were tested under different experiment...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to increase the bacterial cell killing efficacy of erythrosine-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) of Streptococcus mutans biofilms by fractionating the delivered light dose into a series of shorter pulses. METHODS S. mutans biofilms of 200 microm thickness were grown in a constant-depth film fermenter (CDFF). Biofilms were incubated with 22 microM erythrosine before being...

Erythrosine B is widely used for dyeing in various applications, especially in the food industry, despite its already proved toxicity and carcinogenicity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the synthesis process of US/S2O8-2 in removing erythrosine B dye from aqueous solution. In this experimental study, the removal of erythros...

BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been suggested as an efficient clinical approach for the treatment of dental plaque in the field of dental care. In PDT, once the photosensitizer is irradiated with light of a specific wavelength, it transfers the excitation energy to molecular oxygen, which gives rise to singlet oxygen. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Since plaque disclosing agents us...

We describe a procedure for treatment of thin-layer chromatographic serum lipid patterns so that they may be stained by dyes for evaluation by densitometry. After development of the chromatogram [Clin. Chem. 18, 384 (1972)] the plates are dried and sprayed with butyryl chloride. This esterifies the free cholesterol. After drying, the plate is treated with iodine monobromide, to add iodline to t...

Direct selective detection of erythrosine in saffron in the presence of other synthetic dyes considers its fluorescence at 532 nm excitation/548 nm emission. Saffron pre-treatment was according to the ISO 3632-2 trade standard test methods. On account of calculated quantum yield values, none of the yellow dyes is expected to interfere. Among red ones, reservations about allura red AC, azorubine...

In this research paper, a simple and economic ionic liquid-based liquid-liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME) procedure was developed to ensure efficient rapid separation preconcentration of erythrosine from cosmetic food samples. Important parameters such as IL volume, temperature, acetone ultrasonic time pH that may affect the IL-DLLME have been optimized by central composite design (CCD) based o...

In this study, the trace amounts of erythrosine, as a food dye is determined by cloud point extraction-scanometry (CPE-Scanometry) as a new, facile, available, fast, sensitive, and low cost method. The method is based on the CPE of analyte from aqueous solution, diluting the extracted surfactant-rich phase with ethanol, transfer to Plexiglascell and scanning the cells containing the analyte sol...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a process that uses photosensitizing substances to produce reactive oxygen species. This achieved by exposing photosensitizers specific wavelengths of light and causing oxidative damage in cells. sterilization technique commonly utilized has been extensively investigated owing its environmentally friendly inert characteristics. In this study, erythrosine was s...

There are very few studies evaluating the exposure of general population to food colours. This study aimed estimate Theoretical Maximum Daily Intake (TMDI) by Brazilian four rather seldom-used synthetic colours: Azorubine, Erythrosine, Indigotine, and Ponceau 4R. The was conducted using data from two most recent National Household Budget Surveys (carried out in 2008/2009 2017/2018). covered cou...
