Erythrosine (ErB) is a xanthene and an US Food and Drug Administration approved dye used in foods, drugs and cosmetics. Although its utilization is permitted, ErB is described as inhibitor of enzymes and protein-protein interactions and is toxic to pituitary and spermatogenesis processes. However, the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of ErB is inconclusive in the literature. This study aimed to an...

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...

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...

BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. AD is a degenerative brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It has been suggested that aggregation of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) is closely linked to the development of AD pathology. In the search for safe, effective modulators, we evaluated the modulating capabilities of erythrosine B (ER),...
