Available forms

Formulation note: pH

Erythrosine is sensitive to low pH (below 4.5), which causes it to lose solubility.

Pro tip

Erythrosine is not recommended for acidic drinks such as soft drinks, squashes and fruit beverages. For these, choose an acid-stable red such as Allura Red (E129) or Ponceau 4R (E124). We can help you pick the right shade.

Check your market first

Permitted use of Erythrosine differs by country and by food category, and rules can change. Confirm the position in your destination market before ordering. We share the documents we hold on request.

Find your answer

Read most frequent questions about Erythrosine

Is Erythrosine water soluble?

Yes. Erythrosine is water soluble, at about 75 g/l at room temperature. It loses solubility below pH 4.5, so it suits neutral products better than acidic drinks. For acidic beverages, we recommend Allura Red (E129) or Ponceau 4R (E124) instead.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order is 100 kg. Smaller sample quantities can be arranged so you can test before ordering.

Which forms do you supply?

We supply Erythrosine as powder, liquid, and granules or crystals. Tell us your process and we will suggest the form to trial.

How is it packed and shipped?

It ships in 25 kg HDPE drums with dual LDPE liners, by sea (FCL or LCL) or by air. Sea shipments leave from Nhava Sheva or Mundra, and air shipments from Mumbai or Ahmedabad.

Which Incoterms and payment terms do you offer?

We quote FOB and CIF. Payment is by TT (bank transfer) or letter of credit.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery typically takes 3 to 4 weeks, depending on destination and shipping mode. Confirm the schedule for your quantity when you place the order.

Which documents come with the order, and what quality documents are available?

Typically, documentation includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS), and export-ready documentation to support global trade requirements. Each shipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list, non-hazardous certificate, COA and SDS. Other export papers can be prepared on request.

Is Erythrosine suitable for large-scale production?

Yes. It is suitable for industrial use because of its strong colour strength, excellent solubility, and consistent batch-to-batch quality when sourced from a reliable manufacturer. Always approve a sample on your own line before scaling up.

What is the shelf life?

When stored as directed, Erythrosine has a long shelf life of 5 years. The exact period and storage conditions are in the product documentation.

Can you support export documentation?

Yes. As an export-focused manufacturer, we provide complete documentation support such as COA, MSDS, packing list, invoice, and other export-required papers.

What quality standards do you follow?

Our Erythrosine is manufactured following strict quality control procedures, supported by comprehensive testing and documentation to meet applicable food and export requirements.

Can I use Erythrosine in my country?

That depends on the country and the product category, and rules change over time. Check with your local authority or regulatory adviser, and tell us your destination so we can share the documents we hold.

What support can buyers expect after purchase?

Buyers receive ongoing support including documentation assistance, technical guidance, and responsive service to ensure smooth and reliable long-term supply, plus help with reorders.
