MindMap Gallery Food additive: The role of amaranth
Amaranth is an artificially synthesized azo dye-based food additive with good water solubility. It is commonly used to color candies, beverages, and baked goods, imparting a vivid red hue. Although Amaranth is generally considered safe when used in moderation, intake should be controlled to avoid potential risks. Additionally, Amaranth is prone to fading under light and high temperature conditions, necessitating storage in a dark and cool place. Strict regulations govern the use of food additives in various countries to ensure their safe use.
