BLOOD ORANGE is our name for FD&C Red 40. It is 94% pure dye and is water soluble. It's color is stable at a pH of 2-11 and over 11 it turns dull yellow. It's batch certified so it's legal for use in appropriate for sale products in the USA. It comes with all applicable paperwork. Because this dye is extremely concentrated, the dye in the bag will not be the same color as it is once it's dissolved. As with any colorant, lighter shades are achieved using less and darker shades achieved using more. This listing is for 1 oz. This will color water more vibrantly than any other colorant, but it's extremely concentrated, so you will use little & you must dissolve it in a diluent containing water before use. The step to dissolve is very easy and instructions are outlined below. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PURE DYE: Add a very small amount of water to a condiment cup. Use a tiny spoon (like a 0.15cc mica spoon) to transfer some dye to the condiment cup. Stir until it's fully dissolved. Your diluent must contain water as these are water soluble. Use the minimum amount needed to dissolve the dye. Run sample tests & keep notes to see how much to use for your recipe or product to get the shade you want. More will give a richer color, less will give a pastel color. Please research the legality of the use of this color in your product and for where you live. Follow the usage rates and guidelines for each individual color. FD&C dyes have an important learning curve to properly use including pre dissolving, pH morphing, U/V fade and differing usage rates. Please do your research. We can't recommend any particular use or advice because it is different in all countries. No legality for a particular product or place is implied by the sale of this dye.
