IFC Solutions FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake

IFC Solutions FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake is an insoluble material that tints by dispersion. Lakes are produced from FD&C Dyes and are oil dispersible (but generally not oil soluble) and thus can be mixed with oils and fats. They can also be dispersed or suspended in other carriers such as propylene glycol, glycerin and sucrose (water and sugar).

Applications

Made from FD&C Dyes, FD&C Aluminum Lakes come in a variety of concentrations (Low Dye, Medium Dye, and High Dye). Unlike Dyes, Lakes are fixed in shade. While adding more Dye to a product can shift a shade darker, adding more lake does not have this affect.It’s important to note that FD&C Red 3 Aluminum Lake is not approved for use in food. However, IFC Solutions offers a unique encapsulated FD&C Red 3 powder that mimics the characteristics of an FD&C Red 3 aluminum lake and can be used in food products.
