Carmoisine Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Azorubine
- E122
- Acid Red 14
- CI 14720
Carmoisine is a synthetic azo dye for bulk raw-material enquiries in Malaysia. It gives a red to bordeaux shade and is also known as azorubine, E122, Acid Red 14 and Colour Index 14720.
Buyers may specify food-grade or technical-grade carmoisine as water-soluble powder or granules. Carmoisine aluminium lake is a separate form of the same colour identity for oil-based or dispersed systems, and the required dye or lake form should be stated clearly.
Food-grade enquiries commonly relate to confectionery, jellies, desserts, beverages and bakery products, while technical grades serve non-food colouring applications. Carmoisine is not carmine, Allura Red, Ponceau 4R, amaranth or erythrosine; each is a distinct colourant.
Send the required grade, form, specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Carmoisine applications
Common questions about carmoisine
Are carmoisine, azorubine and E122 the same colour?
Yes. Carmoisine and azorubine are names for the same dye, while E122 is its food-additive identifier. Acid Red 14 and CI 14720 are also used to identify this colour.
What is the difference between carmoisine dye and carmoisine lake?
The dye form is a water-soluble powder or granules for aqueous formulations. Carmoisine aluminium lake is the dispersed form specified for oil-based or other systems where a lake is required.
Should I request food-grade or technical-grade carmoisine?
Request the grade named in the product specification and state the intended application. Food and technical grades should not be treated as interchangeable, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Is carmoisine the same as carmine or other red food colours?
No. Carmine or cochineal E120, Allura Red E129, Ponceau 4R E124, amaranth E123 and erythrosine E127 are different colourants and should be requested by their own names.
Which applications commonly specify carmoisine food colour?
Relevant food-grade applications include confectionery, jellies, desserts, beverages and bakery products. The buyer should provide the finished-product application and required specification with the enquiry.
What details are needed for a carmoisine quotation?
Send the grade, powder, granule or lake form, required specification, quantity, application, delivery location and document needs. Packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
