Chemical Structure

Food Red No. 3 Aluminum Lake CAS 12227-78-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Food Red No. 3 Aluminum Lake (C20H8I4O5H3Al) is characterized by a salt form, a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Food Red No. 3 Aluminum Lake (CAS 12227-78-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H8I4O5H3Al and a molecular weight of 865.88 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Food Red No. 3 Aluminum Lake meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
