Surfactants – Anionic

RawSource's anionic line for food and beverage is small, and it reflects how thencatalog classifies items by molecular charge rather than by use. The three productsngrouped here carry anionic or zwitterionic groups, but their food function is not emulsification:ntwo are certified FD&C color additives (Red No. 4 and Red No. 40) and one is taurine, annamino-sulfonic acid supplied as a functional ingredient.

For the certified colors, the trade-off is precision against regulatory exposure. Syntheticncertified dyes deliver an exact, batch-reproducible shade with strong stability in low-pHnbeverages and confectionery, where natural colorants vary lot to lot. Against that, colornadditives are subject to FDA batch certification and listing, and several face tighteningnstate-level restrictions. FD&C Red No. 4 in particular is not broadly permitted for general foodnuse. Confirm current FDA color-additive status for your application before specifying.

Taurine is supplied as a functional ingredient, commonly used in beverage formulation. Classicnanionic food emulsifiers such as stearoyl lactylates or DATEM are not part of this anionic-classednset. For oil-in-water emulsification, the nonionic polysorbate and sorbitan-ester line is thenworking set.
