Abstract

Food dyes are added to enhance the quality perception of the food. Dyes are of two categories natural dyes and artificial dyes. Natural dyes are extracted from the plants or animal source. So they are quite expensive and not available in large quantity. Artificial dyes are petroleum based products and constitutes aromatic rings. Dyes are extensively used in food items like candies, bakery, confectionery, drinks, rice, cooked as well as processed foods. Despite of its extensive use the ill-health situations caused by over-dosed use of dyes must not be underlooked. Multiple disorders are related to the toxicity of the artificial dyes. Dyes are potentially mutagenic either directly or indirectly.
