    As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.

    The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.

  4. How to claim on e111?

  5. How to separate lauric acid from alpha naphthol?

    This concerns alpha‑naphthol (not the dye E111, which is Orange GGN); in a lab mixture, lauric acid is typically separated from 1‑naphthol by acid–base extraction (e.g., extract the acid into aqueous bicarbonate, then re‑acidify to recover it).
