vegetable oils shall be used, either singly or in a mixture.
The solution of annatto colour in oils shall be clear and shall
- 506 -
remain so on storage in suitable containers at 15oC except for a slight
deposit of stearine or shall be in the form of a suspension. The
suspension on dilution with hot oil to bring the bixin content to 0.24
per cent shall be a clear solution.
Colour
The colour of solution in amyl acetate at a dilution of 1:1000 (m/v)
when measured in a Lovibond Tintometer with a 1 cm Cell
Spectrophotometrically/Calorimeterically shall be not less than the
following:
