The Tartrazine solution appears as a clear, bright yellow liquid. It has a density of approximately 1.05 g/cm³ and is soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into aqueous formulations. The solution has a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0, which is typical for many dye solutions. Tartrazine itself has a melting point of 300 °C (decomposes) and a boiling point of 100 °C when in solution. The solution is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
