Color development

Dissolve a few drops of nitromethane in 10% sodium hydroxide solution. Add a few crystals of sodium nitrite and shake. Now add dilute sulphuric acid drop by drop. A brownish-red coloration develops, but fades again when an excess of acid is added. The sulphuric acid has thus liberated nitrous acid, which has in turn reacted with the nitromethane to give a nitrolic acid, the sodium salt of which is CH3NO2 + ONOH = CH(N02) N0H + HgO reddish-brown in colour, probably owing to mesomeric ions of the type ... 

To a cold aqueous solution of picric acid, add about an equal volume of dilute potassium cyanide solution. An orange coloration develops and rapidly darkens to a deep red. 

Ltebermann Reaction To 1 minute crystal of sodium nitrite in a clean dry test-tube add 0 5 g. of phenol and heat very gently for about 20 seconds allow to cool and add twice the volume of cone. H2S04. On rotating the tube slowly in order to mix the contents, a deep green or deep blue coloration develops (some times only after i 2 minutes). Dilute cautiously with water the solution turns red. Now add an excess of NaOH solution the green or blue coloration reappears.

Animals that do not readily accept pelleted feeds may be enticed to do so if the feed carries an odor that induces ingestion. Color development is an important consideration in aquarium species and some animals produced for human food. External coloration is desired in aquarium species. Pink flesh in cultured salmon is desired by much of the consuming pubHc. Coloration, whether external or of the flesh, can be achieved by incorporating ingredients that contain pigments or by adding extracts or synthetic compounds. One class of additives that imparts color is the carotenoids. 

A good compilation of the functions of fats in various food products is available (26). Some functions are quite subtle, eg, fats lend sheen, color, color development, and crystallinity. One of the principal roles is that of texture modification which includes viscosity, tenderness (shortening), control of ice crystals, elasticity, and flakiness, as in puff pastry. Fats also contribute to moisture retention, flavor in cultured dairy products, and heat transfer in deep fried foods. For the new technology of microwave cooking, fats assist in the distribution of the heating patterns of microwave cooking. 

Metallic Dyes. MetaUic dyes are among the older hair color materials known. Commercial products are based on a 1% solution of lead acetate in an aqueous, slightly acidic, alcohoHc medium. Precipitated sulfur appears to be essential. The convenience aspect is stressed by the leave-in appHcation method. Actually, the color development is so slow, taking about a week to ten days, that there is no alternative to this technique. Daily appHcation is needed at first. 

The MauIg Color Reaction. The procedure for this test consists basically of three sequential treatments of lignified material with 1% potassium permanganate, 3% hydrochloric acid, and concentrated ammonium hydroxide. A red-purple color develops for hardwoods and a brown color... 

Nickel salts and soaps have been used in electrosensitive copy paper for image development. Nickel bis-(3,5 di-Z fZ-butylsaHcylate) [68569-24-4] has been studied in pressure-sensitive color developer sheets (201). It has also been used for color stabili2ation of color copy paper (see Electroplating). 

Stabilizers. Nitro alcohols can be used to prevent the decomposition of phenylenediarnine color-developing agents (27). 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol and 2-nitro-1-butanol have been used as additives for the stabilization of 1,1,1-trichloroethane. 

Secondary nitroparaffins give alkali-insoluble nitroso derivatives known as pseudonitroles. As monomers in the hquid state, pseudonitroles have a characteristic blue color as sohds they exist as white crystalline dimers. Tertiary nitroparaffins do not react with nitrous acid and no color develops. 

A measure of the color developed by impurities when trimeUitate esters are produced can be correlated with the anhydride color measurement. The method measures the color difference in light transmittance between a trimellitic solution and a 3.0 N sodium hydroxide solution as a reference. The difference in light transmittance or AH (total color difference) is obtained using a colorimeter. 

Indicators can determine if uniform steam penetration has been achieved during a Bowie Dick-type test. Produced in the form of sheets (23 X 30 cm), chemical indicators are capable of uniform color change over their entire surface when exposed to pure saturated steam under test conditions. Nonuniform color development is an indication of failure of the test. U.S. and international stands for the performance and accuracy of chemical indicators have been pubHshed (13,14).

Bromide ndIodide. The spectrophotometric determination of trace bromide concentration is based on the bromide catalysis of iodine oxidation to iodate by permanganate in acidic solution. Iodide can also be measured spectrophotometricaHy by selective oxidation to iodine by potassium peroxymonosulfate (KHSO ). The iodine reacts with colorless leucocrystal violet to produce the highly colored leucocrystal violet dye. Greater than 200 mg/L of chloride interferes with the color development. Trace concentrations of iodide are determined by its abiUty to cataly2e ceric ion reduction by arsenous acid. The reduction reaction is stopped at a specific time by the addition of ferrous ammonium sulfate. The ferrous ion is oxidi2ed to ferric ion, which then reacts with thiocyanate to produce a deep red complex. 

In addition to a continued increase in the number of use patents in these fields, a new use of xanthates as inhibitors of fertiliser nitrogen transformation in soil has been reported, as well as the use of certain metal xanthates as color developers for image-recording materials (113,114) (see Fertilizers Color photography). For several years, sodium isopropyl xanthate was used as an intermediate in the manufacture of saccharin (see... 

These compounds are used most frequentiy in combination with hindered phenols for a broad range of apphcations in mbber and plastics. They are also able to suppress color development caused by oxidation of the substrate and the phenoHc antioxidant. Unlike phenols and secondary aromatic amines, phosphoms-based stabilizers generally do not develop colored oxidation products. 

The NF and reagent grades are employed in the pharmaceutical industry which makes use of benzyl alcohol s local anesthetic, antiseptic, and solvent properties (17—20). It also finds use in cough symps and drops ophthalmic solutions bum, dental (21), and insect repeUant solutions and ointments and dermatological aerosol sprays. It is used in nail lacquers and as a color developer in hair dyes by the cosmetics industry (22), and in acne treatment preparations (23). 

Plastics and Synthetic Products. To prevent degradation of plastics at elevated processing temperatures, it is necessary to use suitable heat stabilizers. Eor example, flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) manifests uncontroUed color development in the absence of stabilizers. Accordingly, cadmium salts of organic acids are typically used in a synergistic combination with corresponding barium salts, in about a 1 3 cadmium barium ratio, to provide a cost-competitive heat stabilizer for flexible PVC. 

Besides the use of photochromic systems in light filters, their color development has also received considerable attention. For example, the introduction of photochromic components into product labels, tickets, credit cards, etc adds a mechanism for verification of authenticity (41,42). The active components are invisible until activated with an ultraviolet light source, after which they are easily detected. 

The color development of photochromic compounds can also be utili2ed as a diagnostic tool. The temperature dependence of the fa ding of 6-nitroindolinospiropyran served as the basis for a nondestmctive inspection technique for honeycomb aerospace stmctures (43). One surface of the stmcture to be exarnined was covered with a paint containing the photochromic compound and activated to a violet color with ultraviolet light. The other side of the stmcture was then heated. The transfer of heat through the honeycomb stmcture caused bleaching of the temperature-dependent photochromic compound. Defects in the honeycomb where heat transfer was inhibited could be detected as darker areas. 

Fig. 9. Corrosion model of silver development. As the haUde ion, X, is removed into solution at the etch pit, the silver ion,, travels interstitiaHy, Ag/ to the site of the latent image where it is converted to silver metal by reaction with the color developer, Dev. Dev represents oxidized developer.

L/(mol-s) (39,40). QDI is also attacked by hydroxide ion (eq. 4) to produce a quinone monoimine (QMI), itself an oxidized developer derived from /)-aminopheno1. Such compounds can further react with coupler, albeit at a slower rate than QDI, to form a dye and were cited in the seminal patent as color developers (32). However, the dyes derived from this deaminated developer have different hues from the QDI dyes, and these hues are pH-dependent as a consequence of the phenoHc group contributed by the developer. Although the deamination reaction to produce QMI is fast, the rate constant is 10 to 10 L/(mol-s) (40—42), its effect is somewhat offset by the redox reaction of the QMI with the reduced developer, present in large excess, to regenerate the desired QDI. The primary net effect of the deamination reaction is to enlarge the resulting dye cloud (43).
