Description
One of the natural colorants extracted from Madder roots and other Rubiaceae family plants. Purpurin has been manufactured synthetically by the oxidation of alizarin since the 1920s. Purpurin forms a brilliant red color when mordanted with aluminum salts. It is not considered a permanent artists pigment (Mayer 1969). In red dyed fabric, the presence of purpurin along with alizarin has been used to distinguish natural madder dyes from the synthetic alizarin dyes first sold in 1871. Purpurin fluoresces a bright yellow-red while alizarin produces a pale violet color.
