Role of microorganisms in biodegradation of food additive Azo dyes: A review

Abstract: Food additives Azo dyes are synthetic compounds added to foods to impart color and improve their properties. Some azo dyes have been banned as food additives due to toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic side effects. Long exposure to foods containing azo dye leads to chronic toxicity. Some microorganisms are capable to degrade these dyes and convert them to aromatic amines. In human body, microbiota can play a vital role in biodegradation of azo dyes by producing azo reductase. Aromatic amines are toxic, water-so… Show more

“…Moreover, the aromatic structure of azo dyes presents challenges in terms of their degradation, leading to prolonged environmental pollution [20]. Exposure to azo dyes can result in various ailments such as edema, allergies, skin irritation, and respiratory issues [21]. To assess the efficacy of removing contaminants, the adsorption of Congo red (CR) dye was evaluated using synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.…”

“…In an attempt to clarify the differences among the electrochemical performance of the electrodes, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was employed as a technique for electrochemical characterization of each electrode surface. 32 Figure 5A shows the impedance spectra represented as Nyquist plots (Z im vs Z re ) for bare GCE and ZnO NPs/GC composite film modified GCE in 0.1 mM KCl solution containing 5.0 mM Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− . The semicircle appearing in Nyquist plot indicates the parallel combination of charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance resulting from electrode impedance.…”

“…Azo dyes have toxic effects and can cause oxidative stress response and alter gene expression of transport proteins. [2][3][4][5][6] It has been proven in many researches that consuming too much Allura Red cause adverse effects on human health such as allergies, food intolerance, cancer, multiple sclerosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, brain damage, nausea, cardiac disease and asthma due to the reaction of aromatic azo compounds. 3 Thus considering the importance of food health and quality control of food products, many analytical methods have been used for the determination of Allura Red, such as thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, HPLC, spectrophotometry, and capillary zone electrophoresis.…”

“…The formulas for CV and MB are C 25 H 30 ClN 3 and C 16 H 18 ClN 3 S, respectively. Dye removal methods can be separated into three main categories, biological, chemical, and physical [ 11 13 ]. Natural treatment using bacterial decolourisation has been reported as an economical alternative to chemical and physical treatment.…”
