'''Patent Blue V''', also called '''Food Blue 5''', '''Sulphan Blue''', Acid Blue 3, L-Blau 3, C-Blau 20, Patentblau V, Sky Blue, or C.I. 42051 and is a dark bluish synthetic [[triphenylmethane dye]] used as a [[food coloring]]. As a [[food additive]], it has [[E number]] '''E131'''. It is a sodium or calcium salt of [4-(α-(4-diethylaminophenyl)-5-hydroxy- 2,4-disulfophenylmethylidene)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene] diethylammonium hydroxide [[inner salt]].{{clarify|date=July 2014}}
It is not widely used, but in Europe it can be found in [[Scotch egg]]s, certain [[Gummies|jelly sweets]], [[Curaçao (liqueur)|blue Curaçao]], certain [[jello]] varieties (though not in actual Jell-O brand products), among others. An important advantage is the very deep color it produces even at low concentration, a disadvantage is that it fades fairly quickly when exposed to light.
