Application

Methyl Red has been used as pH indicator in a glucose biosensor, which is used for salivary analysis.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl Red is a maroon red crystal azo dye.[2] Methyl Red is a pH indicator and changes color at a pH of 5.5.[3] Methyl Red is widely used in saliva sampling method. In addition, it is also employed in carbohydrate and lactic acid detection.[2] Methyl Red has been effectively used for intrageneric differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae.[4]
