A new analytical method has proposed for determination of
five synthetic colorants used in the wine industry (i.e., Tartrazine,
Brilliant Black, Sunset yellow, Brilliant Blue and Erythrosine) by
reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatograph
y equipped
with Diode Array detector.
Experimental conditions, including spectral properties, limits
of detection and recoveries for these synthetic colorants in detail
were studied and assigned according to the statistical methods
adopted.
