An Analytical Study of Some Food Colorants in Drinks Made from Grapes


Abstract in English

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 chromatography 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.
