Abstract

A method of quantitative determination of component dyes in food colorant preparations by paper chromatography (PC) and spectrophotometry is described. Pure preparations of (i) Ponceau 4R, (ii) Carmoisine, (iii) Fast Red E, (iv) Amatanth, (v) Tartrazine, (vi) Yellow FCF, (vii) Indigo carmine and (viii) Brilliant Black were used as standards; dye content was determined by the titanium trichloride reduction method, and the wavelength of max. absorption, and extinction coeff. of 1% solutions were measured. PC with 20:12:15 n-butanol:water:glacial acetic acid separated all dyes except (iv), (v) and (vii); (v) and (vii) could be separated with 1 ml of ammonia (sp. gr. 0.91)
