- Abstract
A simple and inexpensive liquid chromatography diode array detector (LC-DAD) procedure has been developed to analyse food dyes in beverages, candies, jams, salted fish, Chinese sausage, and cake. A reverse stationary phase provided sufficient selectivity and chromatographic performance for the separation of 11 water-soluble dyes (tartrazine, amaranth, indigo carmine, ponceau 4R, sunset yellow, allura red, carmoisine, fast green FCF (Food green 3), brilliant blue, quinoline yellow, and indocyanine green). The samples were extracted with 1% ammonium solutions and acetonitrile, purified, and concentrated using a C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge for beverages, and weak anion exchange SPE cartridge for solid samples. They were determined using a reverse-phase C18 column with gradient elution of 0.2% ammonium acetate buffer, and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Multiple-specific wavelengths were used to monitor the dyes in the visible range to provide higher sensitivity and an expanded scope for a large number of analytes. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the dyes were in the range of 0.2 - 0.5 and 0.5 - 1.0 µg/mL, respectively. The precision of the method ranged from 2.71 to 6.31%, while recovery ranged from 90.8 to 105.6%. The validated method was successfully applied to the quantitative analysis of 11 water-soluble dyes in 36 commercial products obtained from the local supermarket. Application to the analysis of beverages and food samples available to consumers proved that the described methods are suitable for the routine analysis of dyes in food products containing a broad range of dyes.
