Analytical Standards for Food Color Additives Analytical Standards for Food Color Additives Neat Standards for Artificial and Natural Food Colors Deuterated Internal Standards Food dyes are popular in the food industry and are used to make products appear fresher and healthier. They are also used to give colorless foodstuff a more characteristic appearance as well as to change the original colors to preferred artificial ones. However, certain food coloring additives have been banned in many countries since they have been found to have a detrimental effect on consumers’ health. For precise detection of all regulated food color additives, Sigma-Aldrich offers a comprehensive range of standards, including neats and deuterated analytical standards. Find our products at sigma-aldrich.com/fooddyes Neat Standards for E Numbers In the European Union, E numbers are used as codes for food color additives. E numbers 100-199 include not only artificial food colors derived from petroleum, but also natural additives originating from sources such as vegetables, insects, or mixtures made from natural foodstuffs. However, although some E number food dyes are not allowed in the EU and US, some are still used illicitly in food products. For a precise quality control of food products, Sigma-Aldrich provides a broad range of neat standards.

Lisa Thomas, our project coordinator, worked with students from each classroom, reviewing the year in terms of what the students had been learning and working on, and then asking them to choose one idea they saw as significant to write as a class article. I thought that the students would focus on issues of power and control. I knew that they had strong feelings about the decisions in their lives controlled by friends, parents, and teachers and the decisions where they had control. Instead, the students focused on the project to raise money for an animal and they wrote an article describing the project. The article ended with this statement, “We hope that what we donate will keep creating food for hungry people for a very long time.” References Kempf, S. (2005). Finding solutions to hunger.

Received 22 September, 2020; Accepted 27 October, 2020 Food additives Azo dyes are synthetic compounds added to foods to impart color and improve their properties. Some azo dyes have been banned as food additives due to toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic side effects. Long exposure to foods containing azo dye leads to chronic toxicity. Some microorganisms are capable to degrade these dyes and convert them to aromatic amines. In human body, microbiota can play a vital role in biodegradation of azo dyes by producing azo reductase. Aromatic amines are toxic, water-soluble and well absorbed via human intestine. In the current study, the role of microorganisms in biodegradation of six dyes related to azo group was discussed. These dyes are: Tartrazine E102, Sunset Yellow E110, Ponceau E124, Azorubine E122, Amaranth E123, and Allura Red E129 which are classified as the most harmful food additive dyes. Key word: Food additive, azo dyes, microorganisms, azo reductase, aromatic amines.

  • Analysis of Synthetic Dyes in Food Samples by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
    Analysis of synthetic dyes in food samples by capillary zone electrophoresis Application Note Foods and Flavors Authors Rainer Schuster, Angelika Gratzfeld-Hüsgen Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany Abstract Synthetic food dyes were separated by capillary zone electrophoresis using an alkaline phosphate buffer as background electrolyte. The precision had a relative standard deviation of less than 0.5 % for the run-to-run migration times and 2 % for the peak areas with buffer replenishment after each run. The detection limit for the individual dyes was about 1 ng using a 50-µm internal diameter Agilent extended path length capillary. Compounds were detected at different wavelengths— 215, 410, 520 and 598 nm—and the identities of the individual dyes were confirmed using peak-purity routines and a UV-visible spectral library.

  • Analysis of Artificial Colorants in Various Food Samples Using Monolithic Silica Columns and LC-MS by Stephan Altmaier, Merck Millipore, Frankfurter Str
    31 Analysis of Artificial Colorants in Various Food Samples using Monolithic Silica Columns and LC-MS by Stephan Altmaier, Merck Millipore, Frankfurter Str. 250, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany This work describes a simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography method with UV or mass spectrometry detection for the analysis of artificial colorants from dye classes such as azo or chinophthalone in various food samples. After a short sample preparation procedure all samples were separated on C18 reversed phase monolithic silica columns via a gradient elution profile and directly transferred to UV or MS for the analysis of the main components. This setup enabled the identification of dyes in real life samples such as beverages or sweets within very short analysis times and with a minimised sample preparation step. In the nineteenth century chemicals such as azo compounds (see Tables 1 and 2 and by an organism very easily. mercury sulphide, lead oxide, copper salts or Figure 1).
