  • A Simple Fluorimetric Method to Determine Sudan I Dye in Spices
    Karadeniz Chem. Sci. Tech., 2017, 01, EA.1 - EA.4 Extended Abstract (Fulltext available in Turkisha) A Simple fluorimetric method to determine Sudan I dye in spices Osman Can Çağılcı, Abidin Gümrükçüoğlu, Hakan Alp, Elvan Vanlı, Ümmühan Ocak*, Miraç Ocak Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080 Trabzon, Turkey ABSTRACT Keywords: A simple method was developed to determine Sudan I, a banned food dye, in various spices by using its intrinsic fluorescence Sudan I dye, property. The proposed method was used in the determination of red pepper, sumac and cumin samples to which were added fluorescence method, Sudan I dye after being obtained from the local sources. The accuracy of method has been verified by spike and recovery fluorimetry, experiments. The recovery values of Sudan I were found in the range of 96.6% - 97.6% for pepper, sumac and cumin. A kind of standard addition method was used to increase the effect of matrix match. Detection limits were 1.0, 0.2 and 0.3 mg/L for red pepper, red pepper, sumac and cumin, respectively. When compared with the methods in the literature, the proposed method is simple, sumac, cumin environmentally friendly and low cost to determine the quantity of Sudan I in spices such as pepper, sumac and cumin. 1. Introduction calcein complex used to determine Sudan I [28]. Chen et al. proposed a method based on the use of polyethylenimine-coated copper Sudan dyes are synthetic azo dyes, used in textile and cosmetic nanoparticles [29], while Ling et al. reported the use of products.

Ecology is presented as a way of thinking about and interpreting one's own environment, which can only be learned by practising, by applying these ideas to one's specific situation. Some people are 'ecologists with their heads', considering ecology to be a purely academic, scientific subject; some are 'ecologists with their hearts', being concerned about the future conditions for life on our planet Earth; others are 'ecologists with their hands', having learned some basic principles of ecology by trial and error in traditional agriculture, fisheries etcetera. Education of 'ecologists in their mind', combining the positive sides of the three approaches mentioned, can be seen as essential for the future of a country such as the Democratic Republic 'of the Sudan, with its large environmental potential for positive development, along with great risks of mis-managing the natural resources.
