Simultaneous determination of the colorants tartrazine, ponceau 4R and sunset yellow FCF in foodstuffs by solid phase spectrophotometry using partial least squares multivariate calibration

A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of the colorants tartrazine (TT), sunset yellow FCF (SY) and ponceau 4R (PR) in foods. The colorants were fixed in Sephadex DEAE A-25 gel at pH 2.0 and then packed in a 1-mm silica cell. The spectra of the analytes fixed in the solid support were recorded between 400 and 800 nm against a blank and the partial least squares (PLS) multivariate calibration was used to obtain the results. The linear dynamic ranges of the calibration graphs were from 50.0 to 650.0 ng ml(-1) for the three colorants and these ranges were taking in account the optimisation of the calibration matrix using the PLS-1 algorithm. The experimental results showed that the optimum number of factors for the calibration matrix was four in all instances and the residual means standard deviation was 5.5267 for SY, 6.3878 for TT and 6.9816 for PR. The square of the correlation coefficients were 0.9977, 0.9978 and 0.9954 for SY, TT and PR respectively. The method was applied to the determination of the colorants in foods and results were compared with those obtained by means of HPLC as reference method. The results obtained can be considered as acceptable in most cases (eight of nine commercial samples). The relative standard deviations ranging between 0.5 and 10.8 for the commercial samples analysed.     

Fabrication of β-cyclodextrin-coated poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized graphene composite film modified glassy carbon-rotating disk electrode and its application for simultaneous electrochemical determination colorants of sunset yellow and tartrazine

We proposed a green and facile approach for the synthesis of β-cyclodextrin-coated poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized graphene composite film (β-CD-PDDA-Gr) by using l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) as the reducing agent at room temperature. The β-CD-PDDA-Gr composite film modified glassy carbon-rotating disk electrode (GC-RDE) was then developed for the sensitive simultaneous determination of two synthetic food colorants: sunset yellow (SY) and tartrazine (TT). By cyclic voltammetry (CV), the peak currents of SY and TT increased obviously on the developed electrochemical sensor. The kinetic parameters, such as diffusion coefficient D and standard heterogeneous rate constant k_b, were estimated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Under the optimal conditions, the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals of SY and TT on the β-CD-PDDA-Gr modified GC-RDE were significantly enhanced. The enhanced anodic peak currents represented the excellent analytical performance of simultaneous detection of SY and TT in the range of 5.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.25 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ for SY and 1.43 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ for TT (S N⁻¹ = 3). This proposed method displayed outstanding selectivity, good stability and acceptable repeatability and reproducibility, and also has been used to simultaneously determine SY and TT in some commercial soft drinks with satisfactory results. The obtained results were compared to HPLC of analysis for those two colorants and no significant differences were found. By the treatment of the experimental data, the electrochemical reaction mechanisms of SY and TT both involved a one-electron-one-proton-transfer process.

Simultaneous determination of antazoline and naphazoline by the net analyte signal standard addition method and spectrophotometric technique

A novel net analyte signal standard addition method (NASSAM) was used for simultaneous determination of the drugs anthazoline and naphazoline. The NASSAM can be applied for determination of analytes in the presence of known interferents. The proposed method is used to eliminate the calibration and prediction steps of multivariate calibration methods; the determination is carried out in a single step for each analyte. The accuracy of the predictions against the H-point standard addition method is independent of the shape of the analyte and interferent spectra. The net analyte signal concept was also used to calculate multivariate analytical figures of merit, such as LOD, selectivity, and sensitivity. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of anthazoline and naphazoline in a commercial eye drop sample.

In square wave voltammetry measurements, the oxidation peak potentials of sunset yellow and tartrazine were separated by about 250 mV. This novel proposed voltammetric method has good selectivity which was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of sunset yellow and tartrazine in some food sample extracts.     

Influence of the Selected Wavelength Range on the Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Mixture Components by Use of Partial Least-Squares Regression

ABSTRACT

This paper shows the benefits of optimizing the wavelength range and number of factors used in the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of several analytes in the same sample by use of partial least-squares regression. The optimization criterion used for this purpose is based on the relative standard error of prediction (RSEP), which represents the overall error for a series of mixtures containing different amounts of the analytes; the optimum wavelength range and number of factors are chosen to be those leading to the lowest RSEP value. The ensuing method was applied to the simultaneous determination of the diuretics spironolactone and althiazide at concentrations between 2 and 20 μg · mL^?1 in synthetic samples, where the drugs were quantified with errors less than 5% (spironolactone) and 2.5% (althiazide), and relative standard deviations below 3.5 and 0.8%, respectively. Both drugs were also determined in a pharmaceutical preparation, with recoveries of 100.76% (spironolactone) and 95.86% (althiazide) relative to their nominal contents, and relative standard deviations of 1.1 and 3.5%, respectively. The proposed method for the analysis of the pharmaceutical preparation was validated by HPLC.

Coupling of air-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction method with partial least squares for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of some preservatives

An air-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction method coupled with a multivariate calibration method, namely partial least squares (PLS), was developed for the extraction and simultaneous determination of benzoic acid (BA) and sorbic acid (SA) via a spectrophotometric approach. In this work, a two-step microextraction method was used. In the first step, analytes were extracted from acidic aqueous solution into octanol, as an organic solvent, and in the second step, the analytes were simultaneously back-extracted into an alkaline aqueous solution. The high absorption signal of octanol was the main reason to perform this back-extraction step. The effects of different parameters on the method efficiency were investigated; the parameters included extraction solvent volume, ionic strength of aqueous solution, pH, number of extraction cycles, and aqueous sample volume. Under optimum conditions, calibration graphs were seen to be linear over the range of 0.1–2.0 µg mL^?1 for the both analytes. Other analytical parameters were obtained as follows: Enrichment factors (EFs) were found to be 14.98 and 13.03, and limits of detection were determined to be 0.03 and 0.04 µg mL^?1 for BA and SA, respectively. As the last step, binary mixtures of the analytes were prepared and simultaneously extracted using the proposed method. Finally, PLS modeling was used for multivariate calibration of spectrophotometric data. It was successfully utilized for the analysis of the target analytes in real samples.

Abilities of Partial Least‐Squares (PLS‐2) Multivariate Calibration in the Analysis of Quaternary Mixture of Food Colors (E‐110, E‐122, E‐124, E‐131)

Abstract

Sunset Yellow (SY), Carmoisine (C), Ponceau 4R (P), and Patent Blue V (PB) are synthetic organic dyes which are under governmental regulations all over the world because of their toxicity and carcinogenicity.

In this study, a simple and fast analytical procedure was proposed for the simultaneous determination of food dyes (SY, C, P, and PB) in powder drinks by means the partial least‐square treatment of spectrophotometric absorbance between 450 –730 nm, taken at 10 nm intervals. The experimental calibration matrix was constructed with 27 samples. The concentration ranges considered were 2, 3, 4 µg · ml^?1 for SY, 7, 8, 9 µg · ml^?1 for C, 9, 10, 11 µg · ml^?1 for P, and 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 µg · ml^?1 for PB. The method was applied to the determination of dyes in different commercially available powder drinks. The results obtained by the application of the PLS‐2 method were statistically compared with those obtained by an HPLC method using the F and t tests. Very similar values were found by two methods. No time consuming pretreatment was needed and this method also provides rapid, accurate and economical analysis of these colors.
