OBJECTIVE Certain dietary constituents can induce toxicity and play a critical role in the development of several hepatic disorders. Tartrazine, metanil yellow and sunset yellow are widely used azo dyes in food products, so the present study is aimed to investigate the food color induced hepatotoxicity in Swiss albino rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Swiss albino rats were divided into four groups...

Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) for the determination of five synthetic food dyes (Quinoline Yellow E104, Sunset Yellow E110, Ponceau 4R E124, Tartrazine E102 and Carmine E120) in vitamins was used. The dyes were analyzed within 10 min using a column with stationary phase C 18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 40 °C with isocratic elution, and the mobile phase contained...

An investigation on modification of natural zeolite with ZnO for the degradation tartrazine. In this study, as a semiconductor is modified into support to form ZnO/zeolite that can increase efficiency Further, formed catalyst was added tartrazine by determining variation in ozonolysis time, amount addition catalyst, and time. The results were determined UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 424 nm. resul...
