About this document

Food Colorant Analysis via Spectroscopy by Juan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document proposes a procedure to use absorption spectroscopy to determine the colorants in a name brand beverage and create a generic beverage with the same color. It will create solutions of different concentrations of common food dyes (FD&C Blue #1, Red #40, Yellow #5) and the name brand beverage. Absorption spectra will be recorded and beer-lambert plots will be used to determine the concentrations of dyes in the name brand beverage solution based on the linear relationship between absorbance and co
