๐ฌ High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful technique used to separate and quantify synthetic dyes in food samples.
๐งช Brief Procedure:
๐ง Sample Prep: Food sample is homogenized and extracted using water or a suitable solvent.
๐ง Filtration: The extract is filtered to remove particulates.
๐ Injection: A small volume is injected into the HPLC system.
⚗️ Separation: The dyes are separated on a C18 column using a gradient mobile phase.
๐ Detection: Dyes are detected using UV-Vis at specific wavelengths.
✅ Used in quality control to ensure dye levels comply with food safety standards.
