[Studies on rejected food yellow No. 5 (sunset yellow FCF)].
One of the sunset yellow FCFs (Y-5) in the official inspection of coal-tar dyes in 1998 was rejected. The results of tests of the rejected sample were submitted to JSFA-VI except for a sub-spot by paper chromatography. HPLC of the raw materials, intermediates, and subsidiary dyes according to JSFA-VII was performed on the rejected and submitted samples of Y-5. The sub-spot in the rejected sample was identified as sulfanilic acid-azo-R salt, and its content was estimated at more than 5%.
