ood dyes are widely used in the food industry to give products attractive
appearance. Currently there are over 50 such food colourings of natural and
synthetic origin. In the Republic of Belarus (RB) and in the countries of the
Eurasian Customs Union (CU) 13 synthetic dyes are allowed to be used in the
foodstuffs production. In accordance with the existing sanitary and hygienic
requirements the content of each of these 13 substances is controlled and
should not exceed 50 - 500 mg / kg depending on the nature of the dye and the
foodstuff’s type. At the same time it is completely forbidden to use synthetic
dyes for baby food production. It should be noted that until now there are no
uniform approaches for assessing the safety of synthetically produced dyes.
As the result in some countries certain synthetic dyes are included in the list of
banned substances as dangerous food additives, while in the others the same
dyes are still used in food industry. Studies on the discovery of synthetic dyes
impact on the human organism are continuing till now and scientists establish
more and more new facts concerning the negative impact of some dyes on
human health. In this regard, controlling the content of synthetic dyes in food
products is an important and urgent task. Today in the Republic of Belarus
and in the countries of the Customs Union there is no reliable analytical
method which would allow determining all the regulated synthetic dyes in
all kinds of food products rapidly and with appropriate repeatability and high
accuracy. Thus the aim of this study was to develop a unified method for the
simultaneous determination of 17 synthetic dyes in all kinds of food products
by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Biography
Palianskikh Alena has completed her PhD at the age of 35 from
Belarusian State University. She is a senior researcher of the
Laboratory of Food Chemistry in Republican Unitary Enterprise
