Brilliant Blue FCF

General description
Brilliant Blue FCF is a triarylmethane dye that is either used as a food or textile colorant to give blue color. An acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 12.0 mg/(kg body weight) was set for Brilliant Blue FCF in humans by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Application
The analytical standards can also be used as follows:
Spectrophotometric quantitative estimation of Brilliant Blue, Sunset Yellow, Ponceau 4R, and Tartrazin from juice samples, using a transparent polymer matrix for extraction
Liquid-liquid microextraction of five synthetic food dyes from different food samples for their determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with a variable wavelength ultraviolet detector (HPLC-VWUVD)
Simultaneous analysis of five water-soluble synthetic colorants in different food samples by on-plate solid-phase extraction and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with backlight-assisted detection
Multi-residue determination of 11 synthetic color food additives in high protein and fat content food products by HPLC combined with a diode array detector (DAD) or a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS)
Extraction of eight synthetic food dyes from 30 food samples of six types using an NH2-aminopropyl-modified silica SPE cartridge for their quantification by RP-HPLC coupled with UV detector
