Phân Tích Phẩm Màu Thực Phẩm Bằng Quang Phổ

Nhận biết màu thực phẩm nhân tạo qua phổ hấp thụ

Colorimetry Intermediate (High School) 60 phút ~$8,00

Mục tiêu

Xác định danh tính và nồng độ phẩm màu thực phẩm nhân tạo trong đồ uống thương mại bằng cách đo phổ hấp thụ.

Bối cảnh

Artificial food dyes have characteristic absorption spectra that serve as fingerprints for identification. FD&C Red No. 40 absorbs maximally at 504 nm, Blue No. 1 at 630 nm, and Yellow No. 5 at 428 nm. By scanning the absorption spectrum of a commercial beverage and comparing peak wavelengths with known dye spectra, students can identify which dyes are present and estimate their concentrations.

Cảnh báo an toàn

  • Food dyes can stain clothing
  • Do not drink any samples after use in the lab
  • Handle cuvettes by the frosted sides only

PPE cần thiết

Vật liệu

  • Standard food dye solutions (50 mL each)
    Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5 (0.01%)
  • Commercial beverages (50 mL each)
    2–3 colored drinks
  • Distilled water (200 mL)
    For dilutions and blank

Thiết bị

UV-Vis spectrophotometer (or colorimeter with multiple filters) Cuvettes (quartz or plastic) Pipettes Volumetric flasks (25 mL, 4 total)

Quy trình

1

If using a spectrophotometer, scan each standard dye solution from 400 to 700 nm to identify the λmax (wavelength of maximum absorbance).

10 phút
2

Record the λmax for each standard: Red 40 (≈504 nm), Blue 1 (≈630 nm), Yellow 5 (≈428 nm).

5 phút
3

Dilute commercial beverage samples if too concentrated (absorbance should be below 1.0). Record all dilution factors.

10 phút
4

Scan each beverage sample from 400 to 700 nm. Record the absorption spectrum.

15 phút
5

Compare the beverage absorption peaks with the standard dye λmax values to identify which dyes are present.

10 phút
6

If a calibration curve was prepared for a specific dye, calculate the dye concentration in each beverage (accounting for dilution).

10 phút

Kết quả dự kiến

Each beverage should show absorption peaks matching one or more standard food dyes. Green drinks typically contain both Blue 1 and Yellow 5. Orange drinks often contain Red 40 and Yellow 5.

Dọn dẹp

Pour dilute dye solutions down the drain with running water. Rinse cuvettes immediately to prevent staining.
