Abstract
A spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of Tartrazine (TT) and Sunset Yellow (SY) in cosmetic products has been developed. An extraction process was carried out using methylene chloride and the colouring matters were measured in the aqueous phase formed, the other components of the sample remaining in the organic phase. The applicable concentration ranges were 0.5–10 ug/ml TT and 0.5–12 μg/ml SY. The detection limits were 26 and 11 ng/ml and the relative standard deviations were 1.0 and 0.9% for TT and SY, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of both compounds in cosmetics.
