Preconcentration of Sunset Yellow Dye using B-Cyclodextrin Epichlorohydrin Polymer as the Solid Phase Extractant

Abstract

A solid phase extraction method has been developed for the preconcentration of Sunset yellow dye at the trace level using β-Cyclodextrin polymer. After preconcentration the dye solute was determined UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Various parameters, such as effect of pH, sample volume, shaking time, amount of adsorbent, agitation speed for the % uptake of Sunset yellow has been optimized. This method has been applied for the determination of Sunset yellow in different food samples.
