Micelles mediated separation fluorimetric methodology for Rhodamine B determination in condiments, snacks and candies

Determination of Rhodamine B Pigment in Food Samples by Ionic Liquid Coated Magnetic Core/Shell Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles Coupled with Fluorescence Spectrophotometry

“…Rhodamine B (RhB), a red pigment, is widely used as colorant in textiles, dyeing, paper and printing [1]. RhB is harmful if swallowed by human and animals, and causes irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract " [2], [3], [4]", and has been considered and used as color additive in foodstuffs.…”

Preparation of -Cyclodextrin modified Polystyrene Nanofiber and Its Application in the Extraction of Rhodamine B

“…Although it is poisonous for human beings and animals, some illegal traders still use it as a food additive [2]. However, direct determination of RB is very difficult because of the low content in samples and the matrix effects [3,4]. Thus, it is necessary to develop a pretreatment method for the sample containing RB.…”

Preconcentration and analysis of Rhodamine B in water and red wine samples by using magnesium hydroxide/carbon nanotube composites as a solid-phase extractant

“…In vivo studies have revealed that Rhodamine B is potentially both carcinogenic and genotoxic [4]. However, Rhodamine B is sometimes illegally added to food products to make interesting colors, therefore, it has been identified as an illegal food dye [5][6][7]. Up to now, it is difficult to fulfill the accurate determination of Rhodamine B without any pretreatment for the real samples such as drinking water, red Correspondence: Xiao-Qing Chen, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China E-mail: xqchen@csu.edu.cn Fax: +86-731-88879616…”
