Twenty-one water-soluble acid dyes, including eleven azo, five triphenylmethane, four xanthene, and one naphthol derivatives, used at practical concentrations for food coloration, were quantitatively extracted from water and various carbonated beverages into a 0.1 M quinine-chloroform solutlon in the presence of 0.5 M boric acid by brief shaking. Ouantitative extraction of these dyes was also accomplished by the 0.1 M quinine-chloroform solution made conveniently from chloroform, quinine hydrochloride, and sodium hydroxide added successively to water or beverages containing boric acid. Oulnine acted as a countercation on the dyes havlng sulfonic and/or carboxylic acld group(s) to form chloroformsoluble ion-pair complexes. The diacidic base alkaloid interacted with each acid group of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasulfonic acid dyes approximately In the ratio 0.8-0.9 to 1. The dyes in the chloroform solution were quantitatively concentrated into a small volume of a sodlum hydroxide solution also by brief shaklng. The convenlent quinine-chloroform method was applicable to the quantitative extraction of a mixture of 12 dyes from carbonated beverages, which are all currently used for food coloration. A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method is also presented for the systematic separation and determinatlon of these 12 dyes following their concentration into the aqueous alkaline solution. The chromatogram was monitored by double-wavelength absorptiometry in the visible and ultraviolet ray regions.

Increasing attention has recently been given to the quantitative monitoring of various synthetic water-soluble acid dyes added to food for their suspected toxicity. However, few rapid and quantitative methods are available for allowing the dyes used a t very diluted concentrations to be simultaneously and highly specifically extracted from food and concentrated for their subsequently direct analysis by HPLC. At the present time, not only in the United States but also in other developed countries, a few more or less than 10 synthetic acid dyes remain permitted in law to use as food-coloring agents after many others have been banned in the last 2 decades for their toxicities (1-3), including carcinogenicity (3). Tetra-n-alkylammonium halides, especially tetra-n-alkylammonium (TBA) bromide (4), have been used for the rapid extraction of the strong dye anions as hydrophobic ion-pair complexes from food with organic solvents since cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was first introduced by Sohgr ( 5 ) for the extraction of six food-coloring agents. However, the tetraalkylammonium cations interact so tightly with various kinds of naturally occurring and artificially added organic anions in food, as well as with dye anions, that miscellaneous acidic materials are extracted into the organic phase from aqueous media, interfering with the subsequent determination Present address: Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences,University of Setsunan. 45-1 Nagaotoge-cho.

of the dyes by HPLC. Moreover, the most widely used, strongly anionic dyes with sulfonic acid groups are very hard to dissociate from the hydrophobic TBA complexes, so a high concentration of perchloric acid may be needed for recovery of the dyes from the ion-pair complexes in the organic phase into the aqueous phase a t higher concentrations (4). The treatment of the TBA-dye complexes with perchloric acid not only results in the low recovery of some of the extracted sulfonic acid dyes to be concentrated in the acidic aqueous phase (4) but also leads to the facile decomposition (fading) of important acid dyes with xanthene structures. Therefore, it is practically difficult to apply the TBA method to the rapid determination by HPLC of a wide variety of water-soluble acid dyes used as dye mixtures a t very low concentrations for food. The weaker base, tri-n-octylamine (TOA), is a recently proposed cationic candidate used at weakly acidic pH for the more specific extraction and concentration of the synthetic water-soluble acid dyes from food (6-9). Actually, the use of TOA may remarkably reduce various organic acids extracted into the organic phase from food. However, the TOA method also needs perchloric acid for the complete dissociation of the extracted acid dyes from the TOA complexes in the organic phase, so it can not be applied to the acid-unstable xanthene dyes (7-9). Aqueous alkaline solutions, including caustic alkali, have been demonstrated not to be effective in dissociating the acid dyes from the TBA- and TOA-dye complexes (6, 7). As has been briefly reported (IO),quinine is one of the most suitable countercation donors among a variety of basic tertiary amines examined for the quantitative extraction of watersoluble, synthetic acid dyes from aqueous solutions. In addition, the hydrophobic quinine-dye complexes formed can be readily dissociated by brief shaking of the organic phase with a very small volume of a low concentration of a caustic alkaline solution, and the water-soluble dyes are quantitatively concentrated into the aqueous alkaline phase. The present paper deals with the method for the rapid and quantitative extraction of very low concentrations of various types of 21 synthetic, water-soluble dyes from aqueous solutions into a quinine-chloroform solution, followed by their quantitative recovery into an aqueous alkaline solution and also with the tentative application of the method to the recovery of a mixture of currently used water-soluble dyes added to various carbonated, nonalcoholic beverages.

Each dye was examined for purity by HPLC and, if necessary, recrystallized from aqueous methanol. Quinine and its monohydrochloride salt, boric acid, and TBA bromide were also obtained from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. Quinine N,-oxide ( I I ) , 4-nitronaphthalene-1-sulfonicacid (12),and y-(1-pyreny1)butyricacid (13)were synthesized by the previous methods. Other reagents used were all reagent grade. Noncolored, carbonated soft drinks used for the recovery of food-coloringagents were purchased from Japanese food stores: three US.brands (in abbreviations, names of companies in parentheses) most widely sold in Japan, MRD (P),SPR (C), and SVU (P), and three Japanese brands, KRL (K), STA (S), and MTC (A). Extraction of Water-Soluble Acid Dyes. For the determination of recoveries of the water-soluble dyes as hydrophobic ion-pair complexes with quinine, aqueous solutions containing various concentrations of each dye and boric acid were mechanically shaken for 10 min with an equal volume of chloroform containing various concentrationsof the free alkaloid. The organic phase separated by centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 10 rnin was then mechanically shaken for 10 min with 0.2-1 vol of 0.1 N NaOH to extract the dye as a sodium salt by dissociating the dye-quinine complex. The aqueous alkaline phase separated by centrifugation under the aforementioned condition was subjected to absorptiometry at the wavelength corresponding to the absorption maximum of each dye in the visible ray region. Recoveries of the dyes from beverages with 0.1-0.5 M free quinine-chloroform solutions were examined in the same manner as described above. Carbonated beverages were heated for 5 min on a boiling water bath to remove carbonic acid before dissolution of the dyes and boric acid (0.5 M as a final concentration). As a matter of practical convenience, the quinine-chloroform method could be modified by using aqueous solutions of quinine hydrochloride and less equivalent sodium hydroxide and chloroform instead of the free quinine-chloroform solution when applied to practical analysis of the dyes in beverages. Percent recoveries of a mixture of 12 dyes from beverages were obtained as follows: to a sample solution (20 mL) were added boric acid (0.8 g), 0.12 M quinine monohydrochloride (5 mL), chloroform (5 mL), and 0.5 M NaOH (1mL) to liberate the free alkaloid. The mixture was mechanically shaken for 10 min. The aqueous layer separated by centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 10 rnin was removed by aspiration. The remaining organic phase was pipetted (4 mL) and shaken with an appropriate volume of 0.5 N NaOH (0.2-0.5 mL) for 10 min. The aqueous alkaline phase separated by centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 10 min was neutralized with an equal volume of 0.5 N H,SO, containing an appropriate internal reference for subsequent HPLC analysis. A higher concentration (0.5 N) of sodium hydroxide was favorable to facilitate the dissociation of the dye-quinine complexes in chloroform when the aqueous alkaline phase used for concentration of the dyes was less than 0.2 vol to the organic phase. High-pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). An Atto Model Constametric I1 high-pressure liquid chromatograph equipped with a Nucleosil 7CI8ODS column (7.5 Wm in particle size, 3.9 mm X 30 cm) and two linearly arranged detectors, one of which was a Shimadzu Model SPD-1 spectrophotometer for recording the absorbancies of the dye peaks at a wavelength of the visible ray region or their spectra in both ultraviolet and visible ray regions and the other a JASCO Model UVIDEC-100 detector for recording their absorbanciesat a wavelength of the ultraviolet ray region, were used. TBA bromide was dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing an equal molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to generate TBA hydroxide, and diluted with the buffer and methanol for preparing developing solvents.

acidic pH. The dyes (0.005-0.1 mM) with mono- (Orange I), di- (Sunset Yellow FCF),tri- (Amaranth), and tetra- (Ponceau 6R) sulfonic acid groups were all extracted with a chloroform solution of 5 mM free quinine in higher ratios from water containing a higher concentration of boric acid than from any of various tested buffer solutions, p H 4.0-7.0. The optimum concentration of boric acid was higher than 0.4 M for the extraction of these dyes (0.1 mM) from water with the 5 mM quinine-chloroform solution (Figure 1). When the concentration of quinine in chloroform was increased up to 0.1 M, they were all quantitatively extracted into chloroform even when the concentration of boric acid was decreased to 0.1 M. Chloroform was the most suitable among the tested solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, methylene dichloride, benzene, toluene, isopropyl ether, ethyl acetate, and isobutyl alcohol, for the quantitative recovery of all 22 dyes, including the aforementioned 4 sulfonic acid dyes, from water containing boric acid. Methylene dichloride was next to chloroform, but the others were unsuitable for this purpose. Quinine, a diacidic base with very different pK, values, 5.07 and 9.7 for the quinoline and quinuclidine moieties, respectively, is likely to interact with the acid dyes in the molar ratios 0.8:l per each acid group for the mono-, di-, and trisulfonic acid dyes and 0.9:l for the tetrasulfonic acid one. The dyes (0.1 m M each) were extracted into chloroform proportional to the amounts of quinine used at lower concentrations (0.5-3.2 mM) in the presence of 0.5 M boric acid. A linear relationship was observed with each dye between logarithmic values of the dye concentrations in the organic to aqueous phases and those of the quinine concentrations (Figure 2), where [DQ],,, and [&Iorp represent the concentrations of the dye-quinine complex and free quinine remaining unbound in the organic phase, respectively, and [DIwater the concentrations of the dyes remaining unextracted in the aqueous phase. The slopes (X) of the lines for dye recovery were 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, and 3.6 for the mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrabasic acid dyes. This strongly suggests that the mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasulfonic acid dyes would form hydrophobic ion pairs with the diacidic counter base in the molar ratios k0.8, 1:1.6, 1:2.4, and 1:3.6, respectively. Quinine Nl-oxide (2-10 mM), a weak monoacidic base with polarity higher than quinine, was examined for the extraction of the monosulfonic acid dye Orange I (0.1 mM) into chloroform in the presence of 0.5 M boric acid, in order to confirm whether the quinoline moiety of the quinine molecule played a partial role as a counterion donor in the ion-pair complex formation with the acid dye. With respect to the polarity of the N-oxide, it showed a relative retention time of 0.37 to that of quinine (16.5 min) by reverse partition HPLC carried out on the Nucleosil 7C18ODS column in methanol-water (17:3, v/v; 1mL/min). Orange I was extracted into chloroform with linearity (slope, X = 1.0 in the log ([DQ],,,/[DI,,,,r):log [$Iorg graph) a t various concentrations of the N-oxide (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Relationship between concentrations of quinine N,-oxide and extraction of Orange I from an aqueous phase into chloroform. The concentrations of the dye and boric acid used were 0.1 mM and 0.5 M, respectively.

This strongly suggests that the dye interacted with the N-oxide base in an equimolar ratio. However, as expected from its higher polarity and weaker basicity, quinine N,-oxide could extract a much smaller amount of the acid dye than its mother base. Quinine, used at 0.1 M, was sufficient to extract various water-soluble acid dyes quantitatively into the organic phase from their diluted aqueous solutions, which corresponded to the practical concentrations (0.005-0.1 mM) for commercial beverages. In Table I are listed typical data for the percent recoveries of 22 water-soluble synthetic acid dyes (0.005,0.01, and 0.1 mM each), including 11 azo, 5 triphenylmethane, 4 xanthene, and 2 other derivatives, which were dissolved in water containing 0.5 M boric acid. The percent recoveries of all the dyes used, except Indigo Carmine, were quantitative a t each concentration as far as carried out by using a 0.1 M quinine-chloroform solution. When the concentration of quinine was increased to 0.5 M, the recovery of Indigo Carmine from the aqueous phase increased up to 97% without any influence on the quantitative recoveries of the other 21 dyes.

The percent recoveries of the dye (0.005-0.1 mM) from the six beverages did not show any appreciable difference from those from water shown in Table I. There was also no appreciable difference in recovery of the aforementioned concentrations of each dye from the carbonated beverages when the 0.1 M free quinine-chloroform solution was replaced by that prepared from chloroform, quinine hydrochloride, and less equivalent sodium hydroxide added successively to the samples. Of the tested 22 dyes were chosen 12, all currently used for food coloration, consisting of 6 azo, 2 triphenylmethane, and 4 xanthene derivatives, and they were added as a mixture to the carbonated beverages in order to confirm whether the dye mixture used at practical concentrations ( 5 and 50 fig each/mL) could be simultaneously extracted with the 0.1 M quinine-chloroform solution and concentrated in as small a volume of the caustic alkaline solution as possible.

T h e dyes existing as complexes with quinine in the organic phase were then quantitatively reextracted into 1/20 to 1/4 vol of 0.5 N NaOH. It was favorable t o use a higher concentration (0.5 N) of sodium hydroxide for facilitating the dissociation of the dye-quinine complexes on decreasing the voluminal ratio of the aqueous to organic phases to less than 0.2. The aqueous alkaline solution containing sodium salts of the dyes was neutralized and analyzed by HPLC on t h e ODS column in methanol-phosphate buffer, p H 7.4, containing TBA as a countercation. The three groups of the dyes showed a marked difference in retention time group by group (Table 11). The azo dyes were the most polar with the shortest retention times and the xanthenes the most nonpolar under the HPLC conditions. A combination of UV absorptiometry and colorimetry was suitable for the specific detection and determination of all the dyes in each group in the chromatograms. Absorbancy at 255 and 510 nm, 310 and 625 nm, and 260 and 545 n m were suitable for azo, triphenylmethane, and xanthene dyes, respectively. Typical data for the recovery of the 12 dyes from the commercial beverage SPR (C) are shown in Table 111. All the dyes added were recovered almost quantitatively (higher than 92%). Very similar results were also obtained with the other five commercial carbonated drinks examined. The present investigation provides a rapid method for the quantitative extraction of very low Concentrations of synthetic water-soluble acid dyes from commercial carbonated drinks as well as from aqueous solutions. Simultaneous analysis of dye mixtures has been achieved,with high accuracy by combining the quinine-chloroform extraction method and HPLC. It should be emphasized that the dyes in beverages even at a concentration of 0.4 wg/mL can be determined by reducing the volume of the caustic alkaline solution used for extracting them as sodium salts from the quinine-chloroform solution. Sodium hydroxide, however, could not be used for the dissociation of the alkali-unstable acid dye Indigo Carmine from the quinine complex because of its facile decomposition under

DThedyes extracted in the presence of 0.5 M boric acid with chloroform containing 0.1 M quinine liberated from its hydrochloride with NaOH were concentrated into 0.5 N NaOH and determined by HPLC as described in Table I1 following immediate neutralization with 0.5 N H2S04.

Instead, a carbonate buffer, p H 10.0, was effective in extracting the dye without decomposition from the chloroform solution into the aqueous phase. Application of the quinine-chloroform method to the extraction of synthetic water-soluble acid dyes added to food other than beverages is now in progress in our laboratory. The present method, combined with a simple pretreatment, was found to be useful for the rapid, highly specific, and quantitative extraction and concentration of a wide variety of the synthetic water-soluble acid dyes from solid foods.
