Abstract: A method for the determination of eight colorants, new red, amaranth, allura red, ponceau, tartrazime, sunset yellow, indigotine and brilliant blue in fermented milk by high performance liquid chromatography was developed. The analytes were extracted from samples with weakly alkaline water at 7.7–7.9 and cleaned up on a polyamide solid phase extraction cartridge. The analysis was performed on a C18 column with gradient elution using 0.02 mol/L sodium acetate solution-methanol as mobile phase. The results showed that the recoveries of seven colorants other than indigotine at spiked concentration levels of 0.5–5.0 mg/1 000 g in fermented milk were higher than 90%, while the recovery of indigotine was around 80%. The limit of detection of the method was 0.5 mg/kg. The repeatability relative standard deviation was less than 5%, indicating good precision. With the advantages of accurate results, simplicity and good repeatability, this method is suitable for the analysis of colorants in fermented milk.
