Article Synopsis
- Pigment Red 53 is a harmful synthetic dye often found in cosmetics, despite being banned due to health risks, creating a need for better detection methods for illegal products.
- This study developed an indicator color chart that displays color changes through chemical reactions, allowing for quick onsite analysis of Pigment Red 53 in various cosmetics at concentrations as low as 10 ppm.
- Results indicate that the color chart is an effective initial screening tool for detecting Pigment Red 53, showing good correlation with established methods like TLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
