| Summary: | Introduction: Color is an organoleptic attribute that directly affects consumers' acceptance and choice of foods. Synthetic colorants have been associated with numerous side effects, including toxicity, allergies, and behavioral and neurocognitive effects. Most fruit juice sold in the market may contain synthetic color, which poses serious health risks. Red fruit juices, such as cherry and barberry juice, have gained significant attention from consumers in recent years due to their color, phytochemical components, and health benefits. Unfortunately, the potential for adulteration with artificial colors in these juices is considerable, mainly when manufactured and distributed through retail. There has been a growing interest in developing rapid techniques that require minimal sample preparation for identifying such adulterations. Consequently, this study proposes using spectral fingerprints generated by an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) in conjunction with multivariate data analysis as a user-friendly approach for detecting the adulteration of cherry and barberry juices with various synthetic colorants, including Allura red, Ponceau 4R, and Carmoisine. |
