Two methods for the simultaneous determination of Sunset Yellow and Ponceau
4R in gelatin powders by first derivative spectrophotometry and by partial
least-squares multivariate spectrophotometric calibration are described. T
hese procedures do not require any separation step. These methods were appl
ied to determine both colorants in commercial gelatin powders and the resul
ts obtained were compared. A good statistical agreement was obtained betwee
n the results.
