Food Dyes Lab Report

210 Words1 Pages
The purpose of this lab is to determine what color food dye were in a sample of purple low calorie gatorade. In order to recreate the color of the gatorade three food color dyes were given, blue, red and yellow at a certain concentration. The absorbance of the gatorade was found by measuring it in a UV-Vis spectroscopy to determine which two wavelengths having the most absorbance. The absorbance curved peaked at 514 nm and 629.6 nm. Which means the color green and orange were being the most absorbed. The data shown that red and blue were reflected, and these are the dyes that would be in to make the final solution. To figure out what concentration was needed, a concentration curve was created for the red and blue dye. From the concentration
