Abstract

At this time many flavored drinks are traded in the market. Flavored drinks or what are often referred to as soft drinks are the terms used to describe the types of drinks that are sold in special packaging so that they can be consumed directly without having to be processed first. At this time the dyes that are often used in processed foods or beverages are divided into natural dyes and synthetic dyes. Synthetic dyes are generally made from chemicals. Sometimes entrepreneurs who want to make big profits use non-food grade dyes to give color to food or drinks. Rhodamine B textile dye is a synthetic dye in the form of a green or reddish-purple crystalline powder at high concentrations, while at low concentrations it is light in color and belongs to the basic xanthene group. Rhodamine B is made from raw materials of meta-diethylaminophenol and phthalic anhydride. These two raw materials are not edible but are only used for dyeing textiles, paints, paper, or clothing. These substances are often misused as food coloring and cosmetics in many countries. Foods found to contain Rhodamine B included crackers (58%), shrimp paste (51%), and snacks (42%). Rhodamin B is found in confectionery, syrup, sweets, dawet, porridge, smoked fish and cendol. Red-flavoured drinks that are traded in the Lubuk Pakam area contain Rhodamine B dye.

Abstract

Background : Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye that is generally used as a dye for paper, textiles or inks. The use of Rhodamine B is certainly very dangerous for health. Rhodamine B if used directly on the human body will cause irritation of the respiratory tract and can cause cancer and liver damage. Although there are negative impacts, the use of these dyes is still often done, especially for food and cosmetic products. Purpose : This research was conducted to identify and determine levels of Rhodamine B in liptint traded in Lubuk Pakam sub-District. Method : Qualitative analysis of Rhodamine B was carried out by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) using ethylacetate-methanol-ammonia (45:25:30), while quantitative analysis for assay was carried out using UV-VIS Spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 545 nm. The linear calibration curve in the range of 1 - 5 ?g /ml resulted in the regression equation y = 0.0091x - 0.009. Results : The results of the qualitative analysis showed that the three samples containing Rhodamine B with each Rf value of 0.87 cm (sample A), 0.96 cm (sample B), 0.98 cm (sample C) and quantitatively the levels for sample A were known is 13,144 mg/g, sample B is 27,704 mg/g and sample C is 20,386 mg/g. Conclusion : From this research, it is known that there is still the use of Rhodamine B as a dye in liptint traded in Lubuk Pakam sub-district
