[PMID: 38086153 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
As a current trend of fabricating healthier products, food manufacturing companies seek for natural-based food colorant aiming to replace the synthetic ones, which apart from meeting sensorial and organoleptic aspects, they can also act as health promoters offering additional added value. Carminic acid is a natural based food colorant typically found in several insect taxa. However, there are current approaches which pursue the production of this natural pigment via biotechnological synthesis. To date, this colorant has been intensively applied in the manufacture of several food items. Unfortunately, one of the main limitations deals with the establishment of the right protocol of extraction and purification of this component since there is no report analyzing the main extraction techniques for obtaining carminic acid. Therefore, this review, for the first time, comprehensively analyzes the ongoing strategies and protocols proposed by scientists towards either extraction or purification of carminic acid from its origin source, and from biotechnological systems. Emphasis has been focused on the main findings dealing with extraction techniques and the relevant insights in the field. A detailed discussion is provided on the advantages and drawbacks of the reported extraction and purification methods, main solvents used and their key interactions with target molecules.

A rapid colorimetric method for the detection of carminic acid in samples based on visible color change. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 302:122953. [PMID: 37392539 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Carminic Acid (CA), an insect-derived red color, is widely used as a colorant and additive in food and non-food items. The detection of CA is of great concern since it is unacceptable for vegetarians and vegans consumers. Therefore, it is important for food authorities to have a rapid detection method for CA. We describe here a simple and rapid method for the qualitative detection of CA, using Pb2+ for complex formation. As a result, the sample solution shows a visible change from pink to purple (bathochromic shift) which could also be analyzed through a spectrophotometer at λmax = 605 nm. The structure of the CA-Pb2+ complex was also studied through advanced spectroscopic techniques. Moreover, the presence of iron results in the formation of a stable CA-Fe2+ complex without any significant color change, as Fe2+ has a stronger binding affinity with CA. Thus, sodium fluoride (NaF) was used to prevent CA-Fe2+ complex formation. Therefore, two methods were developed based on the absence (method I) and presence (method II) of NaF. The LOD and LOQ for the method I was 0.0025 and 0.0076 mg mL-1, and for method II, values were 0.0136 and 0.0415 mg mL-1, respectively. The methods were also validated by intra and inter-day analyses. A total of 45 commercials, including food and non-food samples, were screened for the detection of CA. The developed methods are applicable for the effective and rapid surveillance of CA in various samples without the use of high-tech instruments.

Kavieva L, Ziyatdinova G. Sensitive voltammetric quantification of carminic acid in candies using selenium dioxide nanoparticles based electrode. Food Chem 2022; 386:132851. [PMID: 35366626 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.132851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Carminic acid is a food colorant which concentration has to be controlled due to the possible negative health effects. Sensitive voltammetric method is developed for carminic acid determination using electrode modified with SeO2 nanoparticles (SeO2 NPs) and hexadecyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (HDTPPB) acting as dispersive agent for nanoparticles and electrode surface co-modifier. SeO2 NPs of 37-45 nm are uniformly distributed at the electrode increasing its electroactive area (41 ± 2 vs. 8.9 ± 0.2 mm2 for bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE)). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data confirm an 18.3-fold decrease of charge transfer resistance compared to GCE (12.7 ± 0.3 vs. 232 ± 7 kΩ, respectively). In differential pulse mode, the linear dynamic ranges of carminic acid are 0.010-2.5 and 2.5-10 μmol L-1 with a detection limit of 3.4 nmol L-1. The method is successfully employed in candies and lozenges for sore throat treatment. The approach is simple, reliable, and can be used as an alternative to chromatography in routine analysis.
