Abstract

Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) with alumina N as adsorbent has been used for extraction of para red, Sudan 1, Sudan 2, Sudan 3, and Sudan 4 dyes from egg yolk. The extracts were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS–MS). Mean recovery for the five dyes ranged from 63.2 to 98.6%, with CV 0.55–10.00%. One sample was confirmed to contain 0.3 mg kg−1 Sudan 4.
