Corresponding author hamidisamin@ https ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received 3. 10. 2020 The present work aimed to determine colorants used as food additives to confirm the gummy candy products authentication using a Revised 17. 6. 2021 newly designed adsorbent in magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction. Nowadays many kinds of synthetic dyes are widely added to Accepted 29. 6. 2021 food products and should be strictly monitored and regulated like other food additives. A mesoporous aerogel magnetic graphene Published oxide@zein adsorbent was prepared in a template-free and facile self-assembling manner for magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction extraction of 8 frequently used synthetic dyes in gummy candy samples. The adsorbent was designed and successfully characterized by scanning electron microscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy vibrating-sample magnetometry and Brunauer Emmett Teller Regular article analysis. The isotherm parameters were calculated and the amount of colorant was determined using high performance chromatography. The proposed method was validated according to the FDA guidelines over the concentration range of µg mL. The maximum adsorption capacities of the adsorbent for Tartrazine Quinoline Yellow Ponceau 4R Sunset Yellow Allura Red Carmoisine Indigo Carmine and Brilliant Blue FCF were and mg g-1 .
