Determining qualitative and quantitative synthetich food paint in Turkish delight and research changes of antioxidants on rats which were given different dose of food paints to them

Usage of food paints which use to provide appearance increased rise day by day. Seventy-nine different Turkhish Delight samples which were red and yellow, were taken from different factories in Afyonkarahisar. Food paints were used Turkhish Delight which were researched both quantitative and qualitative. Some food paints were fixed such as Ponceau 4R, Carmosine, and Tartrazin, and their amount were determined.Thirty-four samples are suitable for standarts,fourty-five samples are over standarts in these samples. Dose of food paints were calculated to give fifty rats by considerating these amount of paints in samples and ADI value of JECFA. In experimental research for this purpose, the rats were classified into five groups. Food paints were given all groups except control group. Dose of paints which were 3 mg/kg yellow dose for low dose, 15 mg/kg yellow dose for high dose, 0.5 mg/kg red dose for low dose, 2.5 mg/kg red dose for high dose were provided to take daily. In blood, all changes which occured were determined for all groups. At the end of analysis, MDA value didn?t change statistically according to control group but GSH value on all other groups were higger than the control group. As a result, high dose of food paints are used in Turkish Delights which are sold in Afyonkarahisar. Also, it is determined that this high dose is effected GSH value.
