초록

Gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) pigment solution and Jindo Hongju prepared in the laboratory showed characteristic pH-dependent color changes and a shift in absorption maxima. This phenomenon was not observed in the solution of the artificial food colorant Red No. 2 which was suspected to be used in the manufacture of fake Jindo Hongju. A few fake products could be detected by using the pH-dependent shift in absorption maxima among the Jindo Hongju on market.
