Popis: An impurity in the color additives D&C Red No. 30 (R30) and D&C Red No. 30 lakes (R30L) was newly identified and characterized as 7-chloro-5-methyl-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one (BTZ), and its extent and level in certified batches of these color additives was determined. BTZ was extracted from the dye with ethanol, resulting in a crude extract enriched to a concentration of over 60%. BTZ was then separated from a portion of the enriched extract by high-speed counter-current chromatography using a spiral-tube assembly column with intermittently pressed tubing of 60 ml capacity. It was the first reported use of such a column to separate a small, moderately hydrophobic compound. The two-phase solvent system was also moderately hydrophobic, consisting of hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (5:2:5:2), and the retention of the organic stationary phase measured after the separation was 83.3%. The separation yielded BTZ of two purity grades, the higher of which (~95.5%) was used as a standard to quantify the impurity in 37 batches of R30 and R30L using an HPLC method developed and validated for that purpose. Analyses revealed a wide range of BTZ levels across batches
