Abstract: Make use of the trait of aqueous polymer can separated two phases with solution in the presence of inorganic salt, carmine and amaranth was transferred polymer phase. Disturber of other matters was removed. In an borax buffer medium of pH≈8, the content of carmine and amaranth was determined with dual wavelength spectrophotometer. Good linear relationdip was obtained in the range of 0.8~60μg of carmine per milliliter of solution, 1~70μg of amaranth per milliliter of solution, and recoveries were found in the range of 96%~105%. The method is quick, accurate and be handled easily.

Key words: polymer, carmine, amaranth, dual wavelength spectrophotometer
