Amaranth (E 123) is synthetic dyes which commonly used in the industry and scientifically applied as textiles and paper productions as well as for cosmetic and pharmaceutical production. However, higher consumption of Amaranth may lead to hyperactivity and other disturbed behaviour especially in children. World Health Organization (WHO) with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of Amaranth between 0 and 0.5 mg kg(-1). Several extraction and analytical methods have available for quantifying and identifying the existence level of Amaranth in food products. Herein, we critically discussed those existing analytical methods applied such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), spectrophotometric, electrochemical sensor and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Additionally, a brief description on the uses of different extraction methods such as solid phase extraction (SPE), liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and membrane filtration have presented. In this review incorporated valuable information's that intended as a guideline or idea in choosing an appropriate method for detection of Amaranth in foodstuffs. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
