Rhodamin is one of additional food ingredient which often used to recolour the food.
The additional food ingredient contains carsinogenic which can affect our health with a cancer as
that ingredient is not acceptable ingredient for food. Unfortunately,many Indonesian do not know

seller. The samples are being analyzed with Kremtografi Lapis Tipis (KLT). The result of the
analysis showed that all of the sample is negative. On the other hand, there is no Rhodamin B on
it. The indicated sample has the same Rf with Rhodamin B. It will change it color into red as its
response toward H2SO4 and HCl. The sample also being compared with wantex. The result
showed that the Rf samples had A3, A4, A5, B4, B5,C1, C2, C3, C4 dan C5. Based on the result,
the assumption of the samples is that the samples have wantex material on it
