Abstract

A multiway data analysis model, namely parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was proposed to decompose a three-way array of second-order kinetic UV measurements, for the chlorination reaction of caffeine with NaOCl, into a set of the spectra, time, and concentration matrices. The multiway resolution provided the simultaneous estimation of spectral, kinetic, and quantitative analysis of caffeine. The ability of the PARAFAC tool was checked by analyzing the validation samples in the presence of interferences. The added recovery and relative standard deviations for caffeine in the spiked samples were calculated as 99.1%-99.5% and 0.52%-1.34% for Iced Coffee Black liquid coffee (ICB), 99.5%-103.0% and 0.42%-1.03% for Jacobs Monarch Gold 100% Instant Coffee (JMG) and 99.5%-101.4% and 0.11%-0.13% for Çaykur Black Filter (Süzen) Bag Tea (BTB). Caffeine in commercial drinks was analyzed using the concentration matrices of the PARAFAC application. The PARAFAC results were statistically compared to those obtained by the developed UPLC method.
