Negative ion ESI–MS analysis of natural yellow dye flavonoids : an isotopic labelling study
Flavonoids are amongst the most commonly used natural yellow colourants in paintings, as lakes, and in historical textiles as mordant dyes. In this paper, evidence from isotopically labelled substrates is used to propose negative ion electrospray collision induced decomposition mechanisms of flavones, flavonols and an isoflavone. These mechanisms include a...McNab, Hamish ; Ferreira, Ester S B ; Hulme, Alison N ; Quye, Anita

Investigation of the degradation of cellulose acetate museum artefacts
Cellulose acetate artefacts from various museums have been analysed by micro-FTIR spectrometry and ion chromatography in an attempt to identify whether there are any common factors associated with their degradation. There was good correlation between the IR spectra, the concentration of ions extracted from an artefact and the visual degree...Littlejohn, D ; Petherick, R ; Quye, Anita ; Ballany, Jane M

Raman spectroscopy of coloured resins used in antiquity: dragon's blood and related substances
Dragon's blood is a deep red resin which has been used for centuries by many cultures and much prized for it's rarity, depth of colour and alchemical associations. The original source of dragon's blood resin is believed to be Dracaena cinnabari from Socotra in Africa, but since mediaeval times there...Edwards, Howell G M ; de Oliviera, Luiz Fernando C ; Quye, Anita
