Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy can easily identify turmeric due to its high fluorescence and clear, consistent pattern. Another yellow colorant thought to have been traditionally used, [[Amur cork tree|Japanese yellow wood]] or kihada also fluoresces very brightly but they give very distinctive EEM patterns, making it easy to differentiate between the two. Yellow wood has not been detected so far.

  • Malachite is used in early handcolored prints but disappears once color printing is introduced.
  • Dayflower, flavonoid
  • indigo?, flavonoid
  • Prussian blue, orpiment
