Sappanwood 蘇芳 (suō): A red dye extracted from several tropical trees, such as Paubrasilia echinata, commonly known as brazilwood from Brazil and Biancaea sappan, commonly known as sappanwood from Southeast Asia. Its principal colorant is Brasilin, a hydroxyanthraquinone, that gives a deep red to brownish color when it is oxidized to form brasilein.
Sappanwood has been detected but the use of it appears to have been infrequent. Due to its sensitivity to pH, sappanwood can be manipulated to produce a range of colors as pink, red, or oranges. It is unknown if printers adjusted the pH to create a range of colors. Evidence of pH manipulation is difficult to extrapolate from the prints themselves since many of the examples have discolored to a dull pinkish brown due to fading and/or ageing.
For additional information see: Sappanwood, Biancaea sappan (Kew)

Analysis
Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy can easily identify the organic reds: safflower, madder, and sappanwood. Sappanwood does not fluoresces under UVA radiation and produces a unique EEM pattern.
