Decolourised, as in changed into colourless?

Drinking more water will only dilute the colour.

The golden yellow colour of urine is caused by several molecules, mainly stercobilin and uroporphyrin. You would want to break down these relatively large molecules to remove the colour. Alternatively, you can filter them out by centrifugal force.

Hope this helps.

I apologise for this, but being a physicist I am forced to point out that there is no such thing as centrifugal force! Im sorry its just something that annoys me :redface:

Or centrifugation in a centrifuge (Biologists don't understand the physics - we just stick the sample in and press a button :p: )

I hope you're happy now! :p:
