Abstract A method is described for the quantitative determination of saccharin in urine, feces, blood, and animal tissues. The saccharin is extracted with diethyl ether and methylated with methyl iodide to provide a volatile derivative for gas-liquid chromatography. Higher levels, as found in urine and feces, are determined with a flame ionization detector and lower levels, as in blood and tissues, are analyzed with an electron capture detector after a thin layer chromatographic separation.

Abstract A spectrodensitometric method has been developed for the quantitative determination of chloramine-T (N-chloro-Ar-sodium-p-toluenesulfonamide) in ice cream. Chloramine-T is extracted and converted into p-toluenesulfonamide (p-TSA) followed by thin layer chromatographic separation of concentrated extracts on silica gel and quantitation of the p-TSA spots from standards and samples by direct scanning with a reflectance densitometer at 228 nm. A linear relationship was obtained between recorded peak area and concentration for 0.5–7.0 μg p-TSA/spot. The reproducibility of the complete method was 2.87% (n = 9 determinations). The detection limit of the scanning procedure was 0.5 μg p-TSA/spot, corresponding to a concentration of 4 mg chloramine-T/kg sample. The average recovery was 88±3% (P = 95%) for 10 ice cream samples spiked with chloramine-T at levels ranging from 10 to 55 mg/kg. The described method was used to assay 146 commercial ice cream and whipped cream samples for chloramine-T.

Abstract A thin layer chromatographic (TLC)-spectrophotofluorometric method was developed for quantitative determination of thiabendazole on and in citrus. Whole citrus fruits are surface stripped with ethyl acetate and a concentrated aliquot is separated by TLC. Wholefruit blends, juice, oil, and dried citrus pulp cattle feed are extracted with ethyl acetate, partitioned into 0.1N HC1, and then partitioned into ethyl acetate-chloroform from an aqueous basic solution prior to TLC. Thiabendazole is eluted from the chromatogram with acidified methanol and the intensity of fluorescence is compared to standards similarly chromatographed and measured. The method is accurate in determining thiabendazole content ranging from 0.2 to 6 ppm. Recoveries of thiabendazole from fortified samples were 95–99% for surface strippings and 70–91% for rind and pulp extractives. No significant difference was found between residue values determined by the TLC method and by the Merck method. TLC eliminates citrus constituents which occasionally interfere with the Merck method.

ABSTRACT A procedure for the quantitative determination of 5β-pregnan-3α-ol-20-one in urine is described. After acid hydrolysis of the pregnanolone-conjugates in urine, the free steroids are extracted with toluene. Pregnanolone is isolated in a pure form as its acetate; after chromatographic separation of the free steroids on alumina, the fraction containing pregnanolone is acetylated and rechromatographed on alumina. Quantitative determination of the isolated pregnanolone-acetate is carried out with the aid of the infrared spectrum recorded by a micro KBr-wafermethod. The reliability of the method under various conditions is discussed under the headings, specificity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity. It is possible to determine 30–40 μg pregnanolone in a 24-hours urine portion with a precision of 25%.
