Abstract A rapid method for determining biphenyl in citrus fruits has been developed and was studied collaboratively. Biphenyl is separated from fruit tissue by steam liquidliquid extraction. The ra-heptane extract is subjected to preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) on plates coated with silica gel containing phosphors for ready visibility of the biphenyl spots under UV light. The spots are removed from the plate and extracted with alcohol for spectrophotometric measurement at 248 mμ. The TLC cleanup adds specificity to the method; o-phenylphenol, if present, does not interfere and crop blanks are insignificant. The average of 36 recoveries (12 each at abovit 100, 50, and 10 ppm) was 96.7% with a mean deviation of 10.7%. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official, first action.

Abstract The conversion of dimethoate to its oxygen analog and the production of oxidative metabolites of Thimet in soil has been shown by using emission spectroscopic gas chromatography for their determination. Preparative thin layer chromatography was vised for prior separation of Thimet oxidation products. The sulfoxide and sulfone of Thimet were the major determinable products.
