Abstract Zinc was extracted from various stock and mixed feeds by EDTA and then determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The EDTA extraction was found to be almost as effective as the standard HNO3-HCIO4 digestion, but it was easier and more rapid. The method was preferable to dry ashing because considerable losses of zinc often occur in the latter method when animal feeds are analyzed.

Abstract The effect of alcohol and sugar concentration on the atomic absorption analysis of copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, lead, cadmium, and cobalt has been investigated. Sugar reduced the sensitivity of analysis but could be compensated for by using the method of additions. Interference from alcohol was avoided by introducing an evaporation stage, and the concentration of the above cations was determined by direct aspiration in 24 native and imported wines.

Abstract The atomic absorption method studied last year was re-examined and extended to include calcium and sodium. The procedures were submitted to 16 collaborators for determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, and Zn. Results for Ca and Na were discouraging; further study is recommended.

Abstract The official first action AOAC method for the spectrophotometric determination of biuret in urea, 2.072—2.074, was compared with official first action AOAC method 2.C01-2.C03 (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), 2 simplified versions of 2.072-2.074, and modified versions of 2 alternative procedures of the International Organization for Standardization. Three synthetic urea samples (0.3, 1.4, and 3.0% biuret) and 1 commercial urea sample (1.0% biuret) were analyzed. The methods proved to be equivalent and none showed a definite advantage over 2.072-2.074. The purification of biuret and the interference by ammonia are also discussed.
