Abstract A rapid method is described for the determination of 2- and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (2- and 3-BHA), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and propyl gallate (PG) as their heptafluorobutyrates in edible oils. A solution of the oil in ether-benzene is treated with heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA) in the presence of trimethylamine as catalyst. Excess HFBA is destroyed and a suitably diluted aliquot is analyzed by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. An internal standard is added before derivatization to aid quantitation and identification of the antioxidants. Average recoveries from an oil spiked at 1, 5, 5, and 5 ppm TBHQ, 2-BHA, 3-BHA, and PG were 110, 105, 106, and 102%, respectively. At these low levels, however, some late-eluting peaks interfered. Butylated hydroxytoluene is not determined by this method.

ABSTRACT The 17-oxosteroids were estimated in the urine of 27 patients with Cushing's syndrome by gas-liquid chromatography (G. L. C.). The values of the various steroid fractions are compared with those of normal subjects, patients with thyrotoxicosis and obese subjects. The effect of the age of the patients on the diagnostic value of the invidual 17-oxosteroids and their ratios is discussed.

Techniques developed for use with gas-liquid chromatography for the examination of evidence collected at the scene of suspected arson fires and firebombings are discussed. Both solvent extraction and vapor phase examinations are employed. Internal standards are used for the identification of specific components in actual samples to allow confirmation of hydrocarbon type, e.g., gasoline and kerosene. Operating parameters and solvent selection criteria are included. Results obtained from known materials and residual hydrocarbons in actual samples are compared.
