Abstract In this method for 4-hydroxyproline in urine, hydroxyproline is derivatized with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, with subsequent estimation by reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatography. The ranges for excretion of free and total hydroxyproline while the subjects were ingesting unrestricted diets were 2-29 and 122-374 mumol/24 h (n = 21), respectively, with no significant sex-related difference. A comparison with results by colorimetry indicated no significant differences: mean (n = 18) concentrations (mumol/L) of hydroxyproline in urine were 180 (SD 149) by the present method, 163 (SD 166) by colorimetry. For protein hydrolysate the respective values were 5.9 (SD 2.7) and 6.7 (SD 2.9).

Abstract A simple, rapid, efficient method has been developed for determining thiabendazole, o-phenylphenol, and diphenyl in citrus fruits by using high performance liquid chromatography, with fluorescence or ultraviolet detection. The compounds are extracted with ethyl acetate and separated from soluble fruit components on a LiChrosorb RP-8 column. Recovery of these compounds added to citrus fruits at 5 or 50 ppm levels was >93%; the limit of detection for the compounds is 1 ppm.

Abstract A phenylboronate affinity gel has been investigated for use in the prepurification of urine before "high-performance" liquid chromatography and electrochemical determination of 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa. At pH 5.6 this naturally occurring 5-S-cysteinyldopa was adsorbed on a phenylboronate column and was quantitatively eluted with trichloroacetate, pH 3.0. This pretreatment of urine before "high-performance" liquid chromatography produced satisfactory chromatographic separations, and the results were further improved when the purification procedure also included treatment on a cation exchanger. By using 5-S-D-cysteinyl-L-dopa--a diastereomer to 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa--as an internal standard, we have developed a practical routine method for the quantitative determination of urinary 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa. The precision (CV = 2.4%) and analytical recovery (96.9%, SD 5.3%) were satisfactory and the results obtained correlated well with a previously described method.

Abstract High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine quinizarin, p-toluidine, and D&C Violet No. 2 in D&C Green No. 6. Recoveries averaging 102, 105, and 104% were obtained for quinizarin, p-toluidine, and D&C Violet No. 2, respectively. Multiple runs on one sample of D&C Green No. 6 indicated variability in the amount of p-toluidine found.

Abstract This method for determination of haloperidol in plasma is based on "high-performance" isocratic liquid chromatography with the use of a C8 bonded reversed-phase column at room temperature. Haloperidol and the internal standard (chloro-substituted analog) are extracted from alkalinized plasma into isoamyl alcohol/heptane (1.5/98.5 by vol) and back-extracted into dilute H2SO4. The aqueous phase is directly injected onto the column. The mobile phase is a 30/45/25 (by vol) mixture of phosphate buffer (16.5 mmol/L, pH 7.0), acetonitrile, and methanol. Unlike other liquid-chromatographic procedures for haloperidol, commonly used psychotropic drugs do not interfere. Analysis can be completed within an hour. The procedure is extremely sensitive (1.0 microgram/L) and is well reproducible (CV 5.6% for a 2.5 micrograms/L concentration in plasma).

Abstract We propose a single-run liquid-chromatographic determination, with ultraviolet detection at 330 nm, for serum retinol and retinyl esters. The vitamin A derivatives are extracted according to the Bligh-Dyer procedure. With 200 microliter or serum, the lower detection limit is 50 microgram/liter for retinol and about 100 microgram/liter for retinyl esters. Within-run precision (CV) was 2.3% for retinol, 4.3% for retinyl palmitate. Day-to-day percision (CV, n = 20) for retinol was 4.9% during a month. The method can be used for the assessment of vitamin A absorption tests and for the determination of serum retinol (normal, subnormal, and above-normal concentrations). Serum retinyl esters can only be measured in conditions where concentrations exceed 100 microgram/liter.

Abstract Five methods were investigated for the determination of levulinic acid in soy sauce to determine the addition of protein hydrolysate, mainly acid hydrolysate of defatted soybeans. Best results were obtained by using liquid chromatography (LC) with 0.004M HC104 as the mobile phase and bromcresol purple as a post-column reagent. An innovative LC method with 0.1% H3PO4 as eluant was developed for determination of levulinic acid at 280 nm in soy sauce. This was the most timesaving method.
