Abstract A collaborative study was made of a method for the determination of VC-13 Nemacide residues, based on the alkaline hydrolysis of the pesticide to produce 2,4-dichlorophenol, which is measured colorimetrically with 4-aminoantipyrine and potassium ferricyanide. Results indicate that cleanup technique is critical and not effective for some crops. Several changes in the method were recommended for the next study. Three of five collaborators obtained satisfactory recoveries at levels of 50—250 ppb.

Abstract Collaborative study was made of a method for Sevin, with apples and lettuce as test crops. The method is based on alkaline hydrolysis of Sevin and colorimetric determination of 1-naphthol, the hydrolysis product, with p-ni-trobenzenediazonium fluoborate as chromogenic coupling agent. Recoveries varied significantly among laboratories, types of crops, and level of insecticide. The method will be modified according to the collaborators’ suggestions, and the collaborative study will be repeated.

Abstract Collaborative study of a method for Sevin insecticide residues was repeated with apples and lettuce as test crops. The method is based on alkaline hydrolysis of Sevin and colorimetric determination of the resulting 1-naphthol with p-nitrobenzenediazonium fluoborate as chromogenic agent. Data from 5 collaborators were in good agreement with an average recovery of 87.8% at 2 concentration levels. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official, first action.

Abstract Chloroxuron technical and its 50% wettable powder were analyzed by 17 participants in a CIPAC collaborative study. The analytical method used involves acid extraction to remove interfering free amines, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the extraction residue, distillation, and titration of the liberated dimethylamine. Related byproducts which may interfere are determined by semiquantitative thin layer chromatography. Results obtained from 17 government and industrial collaborators showed good repeatability within laboratories. Good agreement was also achieved between laboratories. A reproducibility of about 1.5% was obtained. The method has been adopted as an interim official CIPAC-AOAC method.

A new simple and selective spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of malathion by using Gention violet is described. The method was based on the alkaline hydrolysis of malathion in presence of sodium ethoxide to form sodium dimethyl dithiophosphate (Na-DMDTP). The Na-DMDTP was formed as an ion-pair complex with cationic dye, gention violet. The ion-pair complex was extracted into chloroform. The color of the organic layer was measured at 587 nm. The method was applied to the determination of malathion residues in water, grain and soil samples

Abstract The major problems in the determination of available lysine in samples of high carbohydrate content are: (1) the destruction of e-dinitrophenyl lysine by carbohydrate decomposition products, and (2) the formation of interfering colored materials during hydrolysis of the samples. A procedure based on a modification of the Sanger reaction is described. Since this procedure is too involved and too intricate to be generally useful, collaborative study has been delayed and our efforts have been directed toward development of a simpler method.

Abstract An economical and precise method for spectrophotometric determination of fenpropathrin and fluvalinate pyrethroids is reported. The method involves alkaline hydrolysis of the pyrethroids to release HCN, which is converted to cyanogen bromide to form a colored complex with benzidine-pyridine reagent. This method can be used effectively to determine actual concentrations of these pyrethroids in their formulations. Results are comparable with results obtained by gas-liquid chromatography.
