Abstract A gas chromatographic and a colorimetric method for determining menthol in cigarette tobacco filler were studied collaboratively by 15 laboratories. No statistically significant differences were found in the precisions within or between laboratories. There were no significant differences between mean values for the two methods for any of the samples. Trends toward higher mean values for the colorimetric method and lower within-laboratory standard deviations for the gas chromatographic method were noted. Remarks by collaborators suggest that the accuracy and precision of the colorimetric method may be improved, and further studies are recommended.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method and two variations of a colorimetric method for determining menthol in cigarette tobacco filler were studied collaboratively by 13 laboratories. No statistically significant differences were found in the precisions within or between laboratories. There were no significant differences between means for any two of the three methods for any sample. A trend toward higher mean values was noted for both colorimetric procedures. The colorimetric procedure that uses a nonmentholated tobacco blank gave mean values nearest to those obtained by the gas chromatographic method. It is recommended that both the gas chromatographic method and the colorimetric method that uses the nonmentholated tobacco blank be adopted as official, first action

Abstract A gas chromatographic electron capture detector method is described for the quantitative determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in poultry fat. The samples are rendered and cleaned up using automated gel permeation chromatography. The collaborative samples consisted of 10 fortified samples and one incurred residue sample, all in duplicate. Fortification levels ranged from 0.15 to 1.0 ppm for a-BHC, lindane, cis- and frans-chlordane, octachlor epoxide, o,p' and p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-TDE, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin, endrin, methoxychlor, mirex, and toxaphene. The average recovery was 91.9% with a range of 81-102%. The ranges of coefficients of variation were: CVo = 3.39-14.79%; CVL = 0-16.6%; and CVx = 5.82-19.0%. The results indicate accuracy and precision comparable to other official methodology. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A simple gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of histapyrrodine HC1 in marketed formulations. Chlorpheniramine maleate is used as the internal standard. The amount of histapyrrodine HC1 found by the proposed method averaged 19.91 mg/tablet, compared with the label claim of 20 mg/tablet. The method was statistically evaluated for accuracy and precision.

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract A new method was developed for simultaneous determination of cholesterol and α-tocopherol in eggs. It involves rapid and simple sample preparation accomplished in one tube and chromatographic separation that does not require derivatization of analytes. Total analysis time per sample is 40 min. Labor, cost, and use of hazardous chemicals are minimized. To ensure selectivity, accuracy, and precision, critical analytical parameters were investigated. Overall recoveries were 98.8 and 99.2% for cholesterol and α-tocopherol, respectively. Linearity was acceptable for both analytes (r = 0.9964 for cholesterol and 0.9996 for α-tocopherol) in the fortification range examined. Precision data based on within-day and between-days variation gave overall relative standard deviations of 2.0% for cholesterol and 7.0% for α-tocopherol.The method was applied successfully for quantitation of cholesterol and α-tocopherol in eggs.

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described that is suitable for the determination of benalaxyl residues ranging from 10 to 0.1 μg/kg in several crops, must, wine, and water. The compound is extracted with acetone and purified either by partitioning between water and n-hexane or by passing the extract through an Extrelut column with n-hexane. Further purification is achieved by column chromatography on alumina. The active ingredient is finally determined by gas chromatography with nitrogenphosphorus detection. Mean recoveries were ≥95% in the various crops tested and in the 0.01-1.05 mg/kg fortification range. Standard deviations for each crop were ≤6.5%.

AbstractA gas chromatographic method was developed for the quantitative determination of a- and b-thiodan and thiodan sulphate on tobacco and in smoke condensate in concentrations as Iow as 0.01 parts per million. A survey was made of the thiodan and thiodan sulphate content of leaf tobacco and cigarettes. Thiodan and thiodan sulphate residues in leaf tobacco were found to amount to between 0.02 and 0.3 ppm and to between less than 0.02 and 0.05 ppm respectively. Cigarettes manufactured from Virginia tobacco were found to contain between 0.1 and 0.2 ppm of thiodan and less than 0.05 ppm of thiodan sulphate. The transfer rate of thiodan and thiodan sulphate from cigarette tobacco into the mainstream smoke ranged from 14.5 % to 16.3 %

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract A gas chromatographic method for the determination of cyanide residues in alcoholic beverages has been developed from procedures previously reported for application to water samples. Quantitatively isolating HCN from alcoholic beverages presented difficulties not encountered with aqueous solutions, particularly in the presence of SO2 in the sample. HCN was liberated from the acidified sample by heating at 70°C, flushed into an NaOH absorber solution, converted to cyanogen bromide (CNBr), extracted into diisopropyl ether, chromatographed on a Porapak Q column, and detected by an electron capture detector. SO2 that is present in most wines interfered with the bromination step and caused low recoveries. This interference was eliminated by initially converting any cyanide present in the sample to the stable mercuric cyanide salt and then purging the acidified sample solution of all SO2. The Hg(CN)2 present was then dissociated by adding KI and the analysis proceeded as previously described. Mean recoveries of 80–97 % were obtained for 2–20 μg cyanide from replicate analyses of spiked samples of distilled liquors free of SO2. The relative standard deviations ranged from 6.1 to 11.1%. Mean recoveries of 65 to 91% were obtained in the same range of cyanide from replicate analyses of spiked wine samples known to contain SO2, with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.8 to 10.2%. The limit of detection was 0.2 μg HCN.
