Abstract A method is given for the quantitative determination of sodium lauryl sulfate in liquid, frozen, powdered, or flake-dried egg white. The egg white is dissolved in water and the protein is precipitated with ethanol and filtered off. The filtrate is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in water, and the pH is adjusted to 5.0. Total alkyl sulfates are titrated with standard benzethonium chloride solution in the presence of chloroform with bromphenol blue indicator. Results are calculated as sodium lauryl sulfate. The formation of the bromphenol bluebenzethonium chloride complex, when excess benzethonium chloride is present, is taken as the end point. The blue-green complex is soluble in the chloroform. Overall recoveries of sodium lauryl sulfate from egg whites ranged from 94 to 100%. Collaborative study of the method is recommended.

Abstract A colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of sodium lauryl sulfate in liquid, frozen, and powdered egg white was studied by eight collaborators. Determinations were made on flake and powdered egg white at levels of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% (w/w) and on liquid egg white at levels of 0.006, 0.0125, and 0.0250% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate. The egg white is dissolved in water, and the protein is precipitated with ethanol and removed by filtration. An aliquot of the filtrate is evaporated to dryness, and the residue is dissolved in water and acidified with sulfuric acid. The sodium lauryl sulfate is complexed with Azure A, extracted into chloroform, and determined spectrophotometrically at 637 mμ. A blank determination is made on another aliquot of the filtrate by complexing the sodium lauryl sulfate with benzethonium chloride. This is a stable colorless complex. Average recoveries in the collaborative study were 98—102% with a mean deviation of 2.8—5.4%. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official, first action.

Abstract A collaborative study of a rapid method for the determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in winter wheat was successfully completed. The method involves sample extraction with acetonitrile-water (84 + 16), cleanup using a disposable column of charcoal, Celite, and alumina, and detection by thin layer chromatography after spraying with an aluminum chloride solution. Each of the 15 collaborators analyzed 12 samples, 2 of which were naturally contaminated, and 10 to which DON was added, in duplicate, at levels of 0,50,100,300, and 1000 ng/ g. Average recoveries of DON ranged from 78 to 96% with repeatabilities of 30-64% and reproducibilities of 33-87%. The results of the study show that false positives were not a problem and that all of the analysts could detect DON at the 300 ng/g level or higher. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted among 3 laboratories comparing 2 detergent solutions, 2% Igepal CO 630 and the AOAC-approved 2% sodium lauryl sulfate, in the analysis of extraneous materials in chocolate liquor. Each laboratory tested a minimum of 8 samples per detergent solution. No significant differences were found between the numbers of rodent hairs and insect fragments recovered with the 2 detergent solutions and, in addition, igepal produced cleaner filter papers. The 2% Igepal CO 630 detergent solution has been adopted as a substitute for 2% sodium lauryl sulfate in 44.006(b) for chocolate liquor.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on an alternative sieving method for the extraction of light filth from cheeses. The alternative method was developed that is applicable to broad variety of cheeses. A 225 g test portion is dispersed in a solution of 5.7% HCI, Igepal CO-730, and Igepal DM-710. Digested cheese is wet-sieved on a No. 230 sieve. The residue is treated with Tergitol Anionic 4, transferred to 1% sodium lauryl sulfate solution, heated, and maintained at 65°-75°C for 10 min. The residue is washed with these 2 surfactants a maximum of 4 times until it is reduced to an amount that is filterable. The residue is filtered and the filter papers are examined microscopically at a magnification of ca 30×. Average recoveries by 9 collaborators for 3 spike levels of rat hairs (5,10, and 15) were 80, 68, and 81%, respectively; for insect fragments (5,15, and 30) recoveries were 97, 90, and 92%, respectively. The alternative sieving method for extraction of light filth from cheeses has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Sodium cetearyl sulfate is the sodium salt of a mixture of cetyl and stearyl sulfate. The other ingredients in this safety assessment are also alkyl salts, including ammonium coco-sulfate, ammonium myristyl sulfate, magnesium coco-sulfate, sodium cetyl sulfate, sodium coco/hydrogenated tallow sulfate, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium decyl sulfate, sodium ethylhexyl sulfate, sodium myristyl sulfate, sodium oleyl sulfate, sodium stearyl sulfate, sodium tallow sulfate, sodium tridecyl sulfate, and zinc coco-sulfate. These ingredients are surfactants used at concentrations from 0.1% to 29%, primarily in soaps and shampoos. Many of these ingredients are not in current use. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel previously completed a safety assessment of sodium and ammonium lauryl sulfate. The data available for sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate provide sufficient basis for concluding that sodium cetearyl sulfate and related alkyl sulfates are safe in the practices of use and concentration described in the safety assessment.
