Abstract A method for the detection of chloroanisoles in soy oil utilizes partitioning between petroleum ether and acetonitrile followed by column chromatography on activated alumina. The eluate from the column, after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid, is analyzed by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. Recoveries from a 2 g sample of soy oil fortified at 0.01–1.0 ppm were 85–103% for pentachloroanisole, 82–99% for 2,3,4,6-tetrachloroanisole, and 75–96% for 2,4,6-trichloroanisole. Recoveries from samples fortified at 0.1–1.0 ppm were 83–99% for 2,4,5-trichloroanisole, 67–85% for 2,6-dichloroanisole, and 78–99% for 2,4-dichloroanisole.

Abstract A simple and accurate method has been developed for the quantitative determination of capsaicin in capsicum spices and their oleoresins. Capsaicin is extracted with acetone and separated from interfering substances, using an activated alumina column. The column is first eluted with acetone, and then the capsaicin is eluted with acetone-methanol-water (75+25+2). The capsaicin is quantitated by gas-liquid chromatography, using a Carbowax 20M-Teflon column and piperine as an internal standard. Results can be calculated as per cent capsaicin or Scoville units. Recovery of added capsaicin averaged 101%.

Abstract An analytical method is described for the determination of Compound 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) residues in 1–10 g tissue. Sample extracts of tissues are cleaned up with silica gel, and Compound 1080 (as fluoroacetic acid) is separated by a micro-distillation procedure. The fluoroacetic acid in the distillate is derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide to form pentafluorobenzyl fluoroacetate which is measured by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. Recoveries of sodium fluoroacetate from fortified tissue samples averaged about 25%. Despite the limited recoveries, results were quite reproducible, and levels as low at 2 ppm were determined in fortified 1 g samples, and 0.2 ppm in 10 g samples. The method is relatively simple and has been used routinely in our laboratory for the analysis of various types of samples such as grain, and tissues from birds, rodents, and larger animals.

Abstract A method is presented for the determination of the plant growth regulator maleic hydrazide (MH; l,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione) in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Residues are converted to the bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative before analysis by gas-liquid chromatography. The method has been applied to cigarettes and condensed smoke and has been used to determine the per cent transfer of MH into cigarette smoke. Free MH residues could be determined directly on the tobacco samples, whereas total MH values were obtainable only after acid hydrolysis. In spite of large MH residues in tobacco, only 0.2% of the MH was transferred into smoke.

Abstract Mirex and photomirex (8-monohydromirex) were separated from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other aromatic compounds by nitration with fuming nitric acid-concentrated sulfuric acid and removal of nitro-PCBs on an alumina microcolumn; the compounds were then determined by gas-liquid chromatography. Recoveries of Mirex and photomirex were 102±8 and 104±5%, respectively, from standard solutions which had a PCB-to-Mirex and photomirex ratio of 1000. Recoveries from fortified, uncontaminated samples of sediment, fish, and eggs averaged 93±7 and 92±3% for Mirex and photomirex, respectively. The coefficients of variation for repeatability and reproducibility averaged 8 and 15%, respectively, in an interlaboratory study conducted by 4 laboratories using extracts of naturally contaminated substrates (sediment, carp, eel, and gull egg). Levels of Mirex in the samples ranged from 0.1 to 8 mg/kg, and levels of PCB ranged from 0.5 to 166 mg/kg.

Abstract Total inorganic iodine in milk is determined by conversion to iodobutanone, which is quantitated by gas-liquid chromatography and electron capture detection. As little as 10 μg/L can be determined. The thyroid-active iodine content of milk can be determined rapidly with a relative standard deviation of 1.9%. Average recoveries for added iodide and iodine were 95.5 and 94.6%, respectively.

Abstract A procedure is described for the quantitative determination of 0.020—6.0 mg choline in low and high potency reference multiple vitamin tablets and standard liver preparations. The trimethylamine quantitatively produced in a sealed tube by treatment with aqueous 5 0% alkali is simultaneously extracted with 0.200—0.500 ml of an isobutanol-ethanol (1+1) mixture and determined by gas-liquid chromatography. An average recovery of 100 ± 3 % was obtained.

Abstract Residues of 2 - chloro - 1 - (3 - ethoxy- 4 - nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene and reduced metabolites are determined by digesting a sample methanol extract with aluminum in aqueous 10% sodium hydroxide to convert residues to 4-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenoxy]-2-ethoxybenzenamine. This compound is partitioned into hexane, using a simultaneous distillation-extraction process. The heptafluorobutyryl derivative is then prepared, partially purified by chromatography on Florisil, and measured by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. The method is sensitive to 0.01 ppm.

Abstract Wine samples containing β-asarone (cis-2,4,5-trimethoxy-1-propenylbenzene) are distilled; β-asarone is extracted by hexane and then quantitatively determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), using ethyl palmitate as the internal standard. The GLC procedure is rapid and yields precise and accurate results. Mass spectrometery confirmed the identity of the GLC peak as β-asarone. The ultraviolet spectra of β-asarone and its isomer were also determined.

Abstract Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) coupled with column chromatography was used to accurately determine as little as 25 ppm p-chloroacetanilide in acetaminophen. p-Chloroacetanilide was eluted from a pH 8 phosphate-buffered diatomite partition column by using purified tetrachloroethylene (acetaminophen was retained). This solution was concentrated, internal standard (docosane) was added, and p-chloroacetanilide was determined by using a 0.9 m × 2 mm glass column packed with 3% Poly A 103 on Supelcoport and a flame ionization detector with electronic integration. Standard curves were linear for 10–100 ppm p-chloroacetanilide. Various chromatographic materials were investigated for optimal retention characteristics. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was also evaluated as an alternative; however, lack of reproducibility of the HPLC column favored the GLC procedure.

Abstract A method is presented for the determination of permethrin (m-phenoxybenzyl cis,trans-(±)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl) - 2,2 - dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate) in bovine tissues. Fat and muscle samples were cleaned up first by liquid-liquid partition on a bonded phase chromatographic column. Final cleanup of fat and muscle was performed on a short Florisil column. Liver, kidney, spleen, and heart tissues only required cleanup on a Florisil column before quantitation of permethrin by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography.
