Abstract A simple colorimetric method is described for determining the quantity of hydrogen cyanide produced by the spontaneous decomposition of amygdalin in apricot kernels. The evolved cyanide is collected in sodium hydroxide solution and assayed colorimetrically by reaction with picric acid. Results for duplicate assays, 3.02 and 3.06 mg CN-/g, compare well with those obtained by AOAC method 26.115 which specifies steam distillation and silver nitrate titration; results for triplicate assays were 3.02, 3.03, and 3.08 mg CN-/g by the latter. Recovery of cyanide from potassium cyanide at a level equivalent to 243 μg CN-/g was 101.0%.

A sensitive accurate colorimetric method for trimethylamine determination is presented, based on the extraction with toluene of an alkaline sample containing 0.002 to 0.02 mg. trimethylamine nitrogen, and the formation of the yellow coloured picrate by mixing with a picric acid reagent. The application of the method in fishery products and effects of interfering substances have been investigated.

Abstract A colorimetric method for determining thymol and eugenol in volatile oils is presented. Thymol and eugenol are reacted with sodium cobaltinitrite in aqueous acetic acid. The yellow color produced is measured at 330 and 370 nm in chloroform, and at 396 and 450 nm in sodium hydroxide solution for thymol and eugenol, respectively. The method is applied to the assay of thyme oil (thymol type) and clove oil. The results obtained are reasonably reproducible with a coefficient of variation less than 2%.

Colour Reaction

A colorimetric method for the determination of proline is described. The procedure involves the oxidation of proline with lead peroxide and the condensation of the oxidation product with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to give a red compound. The oxidation product can, if desired, be separated by steam distillation before applying the colour reaction. The method is limited in application to proteins which contain little or no hydroxyproline. By this method casein is found to contain 7.94% of proline.

Analytical Result

Abstract A colorimetric method for the determination of hydroxyproline as a measure of collagen in meat and meat products has been collaboratively studied in 18 laboratories. The method includes hydrolysis with sulfuric acid, oxidation with chloramine- T, and formation of a reddish purple complex with 4- dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. Five frozen and 3 freeze-dried samples were tested, ranging in content from 0.11 to 0.88% and from 0.39 to 4.0% hydroxyproline, respectively. The mean values of 2 identical samples were 0.245 and 0.251 %. The average recovery from a spiked sample was 96.1 %. The hydroxyproline content of a known sample (a mixture of 2 samples in the ratio 5:2) was calculated to 1.42%, which agrees well with the analytical result, 1.40%. In comparison with other collaborative studies, based on the ISO analytical method, the repeatability and reproducibility of this method agree well with the other results. This method was accepted as an official NMKL method by all national Committees, and has been adopted official first action by AOAC as an NMKLAOAC method.

The Relationship

It has been repeatedly pointed out(1, 2, 3) that the properties of cheese during the different stages of its manufacture should be correlated with the hydrogenion concentration rather than with the titratable acidity. Little systematic work has, however, so far been carried out in this direction, except for a study of the relationship between pH and titratable acidity in Cheddar cheese by Brown & Price(4). In planning work on similar lines, it was realized that the potentiometric methods of determining pH require expensive equipment and skilled attention, so that a supplementary colorimetric method, if sufficiently accurate to indicate the major changes in pH, should appeal more strongly to the practical cheesemaker on account of its cheapness and simplicity and the ease with which the outfit can be transported.

The Difference

Abstract A colorimetric method is proposed for determination of terbutaline sulfate, orciprenaline sulfate, and their dosage forms. The suggested method depends on nitrosation of the 2 drugs by using sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid. Addition of sodium hydroxide increases the intensity of the color developed. The difference between absorption values measured in acid and alkaline media is taken as a measure of concentration. Variables were carefully studied and optimized. Results for both compounds adhered to Beer's law over the range 2- 28 μg/mL. The method has proved to be accurate and precise for analysis of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Abstract A method is described which will quantitatively determine 0.1 mg oxyphenisatin or the diacetate in various pharmaceutical preparations. After removal of interferences by organic solvent extractions from aqueous solution and partition column chromatography, the reaction of oxyphenisatin (diacetate) with silver nitrate in alcoholic sodium hydroxide solution produces a violet solution, which follows Beer’s law (1—15 μg per ml). The method was satisfactorily applied to the assay of commercial tablets, liquids, and powders with recoveries, as per cent found of declared, in the range 95—101%.

Abstract This spectrophotometric method for the direct determination of potassium in serum or plasma is based on the selective complexing of potassium by a specific macrocyclic polyether, with the subsequent formation of an ion-pair with a colored anion. The colored anion is extracted into an organic solvent, clarified by centrifugation, and then measured at 415 nm. The absorbance of the chromogen varies linearly with [K+] to at least 15 mmol/L. Results of this colorimetric method (y) correlate well with the results obtained by a flame-photometric method (y = 1.04x - 0.22, r = 0.97, n = 81), with CVs ranging from 2 to 4%. We observed no interferences from lipemia, added bilirubin, or various electrolytes. We also evaluated the use of this reagent in a new automated blood analyzer developed by Abbott, a two-dimensional centrifugal system (Clin Chem 31:1457-1463, 1985). Potassium determined with this system (y) correlated well with results by flame photometry: y = 1.02x + 0.02 (r = 0.94, n = 168). With this system one can use whole-blood specimens in measuring potassium.

Abstract A simple colorimetric method for the determination of acetaminophen is described. The method is based on the measurement of a crimson complex formed when acetaminophen is treated with 10% sodium hydroxide solution at elevated temperature. Compounds such as phenacetin, aspirin, caffeine, oxyphenbutazone, barbiturates, hydantoins, and dextropropoxyphen which are present in various formulations containing acetaminophen do not interfere. The method is sensitive to concentrations as low as 25 μg acetaminophen/mL.

Abstract A direct colorimetric method is described for determination of hippuric acid in urine. Hippuric acid dissolved in pyridine—water (1:1) produces a color (Amax = 410 nm) when benzenesulfonyl chloride is added. With the method based on this color reaction, urinary hippuric acid follows the Beer-Lambert law up to 1 mg/ml.
