Abstract A rapid method has been developed for determining the pungency of hot paprika. Paprika is extracted with ethyl acetate, and an ethyl acetate solution of vanadium oxytrichloride is added just before reading at 720 nm. The method is sensitive for small quantities, i.e., less than 0.05%, and it is not necessary to isolate and purify the capsaicin.

abstract A simple, sensitive, and rapid method for simultaneous determination of residues of flumequine and its microbiologically active metabolite 7-hydroxyflumequine in 100 mg sheep edible tissues (muscle, liver, kidney, and fat) by liquid chromatography is reported. After liquid-liquid cleanup with ethyl acetate, tissue extracts were injected onto a Select B column. The 2 compounds were determined by ultraviolet and fluorimetric detection. The method was repeatable and reproducible for flumequine and 7-hydroxyflumequine in muscle, liver, kidney, and fat, with limits of detection below 2 and 3 μg/kg for flumequine and 7-hydroxyflumequine, respectively. Mean recoveries for flumequine were 90 ± 7, 82 ± 7,89 ± 5, and 82 ± 6% in muscle, liver, kidney, and fat, respectively. Mean recoveries for 7-hydroxyflumequine were 91 ± 2, 90 ± 4, 86 ± 3, and 84 ± 4% in muscle, liver, kidney, and fat, respectively.

A simple and rapid method for determining mono-, di- and tri-isopropyl citrates in foods was developed. Isopropyl citrates in butter and milk powder were extracted with ethyl acetate under acid condition and in edible oil with hexane. The ethyl acetate containing isopropyl citrates was evaporated and the residue was taken up in hexane. The isopropyl citrates in hexane were extracted into acetonitrile. After evaporation of the solvent, isopropyl citrates were methylated with diazomethane, and they were determined by gas chromatography. Recoveries of mono-, di- and tri-isopropyl citrates from edible oil, butter and milk powder by this method were more than 92.9%, 95.7% and 94.8%, respectively. The detection limits of isopropyl citrates were 1 μg/g of sample.

The synthesis of 1,3,3-trimethyl-9′-acryloxyspiro[indoline-2,3′(3H)naphtho[2,1-b][l,4]-oxazine] (AISO) was carried out by catalytic esterification of 1,3,3-trimethyl-9′-hydroxyspiro-[indoline-2,3′(3H)naphtho[2,1-b][l,4]oxazine] (SO–OH) and acrylic acid in the presence of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Then, the synthesis of the target copolymer (NC-g-AISO) was was carried out by benzoyl peroxide (BPO)-induced graft copolymerization of the AISO monomer onto nitrocellulose (NC) in a homogeneous methyl isobutyl ketone medium. The structure of NC-g-AISO was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (IR) spectroscopy, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The photochromic properties of NC-g-AISO were investigated by examining UV–Vis spectra in ethyl acetate solution and solid membrane. Compared with the AISO monomer in ethyl acetate solution, the thermal color decay stability of the colored form of NC-g-AISO in ethyl acetate solution and in solid membrane improved significantly. The thermal color decay reaction rate constants in ethyl acetate solution and membrane at 25 °C were 1.77 × 10–2 and 1.36 × 10–3 s–1, respectively, fitted using the first-order reaction equation. After ten photochromic cycles, the relative absorption intensity of the colored form of NC-g-AISO decreased by 0.85%, indicating that the NC-g-AISO membrane has good reversible photochromic behavior.

Abstract A simple, accurate, and rapid method for the quantitative determination of ritodrine hydrochloride (RTH) and isoxsuprine hydrochloride (ISH) in both pure and dosage forms, is described. The method is based on the development of pink colored product as a result of the condensation of 4-aminoantipyrine with phenols in the presence of an alkaline oxidizing agent. The resulting products are measured at 510 nm for both drugs, with molar absorptivities of 0.98 × 104 and 1.20 × 104 L/mol·cm for RTH and ISH, respectively. A study of the effect of commonly associated excipients revealed that they did not cause interference.

Abstract A spectrophotometric method for the determination of cyclamate was collaboratively studied in 9 laboratories. Ethyl acetate is added to extract cyclamate from acidic aqueous solution into water, and the cyclamate is then quantitatively converted to /V,./V-dichlorocyclohexylamine by adding excess hypochlorite. A',A'-Dichlorocyclohexylamine is determined by measuring its UV absorption at 314 nm. Six samples, 3 soft drinks with cyclamate levels of 0.36-0.47 g/kg and 3 jams with levels of 1.23-1.50 g/kg, were included in the study. Average recoveries of cyclamate were 99.7% in the soft drinks and 103.8% in the jams. Reproducibility coefficients of variation were 6.7% for the soft drinks and 4.4% for the jams.
