Abstract A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method involving precolumn derivatization with phenylisothiocyanate (PITC) was developed for determining levels of hypoglycin A (HG-A) in canned ackee fruit samples. HG-A was extracted by homogenizing the drained fruit in 80% ethanol. By using a Waters Pico-Tag amino acid analysis 15-cm-long column (which is also used for analyzing protein hydrolysates and biological samples) and an LC system, the baseline separation of HG-A from other amino acids was completed in about 6 min. The total time for analysis and equilibration was 16 min. HG-A levels in the edible portion of fruit in 18 cans varied from 18.27 to 87.50 mg HG-A/can. Recoveries of added standard HG-A averaged 101%. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of this method to determine HG-A in ackee fruit.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of the essential nutrient thiamine (vitamin Bi) in rodent feed. Thiamine was extracted with hydrochloric acid, separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography, derivatized postcolumn to thiochrome with potassium hydroxide and potassium ferricyanide, and detected by fluorescence. Excitation and emission wavelengths were 370 and 430 nm, respectively. Detector response was linear in the range of 2.58 to 15.5 ng of thiamine injected. Instrument detection limit was 5 pg of thiamine injected.

Abstract A method is described for the determination of the intermediates and a related impurity in D&C Red No. 36 by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This method may be used to ensure that limits set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations on the amounts of these 3 impurities in the color are not exceeded. The pigment is dissolved in boiling dioxane and then precipitated. The filtrate is chromatographed by isocratic elution, and then the column is washed and reequilibrated. Impurities were identified as 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (2-CI-4-NA), 2-naphthol, and 2,4-dinitroaniline (2,4-DNA) by comparison of their retention times and spectra with those of standards. Peak area calibrations were linear to at least 0.375% 2-CI-4-NA, 1.25% 2-naphthol, and 0.025% 2,4-DNA, all with zero intercepts. At the specification levels, 99% confidence limits were 0.30 ± 0.006% for 2-CI-4-NA, 1.0 ± 0.03% for 2-naphthol, and 0.020 ± 0.0004% for 2,4-DNA. The limits of determination calculated from calibration data were 0.019% for 2-CI-4-NA, 0.10% for 2-naphthol, and 0.0014% for 2,4-DNA at the 99% confidence level. Recoveries were 100-104% for 2-CI-4-NA added to purified D&C Red No. 36,100% for 2-naphthol, and 100-110% for 2,4-DNA; relative standard deviations were 0.8-3.4%. A survey of certified D&C Red No. 36 samples showed that the batches contained higher levels of intermediates than were determined previously by a cellulose column method in which the pigment was not dissolved.
