Abstract A gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for quantitation of acephate (Orthene) in technical material and soluble powder formulations. Acephate is an organophosphate with broad spectrum contact and systemic insecticidal properties. Fourteen collaborators from 8 countries participated in a collaborative study of the method. Collaborators were provided with the method; samples of technical acephate and formulated soluble powder containing 95-99% and 71-75% acephate, respectively; an acephate reference standard; and internal standard. Samples were weighed, diluted to volume with internal standard, and quantitated by using GC peak area ratios. Relative standard deviation values for reproducibility (RSDR) were 1.03-2.55 for 95-99% technical acephate and 1.36-2.73 for formulated soluble powder containing 71-75% acephate. The GC method for determination of acephate in technical material and soluble powder formulations has been adopted by AOAC INTERNATIONAL

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method has been developed that is precise, rapid, simple, and specific for fluchloralin in emulsifiable liquid formulation. Sample and reference standard are weighed, internal standard solution is added, and an aliquot of the mixture is injected onto the chromatographic column. Fluchloralin gives a sharp symmetrical peak at about 5.4 min. The internal standard has a broader symmetrical peak at about 6.9 min. The relative standard deviation for 21 consecutive injections of the standard solution was 0.3773%. The method was compared with the official GLC method, 6.210–6.215, for the structurally similar trifluralin. Fluchloralin gave a sharp symmetrical peak at about 8.5 min; the internal standard had a sharp symmetrical peak at about 9.2 min. The relative standard deviation of 21 consecutive injections of reference standard solution was 0.6988%. Comparison of the variances of the 2 methods by the F-test at the 99% confidence level showed that the proposed method demonstrated substantially better precision.

Abstract Results from 8 laboratories are presented for the collaborative study of a proposed method for quantitative liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of lactose purity. Each laboratory was provided with 10 blind duplicate, edible-grade lactose samples plus a lactose reference standard and a fructose internal standard. Testing required the comparison of aqueous 2% lactose sample solution against a reference standard of equal concentration and quantitation by using a fructose internal standard. The LC system specified an isocratic acetonitrilewater (80 + 20) mobile phase, flow rate 2.0 mL/min, and chromatographic separation on a carbohydrate column. Compounds were detected by using refractive index. Statistical analysis for all study data indicates excellent between-laboratory precision with a coefficient of variation (CV) range of 0.53-1.37% and an overall average of 0.977%. Statistical analysis after excluding outliers showed equally good repeatability and reproducibility of less than 1 % and 1.5% CV, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract The determination of bromoxynil octanoate by a gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method with di-n-butylphthalate as internal standard was subjected to testing by 10 collaborators. The standard deviation for bromoxynil octanoate and bromoxynil octanoate-MCPA (2-methyI- 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) ester formulations averaged 0.6%. While the deviation indicates that the method is statistically sound, the results were dependent upon the efficiency of the GLC column. Therefore, it is recommended that the method be subjected to continued study to further determine the GLC conditions necessary for improved method reliability.

Abstract The assay of bromoxynil octanoate by a gasliquid chromatographic (GLC) procedure with din-n-butylphthalate as the internal standard was previously subjected to collaboration. The method had a standard deviation of 0.6% but results varied according to the complexity of the formulaation being tested. To reduce the systematic errors of the method, the internal standard was changed to n-docosane. The change in elution time of the marker simplified the chromatogram and reduced the standard deviation of the study to 0.3%. The revised method has been adopted as official first action for determining bromoxynil octanoate.

Abstract The classic method for determination of milk casein is based on precipitation of casein at pH 4.6. Precipitated milk casein is removed by filtration and the nitrogen content of either the precipitate (direct casein method) or filtrate (noncasein nitrogen; NCN) is determined by Kjeldahl analysis. For the indirect casein method, milk total nitrogen (TN; Method 991.20) is also determined and casein is calculated as TN minus NCN. Ten laboratories tested 9 pairs of blind duplicate raw milk materials with a casein range of 2.42- 3.05℅ by both the direct and indirect casein methods. Statistical performance expressed in protein equivalents (nitrogen ⨯ 6.38) with invalid and outlier data removed was as follows: NCN method (wt%), mean = 0.762, sr = 0.010, SR = 0.016, repeatability relative standard deviation (RSDr) = 1.287℅, reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSDR) = 2.146%; indirect casein method (wt℅), mean = 2.585, repeatability = 0.015, reproducibility = 0.022, RSDr = 0.560℅, RSDR = 0.841; direct casein method (wt℅), mean = 2.575, sr = 0.015, sR = 0.025, RSDr = 0.597℅, RSDR = 0.988℅. Method performance was acceptable and comparable to similar Kjeldahl methods for determining nitrogen content of milk (Methods 991.20, 991.21,991.22, 991.23). The direct casein, indirect casein, and noncasein nitrogen methods have been adopted by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract An interlaboratory study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a headspace gas chromatography (GC) method for the determination of 1,3-dichloro-propan-2-ol (1,3-DCP) in soy sauce and related products at levels above 5 ng/g. The test portion is mixed with an internal standard (d5-1,3-DCP) and ammonium sulfate in a sealed headspace vial. After achieving equilibrium, the headspace is sampled either by gas-tight syringe or solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by GC with mass spectrometric detection. 1,3-DCP is detected in the selected-ion mode (monitoring m/z 79 and 81 for 1,3-DCP and m/z 82 for the deuterated internal standard) and quantified by measurement against standards. Test materials comprising soy, dark soy, mushroom soy, and teriyaki sauces, both spiked and naturally contaminated, were sent to 9 laboratories in Europe, Japan, and the United States; of these, 5 used SPME and 4 used syringe headspace analysis. Test portions were spiked at 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 100.0, and 500.0 ng/g. The average recovery for spiked blank samples was 108% (ranging from 96–130%). Based on results for spiked samples (blind pairs at 5, 10, 20, 100, and 500 ng/g) as well as a naturally contaminated sample (split-level pair at 27 and 29 ng/g), the relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 2.9–23.2%. The relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR) ranged from 20.9–35.3%, and HorRat values of between 1.0 and 1.6 were obtained.

Abstract A new method for determination of glyphosate and amlnomethylphosphonlc acid (AMPA) residues In environmental water was collaboratively studied by 6 laboratories. The method Is simpler and shorter than previous methods. A filtered volume of water is evaporated to dryness and the residue Is dissolved In a buffered EDTA solution. Glyphosate and AMPA are determined by liquid chromatography with postcolumn reaction detection. The method was validated over the range 0.50-5000 ppb, although one of the collaborating laboratories could not reliably quantltate below 1.0 ppb. Statistical analysis of the results showed that typical reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDR) ranged from 11 to 20% for both glyphosate and AMPA, which compares very well with predicted values for this concentration range. Total variability (as measured by sR) Increased with increasing fortification level. The method has been adopted official first action by AOAC.

Abstract Diclazuril, Janssen Research Compound R 64433 (Clinacox), is analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC). Compound R 062646, with a structure analogous to that of diclazuril, is used as internal standard. The drug is extracted from feed with acidified methanol. Diclazuril is then isolated by solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a cartridge containing a C18 phase. The eluate is evaporated, and the residue is redissolved in dimethylformamide. An aliquot is injected onto a reversed-phase ODS LC column, and the drug quantitated at 280 nm with a UV detector. Peak areas are obtained at the retention times corresponding to the internal standard and diclazuril. The quantity of active ingredient is determined by comparing the ratio of the peak height of diclazuril to that of internal standard in the sample with the same ratio in a single calibration solution. SPE is not necessary for the analysis of premixes. Eleven laboratories participated in the collaborative study. Laboratories were provided with 2 samples of premixes and 3 samples of feed for poultry. Feed sample K1 was sent to only 6 laboratories. The reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDRS) were 7.38 and 7.53% for the 2 premixes and 9.67,13.65, and 18.61% for the 3 samples of supplemented feed.

Abstract The distillation-spectrophotometric method of Hoffman for determining maleic hydrazide has been modified to include a double distillation and was applied to the determination of 1–30 ppm maleic hydrazide residues in tobacco and vegetables. Recoveries of 1–23 μg added maleic hydrazide were independent of weight of maleic hydrazide, but did depend on sample and sample weight. The following recoveries were obtained from 0.5 g sample: pipe tobacco, 84%; commercially dehydrated potato, 83%; cigar tobacco, 81%; dried potato, 76%; fluecured tobacco, 73%; dried carrot, 71%. In the absence of sample, the recovery was 82%. When appropriate standard curves were used, maleic hydrazide levels determined in tobacco samples were essentially independent of sample weight in the range 0.1–3 g. The mean relative standard deviation for a variety of field-treated and fortified tobacco samples containing 1–28 ppm maleic hydrazide was 3%. The precision and sensitivity of this procedure seem to be substantial improvements over official method 29.111–29.117. It is recommended that the present method be subjected to a collaborative study.
