Abstract Carotenoids and vitamins A and E in multivitamin tablets can be determined simultaneously by reversed-phased liquid chromatography (LC) with a programmable UV detector. Samples were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and thenextracted with hexane. A portion was injected onto a SymmetryC18,150 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm column and chroma tographed with a mobile phaseof acetonitrile–0.25% ammonium acetate in methanol and 0.05% triethylamine in dichloromethane. A step gradient was used. The system was operated at 25°C with a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. UV detection was at 325 nm for retinols, 285 nm for tocopherols, and 450 nm for carotenoids. Detection limits were less than 0.3 ng for retinol and retinyl acetate; 2 ng for α-tocopherol acid succinate; 10 ng for α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, and α-tocopherol acetate; and 0.4 ng for α-carotene and β-carotene. Intraday and interday coefficients of variation ranged from 1.40 to 5.20%. The sample preparation method and LC assay are practical for quality control and routine analysis of multivitamin tablets.

Abstract A rapid, simple, and accurate method for determination of furazolidone (FZ) in swine serum and avian egg using liquid chromatography (LC) with a 358 nm ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometric detector is described. After liquid–liquid extraction of sample with ethyl acetate using Extrelut-3, the extract is evaporated, redissolved in 40% acetonitrile, and injected directly into the chromatograph. The antibiotic can be analyzed within 30 min. Withinday recoveries for swine serum and avian egg spiked with FZ at 1 ppm were 90.0 and 88.1%, respectively, with coefficients of variation of 3.52 and 3.88%, respectively. Between days recoveries for the 1 ppm samples were 87.2 and 87.0%, with coefficients of variation of 3.10 and 4.29%, respectively. Determination of FZ also was performed by LC/mass spectrometry (MS) with an atmosphericpressure chemical-ionization interface (APCI) system. The LC/MS–APCI system is more applicable for qualitative analysis than quantitative analysis because the drug detection limit (about 0.1 μg/mL) is almost the same as that of the LC–UV detector.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method has been developed for the determination of acetic acid in vinegar and other foods. The LC system includes an Aminex HPX-87H column and a UV detector set at 210 nm. The mobile phase is 0.009N H2S04 at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The method is simple and specific for acetic acid. Recoveries of acetic acid from a variety of products ranged from 93.3 to 102% with coefficients of variation from 2.4 to 4.6%.

Abstract A method was developed for determining caffeine in decaffeinated coffee, tea, and beverage products by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC system consisted of a Bio-Sil ODS-5S C18 column, methanol-water (25 + 75) mobile phase at 1 mL/min, and a UV detector. The method is simple and specific. Caffeine recoveries were 93.8-98.3% and coefficients of variation were 0.90-2.25%.

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 Methapyrilene hydrochloride (MP·HCl) was extracted from feed with methanol and determined by reverse phase partition chromatography in less than 15 min, using isocratic elution with acetonitrile-1.1% ammonium carbonate (1 + 1) as the mobile phase. This procedure was tested on feed treated with MP·HCl at levels of 125,500, and 2000 ppm. Recoveries were 104,95, and 96% with coefficients of variation of 2.4,1.6, and 0.6%, respectively. MP·HCl in feed was stable for 14 days. This method was also successfully used to determine MP·HCl in 3 sleep aid tablets.

Abstract Reported here is a simple liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the i determination of riboflavin in milk (liquid, evaporated, and dry), yogurt, ' and cheese. The method involves passing liquid samples or filtrates of semisolid and solid samples through a Clg cartridge. Retained riboflavin is then eluted with an aliquot of 50% methanol in 0.02M acetate buffer of pH 4. A volume of the eluate is injected into the LC system | consisting of a CJ8 column, a solvent of water-methanol-acetic acid (65 + 35 + 0.1, v/v) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and a UV detector set at 270 nm. The method is precise and accurate and compares i favorably with the present AOAC method. Moreover, it involves fewer sample preparation steps and has a total analysis time of less than 1 h.

Abstract The gas-liquid chromatographic determination of tetradifon technical and formulations was collaboratively studied in duplicate with 12 laboratories. Six samples were dissolved in dichloroethane with n-hexacosane as the internal standard, chromatographed on a column of 3% SE-52, and detected by flame ionization. The average coefficients of variation were 1.2% for the 2 technical samples, 1.6% for the 2 wettable powders, and 1.5% for the 2 emulsifiable concentrates. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of triadimefon (Bayleton™) in triadimefon technical and formulated products has been developed and subjected to a collaborative study with 7 participating collaborators. Formulations were extracted with mobile solvent and analyzed by normal phase chromatography, with 4-chlorophenyl sulfoxide as an internal standard. Collaborators were furnished with standards and samples of technical products, 50% wettable powders, and 25% wettable powders for analysis. Coefficients of variation of the values obtained on these samples were 1.42, 0.82, and 1.05%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract An HPLC method is described for the detection of caramel color by measuring the level of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF). For the several products of caramelization examined, 5-HMF was the most sensitive indicator of the presence of caramel. The method specifies a reverse phase C18 column, a UV detector set at 277 nm, and a methanol-water gradient to separate 5-HMF from interfering substances. Other flavor compounds resolved by the same gradient are vanillin, ethyl vanillin, coumarin, benzaldehyde, caffeine, anethole, theobromine, and cinnamaldehyde.

Abstract A high pressure liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of amaranth (FD&C Red No. 2; Red No. 2) in licorice products. The Red No. 2 is extracted with a basic buffer solution, cleaned up on a Sep-Pak column, chromatographed on a reverse phase column in the ion pairing mode, and detected at 254 nm. The procedure is time-conservative with accurate and precise results. Recovery data ranged from 93 to 104%, and coefficients of variation were less than 4% for standards and samples.
