ABSTRACT To evaluate the denitrification abilities of many Bradyrhizobium field isolates, we developed a new 15N-labeled N2 detection methodology, which is free from interference from atmospheric N2 contamination. 30N2 (15N15N) and 29N2 (15N14N) were detected as an apparent peak by a gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal conductivity detector with N2 gas having natural abundance of 15N (0.366 atom%) as a carrier gas. The detection limit was 0.04% 30N2, and the linearity extended at least to 40% 30N2. When Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 was grown in cultures anaerobically with 15NO3 −, denitrification product (30N2) was detected stoichiometrically. A total of 65 isolates of soybean bradyrhizobia from two field sites in Japan were assayed by this method. The denitrification abilities were partly correlated with filed sites, Bradyrhizobium species, and the hup genotype.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method has heen developed for analysis of ethyl O,O-dimethyldithiophosphoryl- 1-phenyl acetate. The insecticide or a convenient amount of an insecticidal preparation is dissolved in toluene, together with a suitable internal standard, and analyzed by gas chromatography, using a thermal conductivity detector. The precision (P = 0.05) of the method is ±1.5% of the concentration found.

A gas chromatographic procedure for measuring water in fermented feeds was developed and evaluated. The method involves extracting the water with alcohol followed by the separation of the water and alcohol with a Porapak QS column in a gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. Linear responses were obtained when the ratios of the peak area of water to alcohol were plotted against the weight ratios of water to alcohol (mg/g). The method has the advantage of being very fast, and is as accurate as a chemical method used for water determination.

A simple and accurate method for determination of propionic acid and sodium and calcium propionate was developed. These compounds were simultaneously extracted with ethyl acetate made acidic with phosphoric acid. The extract was injected directly into the gas chromatograph. Calibration curves of the three compounds ranged from 25–125mu;g/ml. The detection limit of these compounds were 25 ppm by this method. Commercial biscuits, breads and cakes were analyzed by this method and all of them contained less than the limit permitted by Thai regulations.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method has been developed for the analysis of O,O-diethyl S-(N-isopropylcarbamoylmethyl) phosphorothiolothionate . The acaricide or a convenient amount of an acaricidal preparation is dissolved in xylene, together with malathion as an internal standard, and analyzed by gas chromatography, using a thermal conductivity detector. The precision (P = 0.05) of the method is ±1.5% of the concentration level.

Abstract A gas chromatographic procedure is described for determining monosodium glutamate (MSG) in several types of food. A sample is extracted with acetone- water (1 + 1). Acetone is evaporated and an aliquot of the extract is buffered with 1M NH4OH-1M NH4CI pH 9 solution, and chromatographed directly on a column of QAE Sephadex A-25 that has been pretreated with the same buffer. MSG is eluted with 0.1N HC1, and a portion of the eluate is evaporated to dryness and reacted with dimethylformamide( DMF)-dimethylacetal to form the glutamic acid derivative, which is injected into a gas chromatograph and measured by flame ionization detection. Recoveries of MSG from sample fortified at 5-500 mg ranged from 92.8 to 100%.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the quantitative determination of sulfamoyldapsone (2-sulfamoyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) in swine muscle, liver, kidney, and fat. Sulfamoyldapsone was extracted from tissues with acetonitrile saturated with n-hexane. The extract was washed with n-hexane saturated with acetonitrile, concentrated, and cleaned up by alumina column chromatography. Sulfamoyldapsone was separated on an ODS column by using acetonitrile-methanol-water (6 + 18 + 76) and was detected at 292 nm. Overall average recovery of sulfamoyldapsone added to tissues at levels of 0.1 and 0.5 /μg/g was 93.3% ± 6.0. Detection limit was 0.02 μg/g in these tissues.
