The analytical method for gas chromatography of trimethylsilyl derivatives of the water-surfactant-soluble components and/or natural contaminants of cotton fibers was refined and utilized. Results of this semiquantitative method support the findings that content of reducing sugars is correlated with “stickiness” of cotton, and that growing conditions, processing history, and maturity of cotton directly affect the components present and their concentrations.

AbstractA qualitative and quantitative procedure has been developed for the determination of humectants in manufactured tobacco by gas-chromatographic method with a flame ionization detector. It consists of extraction with methanol, concentration of the extract and treatment with Tri-Sil reagents. The operating gas-chromatographic conditions are set forth. Samples of tobacco containing glycerine, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1-3 butylene glycol and sorbitol have been analysed with recoveries, for the first five ones, in the range of 95-104 %. In order to verify that each chromatographic peak corresponded to the relative glycol, with no interference by other silylated compounds, the mass spectra were obtained through the combination of gas-chromatography with mass spectrometry. The results achieved confirm, as far as tobacco is concerned, that the procedure is accurate and precise. The same method for the determination of humectants was extended to cigarette smoke. Even though this involves morecomplicated problems, as compared to tobacco, because of the presence of silylated compounds, it was found that, for certain glycols, the gas-chromatography of the trimethyl derivatives can be also used as a method of analysis. The mass spectra of some polyhydric alcohols are shown

Amines produced by 31 strains of the Clostridium bifermentans and C. sordellii groups were compared by examining trifluoroaceticanhydride derivatives of basic chloroform extracts from spent cultural medium by gas–liquid chromatography (g.l.c.). All of the urease-positive strains (16) exhibited an amine profile consistent with that of C. sordellii. On the other hand, 12 of 15 urease-negative strains produced amine g.l.c. patterns like that of C. bifermentans, and three strains produced amine patterns identical with that of C. sordellii. The carbohydrate composition of some of the strains was determined by g.l.c. of trimethylsilyl derivatives of acid-digested formamide extracts of whole cells. Two of the three urease-negative strains with amine profiles like C. sordellii had a carbohydrate composition similar to that of C. sordellii, and the other strain had a carbohydrate profile more like that of C. bifermentans. One known strain of C. bifermentans had a carbohydrate profile with characteristics of both C. bifermentans and C. sordellii. The results of this study point out the variability of urease production by C. sordellii and the value of gas chromatography in differentiating this organism from C. bifermentans.

A method for analysis of low concentrations of phenols, cresols, and xylenols in water samples was developed. O-xylene was added to the sample as an internal standard and the sample was extracted once with chloroform to remove a portion of the total organic material present. The trimethylsilyl derivatives of the phenols were formed and analysis completed by gas chromatography. The method was rapid and required a minimum of sample manipulation. The lower limit of detection was 0.100 mg/liter for phenol, 0.025 mg/liter for cresols, and 0.050 mg/liter for xylenols.

To confirm the role of glycosides in the taxonomy of Frankia, 79 strains initially isolated from Alnus spp., Myrica spp., Comptonia sp., Elaeagnus spp., Shepherdia spp., and Hippophaë sp. host plants were tested for relative sugar content after 2 and 8 weeks of growth. Gas chromatography was used to separate the trimethylsilyl derivatives of sugars present in whole-cell hydrolysates of the Frankia strains; six sugars were quantitatively analyzed including 2-O-methyl-D-mannose, a sugar ubiquitous in the genus Frankia. The separation of the Frankia strains into their appropriate host specificity group (Alnus or Elaeagnus), based only on the sugar content, was achieved using statistical analyses of observations at 2 and 8 weeks. All statistical analyses correlated together and showed a significant separation between both host specificity groups. 2-O-Methyl-D-mannose, the concentration of which varied greatly between the Alnus and Elaeagnus host specificity groups, was the most discriminant sugar. Moreover, it was constant at both ages. From discriminant analysis, the separation of the various Frankia strains tested into their respective host specificity group was more precise at 2 weeks with a classification success of 97%, as compared with 78% at 8 weeks. The Myrica gale isolates that nodulated host plants from both host specificity groups were generally intermediate in their sugar content between the Alnus and Elaeagnus host specificity groups.
