Honey sugar determination was performed by using a combination of two methods (Iverson & Bueno, 1981 and Pierce no. 16, 1990) with some modifications. The proposed by Pierce method no.16, has been designed to assist in the routine determination of sugars in food products and syrups. Sugars are treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and the resulting oximes are converted to trimethylsilyl ethers by direct silylation with TMS. The derivatives are then determined by gas-chromatography with flame ionization detector and sugar oxime-TMS derivatives are quantitative and reproducible. This reaction is fast and simple, the results are quantitatively reproducible and multiple peaks due to the tautomeric forms of reducing sugars, which produced by direct TMS derivatization, are eliminated. From the honey samples analyzed it has been determined that only fir-tree honey contains trisaccharides with higher percentages that of melezitose.

Abstract In this method for detection and quantification of volatile alcohols by capillary gas chromatography, the serum sample is deproteinized, then directly injected into the gas chromatograph with 1-propanol as the internal standard. The capillary column is a 30-m bonded methylsilicone-coated, fused-silica column. With helium as the carrier gas, the injector inlet is set at a split ratio of 1/30 and the average linear velocity in the column is 25 cm/s. Injector and flame-ionization detector temperatures are 280 degrees C, oven temperature 35 degrees C. Chromatography time is less than 3 min.

Dual Analysis

Abstract A simple, rapid procedure is described for measuring amphetamine and methamphetamine in urine by gas chromatography, with use of a flame ionization detector. This method is sensitive to subtherapeutic concentrations (0.1 µg/ml or less), and is especially useful in clinical situations where an accurate and quantitative result is needed in less than 30 min. With the method, amphetamine and methamphetamine can be determined as the free bases on a 10% Apiezon L-10% KOH column and as their trifluoroacetamide derivatives on a 3% OV-17 column. This dual analysis eliminates false positives and any interfering substances that may be present in the urine, and is thus a specific method for the two drugs.

Abstract Migration studies were conducted to determine the quantity of styrene that migrates from polymers into fatty foods, specifically margarine. Azeotropic distillation was used to isolate styrene from the margarine. Headspace gas chromatography with a Chromosorb 104 column and a flame ionization detector was used for quantitation. The quantitation limit for the method was about 25 ppb (wt/wt) styrene in margarine. On the average, greater than 90% of the styrene was recovered. Several commercial margarines were examined. The method and results of the migration studies are presented. There was no detectable migration of styrene into margarine.

Abstract Migration studies using coffee, tea, water, and 8% ethanol were conducted with various types of foodcontact polystyrene cups. Study conditions simulated filling and storage at room temperature and hot-filling or pasteurization above 150°F (65.6°C). The quantity of styrene migrating was determined by headspace sampling and gas chromatography (GC). The GC column was 6% Carbowax 20M on Chromosorb 101 with quantitation via a flame ionization detector. Detection limits ranged from 3 to 10 ppb in various liquids. The method and results of the migration studies are presented.
