Abstract A new HPTLC-densitometric method for diosgenin determination in fenugreek seeds was established after optimization of the conditions for efficient saponin extraction and acid hydrolysis. Several procedures were tested, the best of which was a three-step Soxhlet extraction, followed by hydrolysis of the obtained methanolic extract with 2 mol L-1 H2SO4. Best diosgenin separation from other hydrolysis products was obtained on HPTLC Si60F254 plates u sing a mixture of n-heptane/ethyl acetate (7:3, V/V) and modified anisaldehyde as a spraying reagent. The method was preliminarily validated and the determined amounts of diosgenin in fenugreek seeds of Polish and African origin were found to be similar and ranged from 0.12-0.18 %.

We report here, the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate by using caustic soda which is followed by means of conductance measurements which is widely used in chemical industry. The main aim of this research is to study the parameters of production of ethyl acetate by chemical reaction kinetics using an anion ion-exchange acting as a catalyst and acid-base titrations. The reaction of ethyl acetate and sodium hydroxide (caustic-soda) is done in a plug-flow reactor (steady-state tubular reactor) under the effect of different parameters including temperature, concentration and flow-rate, which allows the determination of activation energy and rate constants, due to large number of experiments. Factorial design method is used for the calculations of the experiment. It was determined that the order of the reaction is a second-order reaction.

Assay of flavonoids in extracts of seven Thymus L. (Lamiaceae) species from Macedonia including identification and quantification was performed. Extracts obtained after hydrolysis of air dried samples (A1) were analyzed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Luteolin and apigenin were identified in comparison to authentic standard substances. The content of total flavonoids in plant samples determined by UV-Vis spectrometry (with AlCl3) ranged from 0.05-0.13 %. Two other extracts were prepared by extraction with a mixture of ethanol:water (7:3, V/V), evaporation until only water remained and extraction first with diethylether (A2) and secondly with ethyl acetate (A3). The content of flavonoids in diethyl-ether and ethyl acetate extracts ranged from 52.5-244.4 mg·ml-1 and 48.7 -117.5 mg·ml-1, respectively. For quantification of luteolin and total flavonoids the HPLC method was applied, using reverse phase column C18, mobile phase consisting of 5% acetic acid and methanol in gradient elution mode and column temperature set to 40 o C. The content of luteolin in the plant samples ranged from 0.23-0.48 % (m/m), while the content of total flavonoids was found to be 0.26-0.52 %.

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefadroxil and cephalexin with variamine blue is presented. The determination is based on the hydrolysis of β-lactam ring of cephalosporins with sodium hydroxide which subsequently reacts with iodate to liberate iodine in acidic medium. The liberated iodine oxidizes variamine blue to violet colored species of maximum absorption at 556 nm. The absorbance is measured within the pH range of 4.0-4.2. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.5-5.8 μg mL–1, 0.2-7.0 μg mL–1, 0.2-5.0 μg mL–1 and 0.5-8.5 μg mL–1 for cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefadroxil and cephalexin respectively. The analytical parameters were optimized and the method is successfully applied for the determination of cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefadroxil and cephalexin in pharmaceuticals.

An accurate and reliable method for the estimation of tryptophane is described. It is based on the glyoxylic acid reaction, and involves the use of the Evelyn photoelectric colorimeter. The technique makes it possible to ascertain readily whether the color being measured is due only to tryptophane.The method has been applied to casein, of which, if necessary, only 25 mg. is required. The tryptophane determination is readily accomplished on a solution obtained by dissolving the casein in 10 or 20% sodium hydroxide or 5% formic acid by heating for a few minutes. With respect to alkali hydrolysis of casein under pressure, tryptophane is unstable in the sodium hydroxide hydrolysis, but is very stable in the baryta hydrolysis. The age and source of the casein are shown to be factors causing variations in the tryptophane content of different samples of casein, a variability which has been observed by a few previous workers.

Surfactants can increase the low rate of heterogeneous liquid-liquid reactions involving partially miscible substrates through formation of micelles. This is a direct consequence of higher solubilization of substrates by micelles in reaction zones. In this case, rate enhancement of NaOH (base) catalyzed hydrolysis of ethyl acetate was studied. Micelles by cationic surfactant tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) made the rate enhancement. In the presence of NaOH, CMC (critical micellar concentration) of TTAB decreases from its original value and attains the value of 2.97 × 10-4 M. In the absence of TTAB, the second order rate constant increases linearly with temperature. The hydrolysis reaction follows second order kinetics at different temperatures in the presence of different concentrations of TTAB. For a particular temperature, on addition of TTAB beyond CMC, rate constant first increases sharply and then becomes almost constant. At TTAB concentration of 1.485 × 10-3 M, rate constant attains maximum value (2.65 times of rate constant without TTAB) and then it becomes almost constant. The applied model successfully explains change in rate constant due to incorporation of micelles by the addition of TTAB. This model involves certain assumptions like one substrate molecule is solubilized in one micelle; substrate molecule doesn't form a complex with monomer of surfactant; and no competitive inhibition occurs during reaction. Correlations between bulk phase rate constant (k0), micellar phase rate constant (km) and temperature (T) are incorporated into the model for this particular system.

A convenient and accurate procedure for determining the kinetic parameter Vmax./Km is described. This avoids the error in the usual method of taking the observed first-order rate constant of an enzymic reaction at low substrate concentration as Vmax./Km. A series of reactions is used in which the initial concentration of substrate is below Km (e.g. from 5% to 50% of Km). Measurements are taken over the same extent of reaction (e.g. 70%) for each member of the series, and treated as if the kinetics were truly first-order. The reciprocal of the observed first-order rate constant is then plotted against the initial concentration of substrate: the reciprocal of the ordinate intercept is Vmax./Km. The procedure, as well as being applicable to simple reactions, is shown to be valid when there is competitive inhibition by the product, or when the reaction is reversible, or when there is competitive or mixed inhibition. The hydrolysis of cephalosporin C by a beta-lactamase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is used to illustrate the method.
