Borax, in illictic additive substance, is added on certain food product as a e preservative and rubbery. Therefore, the determination of borax in the food product such as meatball is very impotant in view of meatball is a food product often consumed by community. Vis- Spectrophotometric method with curcumine 0.125% as a reagent and glacial acetic acid-sulphuric acid has been used for determination of borax in this research. Curcumin reagent was selected because sensitivity of the method and the reproducibility of the results are affected by quality of the reagent other than rigorous observance of the reaction conditions (temperature, time, reagent quantities). Glacial acetic acid- sulphuric acid was used to create acid condition, so that curcumin and boron form a violetred 2:1 complex called rosocyanin. The optimum result was obtained when 1/. ml solution of 0.125% curcuumin and 1.0 ml concentrated sulphuric acid were added and the absorbance was measured after 70 minutes at 547 nm. The results showed linear regression y = 1.3127x – 0.0994, r = 0.9690 > r table (n = 5) is 0.878 and p = 0.007 (p< 0.01) and Vxo is was 15,53%. The detection limit and quantitation limit were 9.7.10-4 ppm and 2.94. 10-3 ppm respectively. The recovery and coefficient variation were 47.56%±3,92%. Determination of borax in three meatball samples which were taken from a location in Surabaya showed that the sample contained borax with concentration of 0.0205; 0.0151; 0.0210 (% w/w) respectively.

Isoamyl acetate was synthesized from isoamylol and glacial acetic acid with strong acidic cation exchanger as catalyst. The effects of reaction conditions such as acid-alcohol ratio, reaction time, catalyst dosage to esterification reaction have been investigated and the optimum reaction conditions can be concluded as: the molar ratio of acetic acid to isoamylol 0.8:1, reaction time 2h, 25 % of catalyst (quality of acetic acid as benchmark). The conversion rate can reach up to 75.46%. The catalytic ability didn’t reduce significantly after reusing 10 times and the results showed that the catalyst exhibited preferably catalytic activity and reusability.

Abstract Chlorophacinone and diphacinone are extracted at the 0.005% level from grain or paraffinized baits with glacial acetic acid. The target concentration is 0.01 mg/mL. The filtered supernate is chromatographed on a Partisil PXS ODS10/25 liquid chromatography column with premixed and degassed glacial acetic acid-tetrahydrofuran-water (14 + 2 + 9) and detected at 288 nm. The concentration is calculated by using an external standard. The recovery from spiked samples averaged 96.6% for both analytes. The response is linear from 0.001 to 0.040 mg/mL. The coefficient of variation of within-day replicates ranged from 1.1 to 2.5%.

The optical rotation of various concentrations of L-valine and L-leucine, dissolved in glacial acetic acid, or 5 or 6 M HCl, was measured with a photoelectric polarimeter at the nominal wavelengths 589, 578, 546, 436, and 365 nm and temperatures of 20, 25, and 30 °C. The specific rotation for any one wavelength, solute, and solvent could be defined by the equation [α]λT = A(1 + D(T − 25)) + BC, where T is temperature in °C, C is concentration in grams of solute per 100 ml of solution, and A, B, and D are constants. The best fit values of the constants were determined by computer calculation and are listed. Constants are also given for calculating a specific rotation based on grams of solute per 100 g of solution.

In 1874 Adamkiewicz* described the now familiar reaction which results in the production of a violet colour when strong sulphuric acid is added to the solution of a proteid in glacial acetic acid. Adam­kiewicz did not apparently look upon the employment of the acetic acid as introducing anything beyond a certain modification of the action of sulphuric acid.
