The liquid-phase microextraction based on solidification of floating organic microdrop coupled with UV-visible spectrophotometer for preconcentration and determination of lead in the aqueous samples has been developed. In this technique, 20μL of 1-undecanol containing dithizone as the chelating agent (10-3mol L-1) was transferred to the water samples containing lead ions, and the solution was stirred for 25 min. The sample vial was cooled in an ice bath for 5 min. The solidified extract was transferred into a conical vial where it melted immediately, and then the organic phase was analyzed by Nanodrop spectrophotometer. Factors that influence the extraction and complex formation, such as pH, concentration of dithizone, extraction time, effect of ionic strenght, temperature and stirring rate were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, a preconcentration factor of 356, detection limit of 0.006 μgL-1, limit of quantification 0.018 μgL-1and a good relative standard deviation of 2.1% were obtained. The procedure was applied to sea water, mineral water and well water.

South Konawe District at Southeast Sulawesi Province is a producer of agriculture such as Papaya fruit ranging from 1168 quintals each year. Papaya fruit contains β-carotene which plays an important role in the formation of vitamin A in the body. This research was conducted to determine the β-carotene content of papaya fruit by using variables planting method, fruitage, and fruit condition. The mashed fruit was extracted using n-hexane: acetone: ethanol (2: 1: 1) v/v, then separated from polar and non-polar solutions. Qualitative analysis was carried out using the Carr-Price method and quantitative analysis or determination of β-carotene levels using the UV-Visible spectrophotometric method λ = 452.0 nm. The qualitative test results showed that the papaya fruit in the papaya fruit obtained by cultivation and growing wild with each variable half-ripe, ripe, and not fresh papaya identified the presence of β-carotene. The results of quantitative analysis of β-carotene levels in cultivated papaya fruit were 1.76 μL, half-ripe 1.32 μL, and cultivated young papaya 1.22 μL. In wild ripe papaya 1.75 μL, wild half-ripe papaya 1.3 μL and wild young papaya 1.21 μL. There is an effect of each test parameter starting from the parameters of planting method, fruitage, and fruit condition on β-carotene content in papaya fruit.

Abstract Two sample preparation procedures for determination of total β-carotene and (all-)-β-carotene were tested in a collaborative study involving 14 laboratories and using 4 commercial products containing supplemented or natural β-carotene. One assay used classical sample preparation, consisting of saponification, extraction, washing, and drying ofthe extract and redissolution of residue for liquid chromatography (LC). The other assay used simple extraction without saponification. LC conditions were left for the analysts to decide as long as aclear separation of lycopene and ϑ-carotene from Bcarotene was achieved. Mean contents of test samples ranged from 0.3 to 18 mg/100 g for total β-carotene and from 0.2 to 16 mg/100 g for (all-)-β-carotene. Repeatability relative standard deviations (RSDr)for total B-carotene ranged from 2.9 to 5.6% and relative reproducibility standard deviation (RSDR) ranged from 6.5 to 15%. Corresponding values for(all-)-β-carotene were 3.3-5.1 % for RSDr and 8.4- 14% for RSDR. Excluding the (Z)-isomers from uantitation of β-carotene can result in significant underestimation of the effective β-carotene content especially if the LC systems used is high quality.

Abstract Background Chlorthalidone is a diuretic medicinal agent used to treat hypertension. Lowering hypertension results in the prevention of strokes, heart attacks and kidney-related problems. Results In this work, the spectrophotometric investigation was employed to examine the reaction between chlorthalidone and 1, 2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate. A reaction is performed at the alkaline environment (pH 9.2) and heated at a moderate temperature of 60 ± 1 °C using a water bath. The red colour product was produced, and it displayed a maximum absorbance at 440.50 nm. Further, the advancement of response conditions was explored by UV/visible spectrophotometer. The stoichiometric of the reaction was considered by using Job’s plot and the reaction mechanism of the proposed work was drawn. The established approach obeyed the calibration curve in the concentration range of 2–12 μg/mL with a regression coefficient superior to 0.994. The accuracy of the method, assessed by employing the % recovery, was in the range of 99.06–99.60% with the % relative standard deviation being less than 2%. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.58 μg/mL and 1.72 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion A UV/visible spectrophotometric investigation for the analysis of the chlorthalidone in the tablet matrix was successfully established and validated. The established investigation was found to be simple and accurate, and because of its ease of use, the proposed strategy could be applied for quality control investigation of chlorthalidone in pharmaceutical matrices.
