Abstract A method has been developed for quantitative determination of cyclopiazonic acid, a mycotoxin produced by a common food contaminant, Penicillium cyclopium. The organism was grown successively in synthetic minimal medium, rice, corn, and wheat for 15 days. The toxin was extracted with chloroform followed by separation by thin layer chromatography. A colorimetric assay procedure has been successfully developed for the analysis of cyclopiazonic acid present in infected rice, corn, and wheat. The sensitivity of the method was tested by using recovery experiments.

1. Monosaccharides, amino sugars and N-acetylneuraminic acid were determined by using an original colorimetric assay procedure, based on the detection of formaldehyde released after periodate oxidation. A range of these compounds was investigated by this method and they were all found to obey Beer's law within the concentration range 0–0·6μmole/ml. 2. A simple method for the determination of 6-deoxyhexose concentration in the presence of other monosaccharides is also described. 3. The optimum pH for the release of formaldehyde from sugars by periodate oxidation was 7·0–7·5. 4. The methods described have considerable advantages over existing assay systems and their particlar value in automatic colorimetry, where the use of concentrated acids is undesirable, is discussed.

Abstract A simple rapid, and economical procedure is presented for the quantitative determination of acetaminophen in serum. Acetaminophen is extracted into solvent, and, when back-extracted into base, is simultaneously reacted with Folin-Ciocalteau reagent to form a colored complex. The potential interference of bilirubin is eliminated by treatment with p-diazobenzene sulfonic acid. Results obtained with this method agree with those obtained by "high-pressure" liquid chromatography.

Abstract The procedure described for the quantitative determination of tremortins in agricultural commodities involves extracting the agricultural commodity with chloroform-methanol (2 + 1), followed by thin layer chromatography and colorimetric assay. This procedure was successfully applied to the analysis of tremortin A added to grains and the production of tremortins A and B on various commodities.
