Abstract Ratios of lactulose/mannitol excretion in urine have been used to assess the extent of intestinal permeability in various disease and trauma conditions. Reported studies have used this technique to correlate altered gastrointestinal mucosal permeability to translocation of bacteria and endotoxin, leading to occult sepsis in burn patients. Enzymatic methods of analysis for urine concentrations of mannitol and lactulose were used in these studies. We have found that urine from patients with severe burns frequently contains compounds that interfere with the enzymatic methods. We describe using gas-liquid chromatography to determine mannitol and lactulose simultaneously in the urine of burn patients. To avoid the multiple peaks for the anomeric forms of the reducing sugars during precolumn trimethylsilyl derivatization, we converted the sugars to oximes before the silylation step. The method gave good recoveries of mannitol and lactulose added to burn patients' urine samples. Unlike the enzymatic methods, gas-liquid chromatography eliminates the effect of interfering compounds and allows for the simultaneous determination of both sugars in urine samples.

Abstract A rapid and specific method is given for determination of benzaldehyde in the presence of interfering substances by gas-liquid chromatography. Separation is effected on a ¼ column containing 2 5% Apiezon M as the liquid phase on a solid support of Chromoport XXX (60—80 mesh) at isothermal conditions, 100°C. The determination can be performed in the presence of benzoic acid and other interfering substances. Results are compared with those obtained by ultraviolet spectrophotometry on a variety of almond and cherry flavors.

1 A method for determining amphetamine and methylamphetamine in urine by gas-liquid chromatography is described. 2 Chromatography is performed on a 10% Apiezon L, 10% KOH column with alkali-flame detection (NPD). This method avoids the losses of these volatile substances which are known to occur when solvent extraction is used. An alkalinized urine sample (1 ml) is introduced into a sealed vial which is heated in a water bath at 70°C for 20 min. A 1 ml portion of the gas phase in equilibrium with the liquid phase is chromatographed. 3 Amphetamine and methylamphetamine can be detected and measured in urine samples after single therapeutic doses of the drugs.

Abstract A method was developed for the determination of fusel oil by gas-liquid chromatography. Separation is effected in a ¼” column containing 20% Ucon polar as the liquid phase, on a solid support of Gas Chrom P at isothermal condition 90° C. The method is simple and expeditious, and the amount of each component alcohol can be determined individually.

We report a quick method for the detection of cocaine and its major metabolites by thin-layer chromatography with confirmation by gas-liquid chromatography. Because it is possible to use the same chloroform-isopropanol extracts of urine in both procedures, the method is convenient for screening large numbers of urine samples.
