Abstract We have investigated the specificity of the fluorometric method we proposed [Clin. Chem. 19, 710 (1973)] for plasma or serum 11-hydroxycorticosteroid determinations. The principal specific fluorogenic contaminants in the cortisol-containing extract of plasma, as detected by thin-layer chromatography and chemically, were triglycerides and total cholesterol. These contaminants contributed an average of 1.6 µg/dl to the total normal cortisol value. Fatty acids were also found, but did not fluoresce. Nonspecific serum fluorogens were quantitated at 1.3 ± 1.2 µg/dl. Cortisol, corticosterone, and fluorogenic contaminants represented an average of 62.0, 29.1, and 9.9%, respectively, of the total fluorometric plasma cortisol value obtained (expressed in terms of cortisol standard). A ratio of 8.3 ± 2.4 was found for cortisol/corticosterone when each component was determined in terms of its respective standard. Fluorescence scans of the plasma cortisol extract indicated cortisol to be the main component present, accompanied by minor fluorescent contaminants.

Abstract A method is presented for the detection of polysorbates (PSs) in 8 kinds of processed foods by colorimetric and thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) techniques. The PSs are extracted from processed foods with a mixture of methylene chloride and ethanol by using an Extrelut column. The extract is further purified by using a silica gel column. The PS extract is complexed with cobalt-thiocyanate (Cothiocyanate) reagent and is determined spectrophotometrically at 620 nm. The recoveries and coefficients of variation for 8 kinds of processed foods fortified with 0.1% PS 80 were 67.9-94.6% and 4.0- 11.3%, respectively. The detection limit of TLC corresponded to 50 mg PS 80/kg. PS identity was confirmed by infrared spectrophotometry of PS extract, and gas chromatography of fatty acids and thin layer chromatography of POE-sorbitan residues after saponification.
