Fensulfothion (Dasanit®, 0,0-diethyl 0-[p-(methylsulfinyl) phenyl] phosphorothioate) degraded rapidly in a sandy loam soil to a moderately persistent metabolite fensulfothion sulfone (0,0-diethyl 0-[p-(methylsuffonyl) phenyl] phosphorothioate). Traces of fensulfothion sulfone were found in rutabagas (Brassica napobrassica Mill.) grown on fensulfothion-treated field plots, but were confined, for the most part, to the peel. The sulfone was detected in carrots at 0.10 ppm on a fresh weight basis. Fensulfothion sulfone persisted in frozen carrots (Daucus carota var. sativa DC.) during a storage period of 4 yr. A simplified gas–liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of fensulfothion and some of its metabolic products is described.

Leaching loss of nutrients hampers plant growth and contributes to environmental pollution. An experiment was conducted at the net house of Soil Science Department, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January to May 2009 to find out the leaching loss of N, P, K and S from sandy loam soil. Each pot received 6.67 kg dry soil with an opening at the bottom for collecting leachates. Six treatments were used: T0 = control, T1 = NPKS (120, 25, 60 and 20 kg ha-1), T2 = NPKS (180, 37, 90 and 30 kg ha-1), T3 = NPKS (90, 5, 28 and 17 kg ha-1) + cowdung (2.5 t ha-1), T4 = NPKS (109, 25, 60 and 20 kg ha-1, N as USG) and T5 = as T1 but N applied as foliar spray. Treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. Leachates were collected at 15 days interval for determination of NPKS. The total leaching loss of N, P, K and S due to different treatments ranged from 16.00 to 90.21, 0.07 to 0.29, 9.60 to 11.20 and 3.75 to 17.81 kg ha-1, respectively. Application of chemical fertilizer at higher rates resulted in greater loss of nutrients. Integrated fertilizer management with cowdung (T3) minimized such losses. Use of USG also reduced leaching loss of N, P, K and S. The application of cowdung and USG with recommended balanced fertilizer might be useful for minimizing N, P, K and S loss from wetland rice field.Bangladesh Rice j. 2016, 20(1): 59-64

Abstract Two procedures, one fluorometric and the other reverse phase liquid chromatographic, for determination of a derivative of diacetyl are described. Exploratory work on diacetyl standard solutions to establish the best conditions for the derivatization with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN) to yield 2,3-dimethylbenzo[g]-quinoxaline (DMBQ) is discussed, as well as the fluorescence characteristics of the DMBQ derivative. Diacetyl was determined in 10 commercial butter samples by the proposed procedures and by other known methods (determination of o-phenylenediamine and 3,3-diaminobenzidinederivatives). Recoveries from butter samples spiked with known amounts of diacetyl ranged from 96.9 to 101.8% (with CVs ranging from 0.3 to 2.1%) for the fluorometric procedure and from 96.9 to 102.7% (with CVs ranging from 0.5 to 2.4%) for the chromatographic procedure. These results agree well with those obtained with o-phenylenediamine and 3,3-diaminobenzidine methods on the same butter samples. The proposed methods have the advantages of improved detectability and specificity.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic procedure used to determine vitamin D2 in multiple vitamin tablets has been modified to make it applicable for analysis of multiple vitamin tablets containing minerals and vitamin E acetate. The procedure modifications involve pre-extraction with ether, solution in an alcoholic sulfuric acid-pyridine mixture, and column chromatographic separation on phosphate-treated alumina. The modified procedure has been statistically evaluated. A 2.2% coefficient of variation and 100.3% average recovery were obtained for the samples evaluated.

Abstract Cholesterol can be determined colorimetrically in dairy products at levels of ≥10 μg (coefficient of variation = 5.3%) with an o-phthalaldehyde reagent when non-cholesterol lipids arc eliminated prior to color development. Absorbance for 2 mg tripalmitin was found to be equivalent to about 20 μg cholesterol. Saponification followed by hexane extraction removed interfering lipids. Using the described procedure, 238 individual raw milk samples were found to contain 144.4±37.9 μg cholesterol/ml, while their skim milk portions had 26.5±6.4 μg cholesterol/ml (mean ± standard deviation). The o-phthalaldehyde cholesterol estimates agreed with those obtained by a gas-liquid chromatographic procedure when cheese and ice cream were analyzed by the colorimetric procedure with and without prior fat extraction.

Abstract Two colorimetric micromethods are described for the determination of atropine-hyoscyamine and hyoscine (scopolamine), using p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and citric acid-acetic anhydride as the color reagents. These methods are sensitive to 60-1200 and 10-360 μg alkaloid/10 ml. The colorimetric methods were also successfully applied after a preliminary thin layer chromatographic separation of the alkaloids. A gasliquid chromatographic procedure was also developed, which yielded comparable results with the colorimetric methods.

Abstract The validation of a liquid chromatographic procedure suitable for the determination of calcitriol and alfacalcidol in their respective formulations labeled to contain at least 0.25 μ.g drug per unit is described. The capsule content is diluted and chromatographed in 15-20 min on silica columns (5 μm) with a mobile phase of hexane-tetrahydrofuranmethylene dichloride-isopropanol (72 + 12 + 12 + 4, v/v) with detection at 254 nm. The calibration curve is linear. Recoveries of “spikes” averaged 101% with a standard deviation of 2%. Precision was better than 1.5%.

Abstract Presently, disulfram is used in aversion therapy for recovering alcoholics. It acts by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to high blood levels of acetaldehyde. A simple direct injection micellar liquid chromatographic procedure was developed to determine disulfram in illicit preparations (ayurvedic, herbal, divine ash, and traditional medicine), as well as inpharmaceuticals and biological samples (urine). After application of a predictive optimization strategy, the proposed method was developed using a 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulfate-butanol 4% (v/v) buffered to pH 7 as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, an octyl silyl (C8) 150 mm column, and diode array detection at 248 nm. Under the above conditions, the analysis time was below 8 min. Validation studies were based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The LOD (3 × SD criterion) was 15 ng/mL and LOQ (10 × SD criterion) was 70 ng/mL for disulfram. The intraday and interday precisions were below 3.5%, recoveries were in the range of 97–102%, and robustness was below 3%. The optimized and validated micellar liquid chromatographic method was successfully applied to the determination of disulfram in ayurvedic, herbal, divine ash, and other samples. The procedure developed could also be used in the felds of QC, routine analysis, and pharmacokinetic studies.
