This paper describes a quantitative reflectance spot test procedure for the determination of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the reaction of salicylic acid, obtained from the hydrolysis of ASA, with Fe(III) forming a deep blue-violet compound. Medicines containing ASA can be easily analyzed by the proposed method as it is not necessary to do any separation. The ...
In this article are described and compared two spectrophotometric methods for the analysis of catechol (o-hydroxyphenol) in Paullinea cupana var. sorbilis, popularly known as guaraná. The pounded seed samples were extracted with ethanol 97% v/v and the solutions were treated with p-aminophenol in alkaline ethanolic medium or m-aminophenol and sodium metaperiodate in buffered aqueous solution (pH 3.0). The absor...
