A method for ester content determination in soybean methyl biodiesel was studied, using ethyl oleate as internal standard. A biodiesel sample was analyzed and had its purity estimated as 92.8%. Method accuracy was evaluated by comparison with the result obtained via EN14103, with a relative difference of 0.1%. Repetitivity and intermediate precision were estimated as 2 and 1.5%, respectively.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar uma alternativa para a quantificação simultânea de sulfatiazol, sulfametazina e sulfadimetoxina no leite, na forma de azoderivados, por meio de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE). O isolamento e concentração das sulfas foram conduzidos por extração em fase sólida (C18), com metanol como eluente. Após a extração, os analitos foram transformados em sais de diazônio e submetidos ao acoplamento com resorcinol. Os derivados foram separados e quantificados por CLAE (coluna C8, λ = 430 nm, MeOH/KH2PO4 aq.). Foram obtidas recuperações entre 65 e 78%.

The objective of this work was to evaluate an analytical method for the simultaneous measurement of sulfathiazole, sulfamethazine, and sulfadimethoxine in milk, in the form of azoderivatives, through the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The isolation and concentration of sulfas were carried out by solid phase extraction (C18) with methanol as eluent. After extraction, analytes were transformed in diazonium salts and coupled with resorcinol. Derivatives were quantified by HPLC (C8 column, λ = 430 nm, MeOH/KH2PO4 aq). Recoveries were obtainedbetween 65 and 78%.

A method for HPLC determination of sulfadimethoxyne in milk is presented. The analyte isolation and concentration were performed by solid-phase extraction through a C-8 cartridge, pre-conditioned with hexane, methanol and water and eluted with MeOH. The recovery determination was done with a spiked solution of 20, 50 or 100 µg L-1. In this concentration range, the recovery was 83.2% with a RDS of 15.4%. For quantification, a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8 (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 µm), a mobile phase of MeCN: 0.01 mol L-1 KH2PO4 aq. (1:4), and a variable wavelength detector (275 nm) were used.
