The sorbate content of commercial yogurt samples is determined by reverse phase liquid chromatography following ion-pair extraction with tri-n-octylamine. Mean recoveries (70-88%), precision (1.1-3.3% RSD), and detection limit of the method are presented for sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and saccharin.

The dynamics of single giant deoxyribonucleic acid (T4GT7DNA, 165 600 base pairs) molecules was examined near and at the toluene/water, toluene-trioctylamine mixtures/water, and trioctylamine/water interfaces by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The results were considerably affected by the trioctylamine content.

Synthetic dyes were extracted from yogurt by different methods, but all methods had in common a liberation of dyes from the food followed by ion-pair formation with tri-n-octylamine. Extraction with pH 5.5 phosphate buffer gave high recoveries for 5 of

Dyes are determined in gelatin-containing sweets. The gelatin must be eliminated first because it interferes with the normal ion-pair extraction of dyes with tri-n-octylamine to chloroform. Techniques such as precipitation of gelatin with organic solvents, and acid and enzymatic digestion
