Chitosan Capped Silver Nanoparticles as Colorimetric Sensor for the Determination of Iron(III)
A selective, simple and low-cost method for the colorimetric determination of Fe3+ ions based on chitosan capped silver nanoparticles (Chit-AgNPs) was presented. Chitosan is a cationic polyelectrolyte and possesses amino and hydroxy groups which make it widely used as a capping agent for Ag NPs. The synthesized chitosan capped silver nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability were charact...
متن کاملNew Enzymatic Colorimetric Method for the Quantitative Determination of Phenylalanine in Dry-Blood Spots
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by severe mental retardation, microcephaly and seizures. The symptoms of this disease can be prevented if detected soon after birth. Therefore, blood Phenylalanine (Phe) measurement is essential for the early diagnosis, treatment and dietary monitoring of PKU patients. The goal of this research was to introduce a r...
متن کاملThe colorimetric estimation of alpha-amino nitrogen in tissue fluids.
Various authors have reported methods for the colorimetric estimation of alpha-amino nitrogen with ninhydrin (Moore and Stein, 1948, 1954; Smith and Agiza, 1951 ; Troll and Cannan, 1953; Yemm and Cocking, 1955; Kalant, 1956; Rosen, 1957). Only Kalant has applied this method to the direct measurement of alpha-amino nitrogen in biological fluids; he reported on the determination of total alpha-am...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric method for the direct determination of cysteine in the presence of other naturally occurring amino acids.
1. An acid ninhydrin reagent was found to react specifically in forming a pink product (E(max.) 560mmu) with cysteine. 2. The method was highly sensitive for the determination of cysteine (in 28.0x10(3)). Homocysteine, glutathione, proline, ornithine and other naturally occurring amino acids tested did not give a similar reaction. 3. The reaction product was stable for at least 3-4hr. at room t...
متن کاملQuantitative determination of the free amino acids and their derivatives in the common edible mushroom, Agaricus bisporus.
Nitrogen in the ethanol extract of the fruiting bodies of the common edible mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, accounted for about 60% of the total nitrogen of the fruiting bodies, and about 70% of the ethanol-extractable nitrogen was attributable to the free amino acids and their derivatives. Identification and quantitative determination of the free amino acids and their derivatives contained in thi...
