چکیده

A simple, automated colorimetric method for determining oxalic acid in plant material is based on the quantitative reduction in colour of a zirconium/3,4-dihydroxyazobenzene-2'-carboxylic.acid complex by microgram quantities of oxaIic acid. I t is suitable for use over a wide range of oxalic acid concentrations. Interference from phosphate, sulphate, citric acid and malic acid was encountered but by appropriate sample dilution this problem was resolved.

Microwave-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of WO3 Nanoparticles: Optical and Colorimetric Characteristics

Tungsten oxide (WO3) and tungsten oxide hydrate (WO3.H2O) nanoparticles were synthesized via microwave-assisted solution combustion in comparison with the acidic precipitation method. Oxalic acid was used as a surfactant and forming agent in the acidic precipitation method. In addition to oxalic acid, glycine and citric acid were also used as fuels in the microw...

Enhancing resistance to Sclerotinia minor in peanut by expressing a barley oxalate oxidase gene.

Sclerotinia minor Jagger is the causal agent of Sclerotinia blight, a highly destructive disease of peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Based on evidence that oxalic acid is involved in the pathogenicity of many Sclerotinia species, our objectives were to recover transgenic peanut plants expressing an oxalic acid-degrading oxalate oxidase and to evaluate them for increased resistance to S. minor. Transf...

Effect of postharvest oxalic acid treatment on ethylene production, quality parameters, and antioxidant potential of peach fruit during cold storage.

The effects of postharvest oxalic acid (OA) treatment on ethylene production, fruit quality, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of peach fruit, were examined. Fruits were treated with oxalic acid immediately after harvest and stored at 1° C and 90% relative humidity for 28 days. The oxalic acid treated peach fruit exhibited significantly lower levels of ethylene production, pH, total ...

Colorimetric Microdetermination of Free Fatty Acids1

A colorimetric method for determination of free fatty acids has been developed, based on the estimation of copper in a chloroform extract of their cupric salts with oxalic acid bis-(cyclohexylidenehydrazide). Contamination with inorganic copper during extraction is practically eliminated by using filter-paper pads. Specificity and interferences are discussed. Recoveries average 101.1%. Normal v...

Chlorhexidine gluconate as a urine preservative in analysis for oxalic acid.

Chborhexidine, a potent antiseptic (1), has been used as a preservative for urine (2, 3) in which oxabic acid and calcium were to be measured. We recently described a biquid-chromatographic method for determining oxalic acid in urine (4) and wish to describe our results when using chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) to replace HCI in the preservation of urine in which oxalic acid was measured. Our met...
