Synopsis
Learn practical, proven tests for identifying organic compounds in foods and oils, with clear steps and limitations.
The book offers hands-on methods used to detect compounds like salicylic acid, using ferric chloride, Millon’s reagent, and the Jorissen test. It explains how colors can fade or persist, and why some tests are more delicate for tiny amounts. You’ll see how to confirm findings with multiple methods and why certain substances may resemble salicylic acid in appearance or behavior. The text also covers how common interferents can affect results, and how to adapt tests for very small samples.
In addition, you’ll explore methods for analyzing drying oils and detecting adulterants in oils. It discusses tests to distinguish vegetable oils from fish oils, including bromide precipitation tests and related procedures. The discussion includes how oils change with age or exposure to air and why that matters for interpretation in analyses.
- How to perform the Millon and Jorissen tests and interpret results
- How ferric chloride and other tests may be influenced by interfering substances
- Techniques for detecting benzoic acid and benzoates among other compounds
- Methods to identify oils and detect adulterants in drying oils
Ideal for readers who perform analytical chemistry work in food, oils, and related products, and who value a disciplined, evidence-based approach.
