Abstract

Simple and convenient oxidimetric methods using the oxidants (i) ceric sulphate, (ii) sodium vanadate and (iii) hexacyanoferrate were developed for detn. of dulcin, a non-nutritive sweetener, in ready-to-serve beverages. The reactions with these chemicals are stoichiometric, consuming 26, 10 and 10 mol of the oxidants (i), (ii) and (iii) resp. Recovery of dulcin was 98-100.4% with (i), 97.5-100.6% with (ii), and 97.6-100.8% with (iii). Recovery of dulcin added at 100-500 p.p.m. to ready-to-serve orange and lime flavoured beverages was also in the above range but recoveries at the higher concn. (200 or 500 p.p.m.) were 97-99%. Interference due to salicylic acid and caffeine are avoided by extraction under alkaline conditions; chloride, sulphate and phosphate anions do not interfere even when present in 10-fold molar excess to that of dulcin.
