Abstract

A colorimetric method is described for the
quantitative determination of microgramme
quantities of vanillin based on its reaction
with excess of thiobarbituric acid in aqueous
medium containing specified amounts of
hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid. The
coloured complex shows a single absorption
maximum at 432-434 mμ and the colour
intensity of the complex obeys Beer's law at
this wavelength when prescribed amounts of
vanillin are reacted with thiobarbituric acid.
The interference of sugars in the reaction and
the application of the method to processed
foodstuffs containing vanillin have been discussed.
