Abstract
Abstract A collaborative study was made of Schwartzman’s method for residues of nicotine in waxy crops and leafy crops. The nicotine is stripped from leafy crops with ammoniacal benzene-chloroform and from waxy crops with ammonium hydroxide, extracted with acid, and measured on an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Average recoveries by five collaborators were 95.9% for waxy crops and 103.8% for leafy crops. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official, first action.
