Instrumental Analysis of Household Detergents

Award of the Eu Ecolabel to Laundry Detergents: Performance Test of Household Detergents

Furthermore, it should be recognised that the dosage per wash of a detergent is one of the most important criteria for Ecolabelling. The necessity to have sufficient washing performance should avoid any deceit in Ecolabel application, e.g. recommending too low dosage in full knowledge that sufficient washing performance is not achievable and/or higher dosages will need to be used by the consume...

Phosphorus NMR analysis of phospholipids in detergents.

Various detergents can be used to dissolve phospholipids, resulting in very narrow 31PNMR resonances. The resonances are well resolved, allowing identification and quantitative analysis of phospholipids in a mixture. The chemical shift depends strongly on pH, reflecting changes in the state of ionization of the phospholipid headgroup moieties. Samples of phospholipids dissolved in aqueous deter...

Instrumental Analysis of Tetrodotoxin

Determinations and residual characteristics of triclosan in household food detergents of Taiwan.

Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether) is a widely used antibacterial agent. However, it was concerned recently that triclosan might act as an antibiotic and will cause resistant bacterial strains. Furthermore, possible formation of toxic chloroform was also reported when the triclosan contained in household dishwashing soaps reacted with the chlorinated water. To assess the asso...

DNA isolation from goat blood using different brands of household detergents and its downstream application.

Rapid isolation of DNA from goat blood using different brands of detergents available in Indian market, is reported. The integrity and efficiency of these DNA preparations were compared with genomic DNA isolated by a standard kit (Flexi gene DNA kit), using amplification of exon 2 of CYP19 (aromatase) gene. The similar and significant amplification of this gene was obtained using genomic DNA is...
