Juniper Oil. The best juniper oil [8012-91 -7] is obtained from the steam distillation of the ripe cmshed, dried berries of Juniperus communis L., a shmb which grows wild in many regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. However, most commercial juniperberry oil comes from the fermented fmits as a by-product of flavors for alcohoHc beverages such as gin, brandy, Hquors, cordials, and sloe-gin. This represents the actual commercial juniperberry oil, since very Httle tme juniperberry oil is produced. A comparison of the headspace volatiles of ripe juniperberries (85) with an authentic, freshly prepared juniperberry oil (86) is shown in Table 42.

Physiological functions as well as clinical symptoms that occur in humans deficient in specific vitamins are given in Table 6. It is becoming more authenticated that vitamins have additional potential health benefits when adrninistered, via the diet or by supplementation, at levels above those required for obviating deficiency. Although for most vitamins the optimal levels are not yet estabUshed, some of the potential health benefits to be derived from vitamins are indicated (16). In one case, the level of scientific proof is such that the U.S. FDA has allowed "a health cl aim that women who are capable of... 

In the tables of relevant Standards in this book while the latest editions of the standards are provided, it is possible that revised editions have become available. With the advances of technology and/or its application, the updating of standards is a continuous process by different standards organizations. It is therefore advisable that for more authentic references, readers should consult the relevant organizations for the latest version of a standard. 

It will be seen from the foregoing that there is no systematic nomenclature for these compounds. Some of them have been isolated by several workers and with the impression that they were new substances have been given new names, and this applies especially to the two isocinchonines and dihydrocinchonine. It will be noticed that instead of the two geometrical isomerides required by formula (Ga) there are three cinchon-hydrines. The a- and jS-forms are well-defined crystalline substances, but the supposed y-form (see table, p. 452) is amorphous and its authenticity doubtful. Eormula (E) requires two geometrical isomerides, but quinidine... 

Table 10.2 reports some results obtained for cold-pressed and distilled citrus oils. As can be seen, the values obtained are characteristic of the different oils, and can be used as references for the authenticity and quality of the oil. 

The measurement of filth elements by microanalysis is a valuable adjunct in the enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and serves as an efficient means of evaluating conditions of cleanliness, decency, and sanitation in food-producing plants. This, of course, is in addition to the value of microanalytical methods in the determination of the fitness of foods as they reach the consumer. The techniques available, together with proficiency of manipulation, repeated references to authentic materials, and sound judgment in the interpretation of results, provide effective enforcement weapons in the constant war to prevent the production and interstate distribution of products which are unfit for the table of the American consumer. 

Specificity is a measure of how selectively the analytical method measures the marker compound in the presence of other compounds. The descriptors used to establish specificity differ depending upon the guideline (see Table 3), but the purpose behind them is the same. In all cases, the method must be demonstrated to have no interference from several (at least five) confrol animals that represent variation in sex, age, and breed. Further, incurred residue samples or authentic metabolite standards must demonstrate no interference with the marker residue detection. The method must be tested with other approved dmgs for the target species to show that no interference exists if these compounds are also present. 

If sulfonylurea herbicides can reasonably be expected to be present in an analytical sample (based on prior knowledge), one parent-to-daughter ion transition is usually considered sufficient to confirm its presence. In other cases where little is known about the sample history, two parent-to-daughter ion transitions are generally considered to be necessary for a definitive confirmation. Suggested ion transitions for most of the registered sulfonylurea herbicides are listed in Table 2. Furthermore, the ratio of the signals for the two transitions obtained for the sample should match that of an authentic standard within 30%, at most. ... 

Llrlodenine from Fractions 33-40 - Crystallization of the residue of these fractions (118 mg) from chloroform yielded 85 mg of yellow needles, mp 280-281°. The melting point, IR, and UV data were consistent with that reported for the yellow alkaloid, llrlodenine, previously reported from the heartwood (9). Direct comparison (melting point, mixture melting point, IR, and UV) with an authentic sample of llrlodenine confirmed the identity. Antimicrobial assay showed llrlodenine to be the active component present in these fractions (Table II). 

Authentic formulations of benzene hexachloride-DDT-sulfur were analyzed, following the above procedure, and the results are shown in Table I.
