Dihydrogen phosphates

Description of Method. The water-soluble vitamins Bi (thiamine hydrochloride), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacinamide), and Be (pyridoxine hydrochloride) may be determined by CZE using a pH 9 sodium tetraborate/sodlum dIhydrogen phosphate buffer or by MEKC using the same buffer with the addition of sodium dodecyl-sulfate. Detection Is by UV absorption at 200 nm. An Internal standard of o-ethoxybenzamide Is used to standardize the method. 

Procedure. A vitamin B complex tablet Is crushed and placed In a beaker with 20.00 mL of a 50% v/v methanol solution that Is 20 mM In sodium tetraborate and contains 100.0 ppm of o-ethoxybenzamIde. After mixing for 2 min to ensure that the B vitamins are dissolved, a 5.00-mL portion Is passed through a 0.45- xm filter to remove Insoluble binders. An approximately 4-nL sample Is loaded Into a 50- xm Internal diameter capillary column. For CZE the capillary column contains a 20 mM pH 9 sodium tetraborate/sodlum dIhydrogen phosphate buffer. For MEKC the buffer Is also 150 mM In sodium dodecylsulfate. A 40-kV/m electric field Is used to effect both the CZE and MEKC separations.

Starch sodium phosphate monoesters [11120-02-8] are prepared by heating mixtures of 10% moisture starch and sodium monohydrogen and dihydrogen phosphates or sodium tripolyphosphate. Starch phosphate monoesters are used primarily in foods, such as pudding starches and with oH-in-water emulsions. 

Dissolve 680 mg potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 50 ml water and add 4.6 ml 0.1 M caustic soda then dilute 1+9 with water.
