Colorimetric Methods. Numerous colorimetric methods exist for the quantitative determination of carbohydrates as a group (8). Among the most popular of these is the phenol—sulfuric acid method of Dubois (9), which rehes on the color formed when a carbohydrate reacts with phenol in the presence of hot sulfuric acid. The test is sensitive for virtually all classes of carbohydrates. Colorimetric methods are usually employed when a very small concentration of carbohydrate is present, and are often used in clinical situations. The Somogyi method, of which there are many variations, rehes on the reduction of cupric sulfate to cuprous oxide and is appHcable to reducing sugars. 

EmpiricalEfficieny Prediction Methods. Numerous empirical methods for predicting plate efficiency have been proposed. Probably the most widely used method correlates overall column efficiency as a function of feed viscosity and relative volatiHty (64). A statistical correlation of efficiency and system variables has been developed from numerous plate efficiency data (65). 

Choice of Method. Numerous enzyme immobilization techniques have been described in the Hterature comprehensive books on this and related subjects, including industrial appHcations, are available (33—36). The more general techniques and some selection criteria are included herein. 

With these two-point boundary conditions the dispersion equation, Eq. (23-50), may be integrated by the shooting method. Numerical solutions for first- and second-order reaciions are plotted in Fig. 23-15. 

In general, discontinuities constitute a problem for numerical methods. Numerical simulation of a blast flow field by conventional, finite-difference schemes results in a solution that becomes increasingly inaccurate. To overcome such problems and to achieve a proper description of gas dynamic discontinuities, extra computational effort is required. Two approaches to this problem are found in the literature on vapor cloud explosions. These approaches differ mainly in the way in which the extra computational effort is spent. 

Since the measurements of conductance change are not directly related to the composition of the solution, as an alternative method numerical integration of the differential rate equations implied by the proposed mechanism was employed. The second order rate coefficients obtained by this method are... 

By this method numerous carboxylic esters have been prepared as is shown in Table 3-1. Diesters are compiled in Table 3-2. 

A researcher in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, alongside the important studies of catalysts chemical properties (i.e., properties at a molecular level), inevitably encounters problems determining the catalyst structure at a supramolecular (textural) level. A powerful combination of physical and chemical methods (numerous variants x-ray diffraction (XRD), IR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), XPS, EXAFS, ESR, Raman of Moessbauer spectroscopy, etc. and achievements of modem analytical chemistry) may be used to study the catalysts chemical and phase molecular structure. At the same time, characterizations of texture as a fairytale Cinderella fulfill the routine and very frequently senseless work, usually limited (obviously in our modem transcription) with electron microscopy, formal estimation of a surface area by a BET method, and eventually with porosimetry without any thorough insight. 

Isomerization reactions are an excellent method for the synthesis of allenes. Depending on the method, numerous functional groups are tolerated, hence these reactions match the demands of modern synthesis. In the other chapters of this book we will encounter these reactions again, embedded in a wider chemical context. Not the preparation of the allene but its use in organic synthesis and the benefits of its high reactivity will then be the major focus. 

The problem of an unphysical flow of ZPE is not a specific feature of the mapping approach, but represents a general flaw of quasi-classical trajectory methods. Numerous approaches have been proposed to fix the ZPE problem [223]. They include a variety of active methods [i.e., the flow of ZPE is controlled and (if necessary) manipulated during the course of individual trajectories] and several passive methods that, for example, discard trajectories not satisfying predefined criteria. However, most of these techniques share the problem that they manipulate individual trajectories, whereas the conservation of ZPE should correspond to a virtue of the ensemble average of trajectories.

Naturally occurring fatty alcohols used in the fragrance industry are produced principally by reduction of the methyl esters of the corresponding carboxylic acids, which are obtained by transesterification of natural fats and oils with methanol. Industrial reduction processes include catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of copper-chromium oxide catalysts (Adkins catalysts) and reduction with sodium (Bouveault—Blanc reduction). Unsaturated alcohols can also be prepared by the latter method. Numerous alcohols used in flavor compositions are, meantime, produced by biotechnological processes [11]. Alcohols are starting materials for aldehydes and esters. 

Enantiomeric purity. In order to assess the efficiency of an enantioselective hydrolase-catalyzed reaction, it is imperative that one can accurately measure at least the conversion and the enantiomeric excesses of either the substrate or the product (see equations Equation 1, Equation 2, and Equation 3). Although optical rotation is sometimes used to assess enantiomeric excess, it is not recommended. Much better alternatives are various chromatographic methods. For volatile compounds, capillary gas chromatography on a chiral liquid phase is probably the most convenient method. Numerous commercial suppliers offer a large variety of columns with different chiral liquid phases. Hence it is often easy to find suitable conditions for enantioselective GC-separations that yield ee-values in excess of... 

Apart from those homemade methods, numerous commercial kits including the EZ-screen -lactam card tests (Environmental Diagnostics, Inc., Burlington, NC), the CITE probe -lactam test (IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Westbrook, ME), the LacTek -lactam test (IDETEK, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA), and the spot test for benzylpenicillin, cephapirin, and cloxacillin (Angenics, Inc., Cambridge, MA) are also available. 

Differential Solubility Methods. Numerous methods have been developed to obtain one or more of the various caseins from whole casein or directly from skim milk based on their differential solubility (Thompson 1971 Mackinlay and Wake 1971 Whitney 1977). While some early procedures indicated the possibility of fractionating whole casein into different components, it was not until the 1950s that systematic procedures were proposed for the fractionation of casein into Warner s a-, 0-, and y-caseins. Hipp et al. (1952) developed two procedures which have been used extensively or partially incorporated into other methods. The first is based upon the differential solubilities of the caseins in 50% alcohol in the presence of ammonium acetate by varying the pH, temperature, and ionic strength. The second procedure involves the dispersion of whole casein in 6.6 M urea and the separa-...
