Substitution method, description

Generally, the method to be developed should allow quantitative analysis of the analyte at the required restriction limit in all the official food simulants, including substitutes or alternatives and/or in the polymer, respectively. That means that for very low SML values which are assumed to be in the range of the detection limit, the aim should be to obtain a detection limit equal to or even lower than the restriction criterion. For other, higher SML and QM values, the aim should be to obtain a detection limit at least ten times below the legal or self-defined restriction criterion. It should also kept in mind that the method description should provide the relevant intra-lab-oratory precision data (at the required SML/QM value) according to ISO 5725 -(ISO 1994). 

Description of Method. Salt substitutes, which are used in place of table salt for individuals on a low-sodium diet, contain KCI. Depending on the brand, fumaric acid, calcium hydrogen phosphate, or potassium tartrate also may be present. Typically, the concentration of sodium in a salt substitute is about 100 ppm. The concentration of sodium is easily determined by flame atomic emission. Because it is difficult to match the matrix of the standards to that of the sample, the analysis is accomplished by the method of standard additions. 

The flowsheet shown in the introduction and that used in connection with a simulation (Section 1.4) provide insights into the pervasiveness of errors at the source, random errors are experienced as an inherent feature of every measurement process. The standard deviation is commonly substituted for a more detailed description of the error distribution (see also Section 1.2), as this suffices in most cases. Systematic errors due to interference or faulty interpretation cannot be detected by statistical methods alone control experiments are necessary. One or more such primary results must usually be inserted into a more or less complex system of equations to obtain the final result (for examples, see Refs. 23, 91-94, 104, 105, 142. The question that imposes itself at this point is how reliable is the final result Two different mechanisms of action must be discussed ... 

Quadratic Cl (QCI) and coupled cluster (CC) exemplify more complex methods that are not strictly variational in character, but include physical corrections similar to those of higher-order perturbation theory. Keywords for these methods also include a specification of substitutions from the reference FIF configuration, such as QCISD or CCSD, respectively, for QCI or CC methods with all single and double substitutions. More complete descriptions of these methods are beyond the scope of this appendix. 

Any company using a chemicai that requires authorisation shouid be required to provide a Substitution Plan, namely an assessment of available substitutes. This should include a full description of the aiternatives available, a comparative assessment of their intrinsic hazards and an assessment of technicai feasibiiity. This substitution assessment would form the basis of a justification of why an intrinsically less hazardous alternative cannot be used to replace the substance of high concern. The Substitution Assessment Pian shouid be transparent as to the methods and data used... 

Equation (9.15) was written for macro-pore diffusion. Recognize that the diffusion of sorbates in the zeoHte crystals has a similar or even identical form. The substitution of an appropriate diffusion model can be made at either the macropore, the micro-pore or at both scales. The analytical solutions that can be derived can become so complex that they yield Httle understanding of the underlying phenomena. In a seminal work that sought to bridge the gap between tractabUity and clarity, the work of Haynes and Sarma [10] stands out They took the approach of formulating the equations of continuity for the column, the macro-pores of the sorbent and the specific sorption sites in the sorbent. Each formulation was a pde with its appropriate initial and boundary conditions. They used the method of moments to derive the contributions of the three distinct mass transfer mechanisms to the overall mass transfer coefficient. The method of moments employs the solutions to all relevant pde s by use of a Laplace transform. While the solutions in Laplace domain are actually easy to obtain, those same solutions cannot be readily inverted to obtain a complete description of the system. The moments of the solutions in the Laplace domain can however be derived with relative ease. 

Electronic and vibrational spectroscopy continues to be important in the characterization of iron complexes of all descriptions. Charge-transfer spectra, particularly of solvatochromic ternary diimine-cyanide complexes, can be useful indicators of solvation, while IR and Raman spectra of certain mixed valence complexes have contributed to the investigation of intramolecular electron transfer. Assignments of metal-ligand vibrations in the far IR for the complexes [Fe(8)3] " " were established by means of Fe/ Fe isotopic substitution. " A review of pressure effects on electronic spectra of coordination complexes includes much information about apparatus and methods and about theoretical aspects, though rather little about specific iron complexes. ...

In comparison with the qualitative description of diffusion in a binary system as embodied by Eqs. (11), (12) or (14), the thermodynamic factors are now represented by the quantities a, b, c, and d and the dynamic factors by the phenomenological coefficients which are complex functions of the binary frictional coefficients. Experimental measurements of Dy in a ternary system, made on the basis of the knowledge of the concentration gradients of each component and by use of Eqs. (21) and (22), have been reviewed 35). Another method, which has been used recently36), requires the evaluation of py from thermodynamic measurements such as osmotic pressure and evaluation of all fy from diffusion measurements and substitution of these terms into Eqs. (23)—(26). 

Roth and coworkers41 42 have chosen carefully recalibrated force fields to predict reliable heats of formation with errors intended by the authors to be as small as 0.5 kcal mol"1. They started with the MM2 force field of Allinger98 and added to this parameters for the C(sp2)—C(sp2) and the C(cyclopropyl)—C(sp2) single bonds of reference compounds such as substituted 1,3-butadienes and vinylcyclopropanes41. Particular care was given to the correct description of the torsion potential of the reference compounds. The modified MM2 force field (MM2ERW) developed by Roth and coworkers describes polyenes and cyclopolyenes in terms of localized bond structures without any reference to quantum chemical methods such as the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) approach (see Section II.C)41.
