Summary

A colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of acetaldehyde is described which is sensitive to 0.5 microgram. The test uses 2-(4′-phenylazo)phenylhydrazinesulfonic acid for the development of a lavender color which is proportional in intensity to the amount of acetaldehyde present.

Zusammenfassung

Eine kolorimetrische Methode für die Bestimmung von Acetaldehyd wird beschrieben, mit der noch 0,5μg erfaßt werden können. Die Intensität der mit 2-(4′-Phenylazo)-phenylhydrazinsulfonsäure entwickelten lavendelblauen Färbung ist der Aldehydmenge proportional.
