Abstract
Isotopic dilution is shown to be a suitable method for the analysis of traces of Lebaycid in oranges with appropriate sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The procedure involves solubilization of Lebaycid in acetonitrile followed by purification: extraction with hexane from a mixture of methanol and water, chromatography in an alumina column and TLC on silica gel. Factors governing precision are discussed.
