A method for the quantitative determination of menadione bisulfite addition products in feed premixes is presented. The menadione bisulfite compound is extracted with methanol from the premix and is determined by gas chromatography directly without pretreatment with alkali. The principle of the method is on-column pyrolysis of menadione bisulfite and subsequent gas chromatographic analysis of the pyrolytic product, menadione.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
