The detection of ethylenediamine is used as a diagnostic test for the presence of residual microcapsules occurring in crop commodities as a result of encapsulated pesticide applications. Samples to be analyzed for microcapsule residues are dehydrated, degraded in caustic ethylene glycol solution under reflux, fractionally distilled, and monitored for ethylenediamine content spectrofluorometrically.
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.
