“…Thus, NAA has been determined by room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the presence of b-cyclodextrin or a micellar agent (Muñoz de la Segura Carretero et al, 1998;Murillo Pulgarín et al, 2003). NOA has also been determined with phosphorescence methods over the past few years; some such methods use heavy-atom induced room temperature phosphorescence (HAI-RTP; Li et al, 2000), a micellar agent (MS-RTP;Segura Carretero et al, 1996) or a cyclodextrin (CD-RTP; Muñoz de la Peña and Duran Meras, 1993). This paper reports the simultaneous determination of 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA) and 2-naphthoxyacetic acid (NOA) by micelle-stabilised room temperature phosphorescence (MS-RTP) in agricultural products such as tomato and fruits (apple, strawberry, orange and plum), using a simple spectrofluorometer.…”
