Enzymic Method for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Benzoic Acid in Soy Sauce and Pickles

Abstract: A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of benzoic acid is described. Benzoic acid is measured enzymically through its reaction with benzoate 4-hydroxylase coupled with NADPH and O2. The entire enzymic procedure required 20 min to complete. The method greatly simplifies the procedure for benzoic acid determination and permits the routine inspection of a number of samples with very little laboratory equipment. The method was compared with HPLC and satisfactory agreement was achieved.

“…O limite de 100mg/100mL para benzoato de sódio exigido pelo Ministério da Agricultura e Abastecimento foi respeitado pelos fabricantes. De acordo com estes resultados quantitativos verifica-se que os mesmos estão na mesma ordem de grandeza dos encontrados para outras marcas de bebidas, refrigerantes, vegetais fermentados, conservas, molhos de tomate e soja [2,10,21,22].…”

“…On the other hand, capillary electrophoresis has been extensively used to develop methods to analyse these preservatives in food samples, the technique micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) being the one most usually applied [3,8,9,10,11]. Other methods have been reported including: second-order derivative spectrophotometry after solvent extraction [12], polarography [13] and enzymatic [14]. The AOAC official methods for analysing sorbic acid in beverages involve steam distillation followed by UV absorption spectrometry at 260 nm or reaction with thiobarbituric acid and colorimetry at 532 nm [15,16].…”

“…These include gas chromatography [7,8], spectroscopic technique [9,10], high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [11,12] and capillary electrophoresis [13]. These methods are time consuming, involve extensive extraction procedures, high operational cost and not very appropriate for analysis of large number of samples.…”
