Abstract
A method is described for the estimation of alginic acid in seaseed samples, using the color reaction with carbazole and sulphuric acid, which can be applied on a micro scale, and is more rapid than the technique previously adopted.

Several methods for the quantitative estimation of the optically active isomers of tartaric acid are known (l-3). The smallest amounts of material which can be detected with these methods range from 1 to 3 ,umoles. For the determination of m-tartaric acid, the only method described in the literature
A new, rapid, simple, and sensitive calorimetric method for the estimation of resorcinol in microgram amounts is described. Rothera's test (1) has been routinely used to identify the presence of active -CH,-CO-CH,-groups in various biological samples. Thus, the formation of 3-oxoadipic acid from pr
The acid dye method for the estimation of certain alkaloids and other base compounds has been extended to atropine and other tropine alkaloids. This procedure is based on the observation that certain acidic dyes combine with many alkaloids to form saltlike compounds which are characterized by their
