β¦ Synopsis
A new fluorescence quenching method has been developed to determine nitrite in water and food samples. The method is based on the reaction between nitrite and the fluorescent indole to form a compound which has no fluorescence in acidic medium. The fluorescence intensity was measured in 1 cm quartz cell with excitation and emission wavelengths of 285 and 350 nm, respectively. The relationship was obtained between the fluorescence intensity and nitrite concentration in the range 0.01-0.6 g ml Οͺ1 . The detection limit was 2.5 ng ml Οͺ1 . The proposed method was applied to determine nitrite in water and food samples. The mechanism involved in the reaction was studied.

In weak acidic medium, the anticancer antibiotics bleomycin A5 (BLMA5) and bleomycin A2 (BLMA2) bind with halofluorescein dyes, such as erythrosin (Ery), eosin Y (EY) and eosin B (EB), to form ion-association complexes, which causes fluorescence quenching of halofluorescein dyes. The quenching value
