✦ Synopsis
In 1932, EacnrwE 1 developed a fluorirnctric qualitative test for malic acid based upon its reaction with P-naphthol in concentrated sulfuric acid. LErNIscEn AND KATZ2 later reported a quantitative method for rnalic acid based upon this fluorescence which eliminated the interference of citric acid found when resorcinol is used as the reagenta. They were able to determine r-30 ~6 of malic acid in apple juice. Citric and succinic acids did not interfere and tart&c acid showed a small interference when present in amounts equal to the malic acid present.
The present paper reports a dctailcd investigation of the optimum conditions for this reaction and for measuring the fluorescence intensity employing a spectrophotofluorimetcr.
As little as 0.1~6 or 0.002 p.p.m. of malic acid can be determined.

## Abstract A new spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of bile acid (BA). Using europium ion (Eu^3+^)‐doxycycline (DC) as a fluorescent probe, in a buffer solution of pH=7.0, BA can remarkably reduce the fluorescence intensity of the DC‐Eu^3+^ complex at λ
