Abstract: | A microemulsion containing sodium dodecyl sulphate and n-pentanol in a mass ratio of 1 : 4, water and a vegetable oil was investigated using pseudo-tenary phase diagrams. The medium can co-solve important amounts of vegetable oils and aqueous solutions over a wide range of ionic strengths. A procedure for the determination of 1.4–140 μg ml?1 of aniline in vegetable oils using ionic diazotization and coupling reactions was developed. The absorbance was measured in an optically clear microemulsion containing 4% or 20% of oil. The procedure is much simpler and rapid than the official chromatographic methods and gives almost the same limits of detection (ca. 05 μg ml?1) using no more than 1 ml of sample. The repeatability for 30 μg ml?1 aniline was 2%. Acid-base titrations in the microemulsion medium permitted the evaluation of the protonation constant of the dye. |
