Determination of magnesium stearate in capsule- or tablet-type supplements

A simple method for the determination of magnesium stearate in capsule- or tablet-type supplements was developed. Free stearic acid in the sample was removed by extraction with tetrahydrofuran. The remaining stearate was converted to stearic acid by reaction with a cation-exchange resin. The resulting stearic acid was determined by gas chromatography with a polar column. Esters of stearic acid were not converted to stearic acid and would not cause a positive error in the amount of stearate. The amount of magnesium stearate was calculated based on the stearic acid concentration thus obtained. Magnesium stearate levels in 5 out of 25 supplements exceeded 2500 microg/g, which indicated the possible admixture of magnesium stearate.

Dislocations in silicon observed by high-voltage,high-resolution electron microscopy

Dislocations in deformed silicon crystals have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy with the axial illumination along the [110] direction using a 1 MV electron microscope. Extended 60 dislocations, Z-shape faulted dipoles and stacking fault tetrahedra were observed in atomic level. The results demonstrated the potentiality of highvoltage, high-resolution electron microscopy for the study of atomic configurations of structural defects.
