[A rapid method for the determination of quinine in soft drinks and other aqueous solutions (author's transl)]

Quinine is determined quantitatively with a liquid-chromatographic method in various solutions using silica as a stationary and methanol + 0.5% ammonia as a mobile phase. The approximate concentrations of quinine were found to be between 50.0 to 72.0 mg/1 in the soft-drinks investigated. Beers, which were also investigated do not content quinine. The method presented is also useful for determining quinine in aqueous solutions of various origin.
