Abstract:
The reactive mechanism, stability and interrelating properties, and thermodynamic constants of beta-cyclodextrin polymer (beta-CDP) including vanillin, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and piperonal were investigated. The effects of pH, temperature, time and solvent concentration on the inclusion reaction were determined. The optimum conditions were determined (pH, 3.0; temperature, normal atmospheric temperature; time, 90 min; ethanol concentration, <1%). The method was applied for the direct ultraviolet solid phase spectrophotometric determination of vanillin in peanut toffee and toffee, and the other aromatic aldehydes using beta-CDP adsorbed resin with satisfactory results. The beta-CDP resin has less background absorbance in ultraviolet region compared to other ion-exchanger resins.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...

UV–Vis Spectrum
The UV–Vis spectrum of a molecule is the plot of its absorbance versus wavelength. The plot is drawn by taking molar absorptivity (ε) or log ε on the y-axis (ordinate)...
