Abstract:
A rapid, sensitive and selective analytical method by LC-MS/MS was developed and validated for the determination of cyclamate in various kinds of foods. The Preparation of test solutions was performed by heat extraction technique in accordance with an official notification method in Japan. We aimed to reduce the matrix effects in LC-MS/MS only by diluting extracts without clean-up using solid phase column. This method was assessed for 30 kinds of foods fortifying cyclamate at the concentration level of 0.5 μg/g. As a result, trueness was 85.0 to 106.6%, repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 1.7 to 9.4%, and within-laboratory reproducibility (RSDwr) ranged from was 4.1 to 9.7%. These date supported the reliability our method. Thus, this method could be useful for a rapid determination of cyclamate in various kinds of foods.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
