Abstract
A method initially developed for aminozide [succinic acid mono (2,2 dimethylhydrazide)] determination in apple fruit, involving hydrolysis to unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and oxidation of the latter to form aldehyde, has been adapted for use with chrysanthemum tissues. Modifications include preparation of the standard curve from aminozide samples taken through the entire procedure, use of a smaller sample size routine concentration of distillates containing unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine on a rotary evaporator to remove interfering volatile material and correction for low levels of ‘apparent aminozide’ found in untreated tissue.
