      J. Planar Chromatogr. 28, 167-172 (2015). TLC of trans-resveratrol in cosmetic raw materials on RP with methanol - water 3:2. The plate is dried for 3 h. Quantitative determination by fluorescence measurement using a deuterium lamp at 340 nm. The hRF value was 38. The LOD and LOQ were 2 and 6 ng/zone, respectively. The presence of trans-resveratrol in the analyzed samples was additionally confirmed by detection with anisaldehyde reagent.

      P.J. PEISCHL*, M. SABO, G.E. DUGAN, G. PUERSCHNER, (Clairol Inc., 2 Blachley Road, Stamford, CT 06922, USA)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 7, 211-216 (1994). TLC of the individual dye components of a hair color product (eight different variations of the formula) on silica with ethyl acetate or ether - chloroform - ethyl acetate 6:1:1. Quantification by densitometry at 415 nm (absorbance).

      On plate resolution of three-component mixture of cationic surfactants with mixed aqueous-organic eluents containing formate ion
      A. MOHAMMAD*, S. BHAWANI (*Analytical Research Lab., Dept. of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Eng. & Tech., Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, UP, India)

      Separation Science and Technology 44, 1007-1021 (2009). A TLC method for mutual separation of three longchain aliphatic quaternary ammonium halides (cationic surfactants) is reported. TLC of dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB), tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (HTAC) on laboratory made TLC plates coated with Kieselguhr (0.25 mm), with methanol - 10 % sodium formate 3:7 as mobile phase. Detection with modified Dragendorff reagent comprised of solution A (containing bismuth subnitrate and KD) and solution B (containing barium chloride). Solutions A and B were mixed 2:1. The compounds appeared as orange-coloured spots. The effects of alcohols (ethanol, n-propanol), substitution of the formate ion by benzoate and acetate ion, different adsorbents (silica gel, aluminum), and the interference of metal ions ( Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Pb2+) on the resolution of the three surfactants was studied. The limits of detection of DTAB, TTAB, and HTAC estimated were 3.3, 3.1, and 2.8 µg/zone respectively. The method was applied for separation of these compounds in water samples.

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 8, 39-46 (1995). TLC of 11 nitrosamines and amines on CN and diol modified silica with four binary eluents: cyclohexane - dioxane, heptane - ethyl acetate, isooctane - MTBE, cyclohexane - 2-propanol. Detection by spraying with sodium nitroprusside - potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) reagent resp. ninhydrin.

      Quantification of xanthones in mangosteen fruit hull extracts
      Bénédicte PORTET*, Aline GILBERT, J. GIBOULOT (*Centre de Recherche Yves Rocher, 7 chemin de Bretagne, 92444 Issy les Moulineaux cedex, France, benedicte.portet@yrnet.com)

      CBS 115, 5-7 (2015). HPTLC of xanthones in mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana) on RP-18 with acetonitrile – water – formic acid 80:17:3 to a migration distance of 65 mm. Detection by spraying with NEU's reagent and PEG, evaluation under UV 366 nm. The hRf value of β-mangostin was 11, of 9-hydroxycalabaxanthone 14, of α-mangostin 29, and of γ-mangostin 43. Quantitative determination of the four xanthones as α-mangostin equivalents by absorbance measurement at 280 and 320 nm. Comparison with an HPLC-UV method on RP-18 showed only a small difference (1.5 %) of the quantified total content. HPTLC was found to be a good alternative to HPLC.
