title: Application of a new spectrophotometric method for zinc determination in beverages and condiments.
abstract: A new spectrophotometric method has been applied to the determination of zinc in bottled mineral water (with and without gas), refreshments, vinegar, and table salt. The method introduces the 1-[di-(2-pyridyl)-methylidene]-5-(salicylidene)-thiocarbo hydrazone (DPST) as chromogenic reagent. This procedure is simple, rapid, reproducible and does not demand costly outfit and chemicals.
