Benzoyl peroxide assay using high-pressure liquid chromatography. 1978

S Oliveri-Vigh, and F T Hainsworth

A highly specific assay for benzoyl peroxide was developed using high-pressure liquid chromatography. A concentration curve was recorded from 0.1 to 3.0 microgram with a correlation coefficient of 0.9969. The standard deviation for 10 individual analyses of a benzoyl peroxide preparation was +/- 0.547 (1.80% RSD).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010545	Peroxides	A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed)	Peroxide

D001547	Benzaldehydes	Compounds that consist of a benzene ring with a formyl group. They occur naturally in the seeds of many fruits and are used as FLAVORING AGENTS and fragrances, as well as precursors in pharmaceutical and plastics manufacturing.
D001565	Benzoates	Derivatives of BENZOIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the carboxybenzene structure.	Benzoate,Benzoic Acids,Acids, Benzoic
D001585	Benzoyl Peroxide	A peroxide derivative that has been used topically for BURNS and as a dermatologic agent in the treatment of ACNE and POISON IVY DERMATITIS. It is used also as a bleach in the food industry.
