An interlaboratory study was carried out for the determination of benzoic acid in orange juice by liquid chromatography. The orange juice was fortified with 0.5-10 ppm benzoic acid. Statistical analysis of the results showed that relative reproducibility (RSDR) between laboratories ranged from 6.92 to 15.97% for juice fortified with 1-10 ppm benzoic acid; RSDR was 27.90% for juice fortified with 0.5 ppm benzoic acid. Mean recoveries ranged from 94.5% for 4 ppm benzoic acid to 114% for 0.5 ppm benzoic acid. Total variability increased with increasing fortification level as measured by standard deviation for reproducibility (SR).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
