Menthol by HPLC??
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 7:58 pm
Hi Everyone,
I would like to know if anyone has analyzed menthol by HPLC using a UV-VIS detector. And before anyone suggests: I do not have a GC nor do I have an RI detector for the HPLC.
As far as I know, menthol isn't absorbed in the UV-VIS range, but I wanted to know if anyone has maybe modified a method so that a UV-VIS detector can be used. If not, has anyone assayed menthol using a spectrophotometer maybe instead?
I need to assay menthol as a raw material as well as in some cosmetic formulations. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
