A new colorimetric method established for the determination of ampicillin was based on the reductions of phosphomolybdic acid by ampicillin to be resutled in a molybdenum blue which showed a mezimal absorbance at 770nm. The pH effects on a molybodenum blue solution was dependent significantly on temeprature, but the wave-length shift was not effected by the molybdenum blue.

A method for the determination of nitrogen in ruminant feedstuffs, products and excreta (e.g. milk and urine) using a spectrophotometer is developed, where samples processed for P determination are also used to determine N. Samples are digested with sulphuric acid and subsequently with hydrogen peroxide in Kjeldahl tubes. Digested solutions along with phenol and buffered alkaline hypochlorite reagents are incubated in a water bath at $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and presented in the spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer set at 625 nm measures the concentration of N of each sample. Nitrogen in 261 of the samples was also determined by the classical Kjeldahl method in order to develop a relationship between N determined by the Kjeldahl method (Y) and the colorimetric method (X). The mean value of Y was as high as that of X (0.92 vs. 0.96; p>0.05). The colorimetric method predicted Kjeldahl N highly significantly (Y=0.985X-0.024, $R^2=0.993$, p<0.001; or more simply Y=0.974X, $R^2=0.993$, p<0.001). An analysis of regression found no difference (p>0.05; both t-test and F-test) between colorimetric (0.96% N) and adjusted (0.96% N) N. In comparison with the Kjeldahl method, the analytical capacity of N by colorimetric method increases greatly, where 200-300 determinations of N are possible in a working day. In addition, the system provides an opportunity to use not only the same digested solution for both N and P determination of a particular sample, but also uses the same spectrophotometer to assay both N and P. Therefore, the system may be attractive in situations where both elements of a sample are to be determined. In conclusion, the speed of N determination, low cost, efficient use of labour, time and reagents, fewer items of equipment, and the reduction of environmental pollution by reducing effluent and toxic elements are the advantages of this method of N determination.

The method for colorimetric determination of acidic polysaccharide from Panax ginseng was investigated. It is possible to apply the method of carbazole-sulfuric acid to determination of pectin, and also to measure the amount of pectin in the mixture of various high molemlu compounds such as starch. cellulose and gum, etc. When the method of carbazole-sulfuric acid was applied to determine the amount of acidic polysaccharide, optical density at 525 nm increased linearly with an increase in the concentration of pure acidic polysaccharide. Effective extraction temperature with water for the determination of the amount of ginseng acidic polysaccharide (GAP) was $80{\circ}C$. In order to separate or concentrate GAP it was appropriate to precipitate the extract only once with 80% ethyl alcohol. GAP was very stable at $100{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in aqueous solution and between pH values of 5.0~ 12.0.

A simple and rapid colorimetric method for determination of panaxadiol and , panaxadiol was developed. 1. After heating with 60% perchloric acid, panaxadiol and panaxadiol yielded red.purple color with absorption maximum at 540 nm and 538 nm, respectively. 2. The maximum colors of the Panaxadiol and panaxadiol were reached when the algycones were treated at 6$0^{\circ}C$, 5 minutes or 7$0^{\circ}C$ 3 minutes. 3. The absorbance varied linearly with the amount of aglycone in the reaction mixture. And the colorimetric method was sensitive to about 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ of aglycone in 5.5ml of the reaction mixture. 4. The color was stable for about a week at 4$^{\circ}C$. 5. $\beta$-Sitosterol, oleanolic acid and cholesterol were not yielded red color by treatment with 60% perchloric acid under the conditions described.

A simple and inexpensive colorimetric spectrometer for determining total cholesterol has been developed,comprising a diode laser as the light sourcoptical fibers for the light guide and a photodiode as the detector.The stabilty and performance of the new system was investigated by obtaining the calibration curve for stan-dard cholesterol solutions. The total cholesterol in humanserum was also measured by the analyzer and com-pared with the value obtained by a conventional spectrometer. The results showed that the developed spectrometer was useful for the determination of cholesterol levels. The visible diodelaser used in the study exhibited good spectroscopic and operational properties for colorimetric absorption spectrometry and could be a key component for the development of a simple and economical analyzer.

Some of metal nanoparticles have the potential for use as colorimetric assays for estimating solution properties, such as pH and temperature due to localized surface plasmon (LSP) phenomena. This report describes the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) conjugated with cytochrome c (Cyt c) for the colorimetric determination of solution pHs. When the pH of a solution decreases, the Cyt c immobilized on the AgNP undergoes a conformational change, leading to a decrease in the interparticle distance between Cyt c-AgNP probes and consequent red-shift in LSP. As a result, the color of the Cyt c-AgNP probe solution changes from yellow to red and finally to a grayish blue in the pH range from 11 to 3. This gradual color change can be used to determine the pH of a solution over a wide pH range, compared to other colorimetric methods that use gold nanoparticles.

A new colorimetric method to analyze ${\alpha}-Cyclodextrin({\alpha}-CD)$ by using a property of ${\alpha}-CD$ to decolor the starch-iodine complex, was presented. ${\alpha}-CD$ was quantitatively determined as follows. The ${\alpha}-CD$ standard solutions at concentrations up to 2 mg/ml were prepared. To 1ml of starch-iodine complex solution which contained starch(1%) and iodine (0.02% $I_2$, 0.2% KI) equivalently in distilled water, $200\;{\mu}l$ of ${\alpha}-CD$ standard solutions and 3 ml of distilled water were added and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm. Using this mothod ${\alpha}-CD$ concentration range at $0{\sim}2\;mg/ml$ could be determined and their absorbance patterns at 570 nm showed a good linearity. ${\beta}(CD)$ and glucose had no interference in this method for ${\alpha}-CD$ determination.
