Abstract

The possibilities for the determination of active components in creams by acid-base titrations in non-aqueous solvents were investigated. Interference by cream-base components with the titration of weak organic bases and their halides with perchloric acid in acetic acid, and with the titration of weak acids with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in N,N-dimethylformamide were studied. It appeared to be possible to determine alkaloid halides, salicylic acid, hexachlorophene and methyl salicylate without previous clean-up of the cream samples.
