- Abstract
The hyoscyamine contents of four BPC mixtures (containing either belladonna or hyoscyamus tincture) were determined using the acid-dye technique. A sample size of 10 ml was required. The mean percentage recovery of hyoscyamine ranged from 99.73 to 101.03 from three mixtures; from the magnesium trisilicate and belladonna mixture, it was 94.8. The effects of pH and adsorption on the extraction of the alkaloid-dye complex from the mixtures examined are discussed.
