“…Different analytical methods for the detection and quantification of PAP in paracetamol formulations are described in the literature. These methods range from spectroscopic techniques including second derivative ultraviolet spectroscopy (Yesilada, Erdogan, & Ertan, 1991), colorimetry (Korany, Heber, & Schnekenburger, 1982;Mohamed, AbdAllah, & Shammat, 1997), fluorimetry (Dejaegher, Bloomfield, Smeyers-Verbeke, & Vander Heyden, 2008) to chromatographic techniques such as micellar electrokinetic chromatography (N emeth, Jankovics, N emeth-Palot as, & K} oszegi-Szalai, 2008) and several liquid chromatography techniques. The latter technique has also been variously adapted with regard to detection which includes amperometric (Wyszecka-Kaszuba, Waronwna-Grzeskiewicz, & Fijalek, 2001), voltametric (Liu, Li, Dong, & Wang, 1996), and spectrophotometric (Nageswara and Narasaraju, 2006).…”
