Automated turbidimetric determination of cyclamate in low calorie soft drinks and sweeteners without pre-treatment

The method presented a linear range between 0.015 and 0.120% (w/v) and the calibration graph was S = (7.792 ± 0.179) X − (0.114 ± 0.012), R2 = 0.999. A reproducibility of 5.9% was obtained from nine calibration graphs that were carried out on different days and with different conditions (standard solution, reagents solution, etc.). The detection and quantification limits were 0.006 and 0.02% (w/v), respectively, the sample throughput 45 h−1 (by considering the wash cycle and the time consuming to eliminate the clean solution from the system). The obtained results were agreement with that obtained with the standard method.
