Abstract
Abstract
An improved turbidimetric analytical method for guayule rubber was developed. The method is simpler and faster than previously developed turbidimetric methods, and enables the use of commercial solutions of the rubber. Unlike Traub and Perry, who used diisobutyl ketone for extraction of guayule rubber for turbidimetric measurements, we used hexane, which did not extract aromatic compounds along with the rubber, thus giving the best yield of spectrally clean rubber. Propanol is our precipitant of choice for turbidimetric assay of rubber, since it is also good as a colloid-protection agent.
