Abstract
The invention provides an improved procedure for the precise quantitation of organic oxidants in a solution with hydrogen peroxide in which the peroxide is removed by the addition of catalase to scavenge the same. Surprisingly, the catalase does not affect the organic oxidant, and the procedure can accurately quantitate even minute amounts of the organic oxidant. The inventive method is especially effective in quantitating peracid generated enzymatically, although it can be used for chemically generated organic oxidants.
