In most cases dietary supplements especially in Libya are consumed without prescriptions and the public has very limited any awareness of their health risk. The lack of quality control on numerous brands of dietary supplements in pharmacies of Libya today may result in a serious health problem. The aim of this study is to determine the iron content using a fast and accurate method for quality control of some imported dietary supplements, based on spectrophotometric measurement of iron after complexation with 1, 10-phenanthroline in an acidic medium. Eight types of vitamin supplementary tablets were randomly collected from the Libyan market and analyzed for the iron content. The analysis showed an average value of 61mg Fe/pill for the range of 40.07-112.63 mg Fe/pill. Results showed that 75% of the samples were lower in iron content than that recorded on the dietary products.

أجري هذا البحث لتقدير فيتامين C في العصائر الطازجة لبعض عينات الليمون والبرتقال المحلي، وتم تقدير تركيز الفيتامين بطريقة المعايرة باستخدام محلول اليود القياسي وأظهرت نتائج هذا البحث أن كمية الفيتامين تختلف باختلاف العينة وحتى في عينات نفس النوع حيث وجد أن تركيز فيتامين C بوحدة mg/100ml لعينتين من نفس النوع للبرتقال الدمي (37- 76 ) وبرتقال أبوسرة (33- 64 ) وللبرتقال الحلو (28-40 ) ولليوسفي ( 17-28 ) وللبرتقال المر (24.7-48 ) وللبرتقال الحامض (31- 58 ) والليمون ( 21-41 ). وأعلى تركيز كان لعينة البرتقال الدمي وأقل تركيز لعينة الليمون.

The adsorption of acid red 186(AR) onto activated carbon prepared from Libyan farms was studied, the effect of solution pH, contact time, adsorption dose and initial dye concentration was evaluated. The adsorption studied included Langmuir and Freundlish isotherms were applied to experimental results. The experimental results fitted very well to both adsorption isotherms. The mixture mono layer capacity obtained from Langmuir is q_e =7.62mg/g for activated carbon (100-45um) and q_e=7.194mg/g for activated carbon (lees than 45um).Therefore, activated carbon has the potential to be used as a low cost eco-friendly adsorbent for removal “activated carbon” dye from aqueous solution. arabic 11 English 57
