Description
1-Aminohydantoin hydrochloride is a major metabolite of nitrofurantoin in animal tissues and can be used as a standard for the determination of residues of veterinary agents in meat, milk et.al. 1-Aminohydantoin hydrochloride covalently binds to tissue proteins and is released from the tissues under slightly acidic conditions and derivatized with 2-nitrobenzaldehyde to form nitrophenyl derivatives of AHD before detection[1]
