The colorimetric method for the determination of solanine and solanidine has been standardized and the molecular extinction coefficient of the coloured solutions at wavelength 570 mμ have been determined. A method has been developed for the extraction of solanine from potato tubers by using a Soxhlet apparatus. This method gave consistently higher results than the method of Rooke et al. ; it may also be used for cooked potato.
