Definitions
- the present invention is directed to the marking of commercial bulk products, so as to allow for the verification of the genuine nature and the absence of dilution of said products.
- Methods are disclosed for in-product marking, preferably invisible, as well as corresponding authentication procedures that permit determinations in the field as well as off-the-field for even more precise laboratory verification of adulteration levels of marked products.
- the dilution of drugs is particularly troublesome because dilution can lead to ineffectiveness of the drug. Moreover, dilution can lead to the lack of use of a therapeutic dose leading to the lack of preventive and/or therapeutic activity of the diluted material. For example, it will be extremely useful to authenticate and/or quantify drugs not only for humans for also for other animals, such as, chickens, pigs and calves.

- the marking methods according to the present invention are particularly suited for marking bulk products destined to human or animal application or use, in particular products selected from the group of products comprising alcoholic beverages, perfumes, cosmetic products, and pharmaceutical or veterinary preparations or petroleum products.
- the variation of pH for changing the fluorescence characteristics of the components in the blend of components is a pH variation of 2 to 6, and can be a pH variation of 2 to 4.5.
- the pH can be adjusted by adding an acid that does not cause a decay in fluorescence, such as hydrosulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
- the components are preferably inert and non-deleterious to the material.
- the sample for performing the test can be prepared in any manner wherein the components can be determined in the sample.
- the material can be combined with a solvent to extract at least a portion of the alkaloid from the material.
- the material can be combined with the solvent to obtain an aliquot of about 0.0001 to 3 weight %, based upon the weight of the total weight of the aliquot.
- the solvent can be aqueous or non-aqueous or organic or mixtures thereof, and preferably is water.
- a marked material which comprises an alkaloid blend which is present in a concentration of 0.00001 to 0.3% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, preferably 0.0003 to 0.01% by weight, more preferably 0.0001 to 0.001% by weight.
- the marked material can be selected from alcohol, medicinal and/or veterinary preparation, perfume, liquid, cosmetic liquid formulation, and fuel.
- an alkaloid in a liquid material composition for determining whether or not a liquid material has been subject to diversion or adulteration wherein the concentration of the alkaloid blend is between 0.00001 to 0.3% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, preferably 0.0003 to 0.01 %, more preferably 0.0001 to 0.001% by weight.
- Macro lide antibiotic solution is a drug that can be used for the treatment of respiratory infections in animals, such as in chicken and turkey flocks.
- Marking and use of the product Macrolide antibiotic solution can be marked with a blend of components, such as alkaloids, such as a blend of quinine hydrochloride and harmine or harmane to provide a total weight of the blend of, for example, 0.1 to 0.3% by weight.
- alkaloids such as a blend of quinine hydrochloride and harmine or harmane to provide a total weight of the blend of, for example, 0.1 to 0.3% by weight.
- Macrolide antibiotic solution can be diluted in potable water for livestock/nursery animals (especially chickens, but also pigs and calves), with variable dilution depending on the animals involved (up to 0.03 wt% of Macrolide antibiotic/water corresponding to concentrations of about 1 ppm or less of quinine in the water)
- Second alternative authentication • After item 4 above, proceed with a stepped dissolving of the halogen salt (for example, CI, Br, I) in the medicated water aliquot, which will have a dynamic quenching effect (collision between the molecules) on the quinine fluorescence.
- the halogen salt for example, CI, Br, I
- fluorescence intensity will have a curve that is going to be specific to the fluorophore (quinine) and to the type of quencher (salt) used. The measurement of this curve makes it possible to authenticate the presence of the marker.
