Several parameters of the vanillin assay were examined to determine which must be most closely controlled to ensure accuracy and reproducibility. A 20 min extraction in methanol was adequate. When corrected for background color, the modified vanillin assay gave nearly identical values with those obtained with the regular vanillin assay, except with group II sorghum. The reactions of tannin and catechin, the usual standard, with vanillin differed markedly in reaction kinetics. Assays of purified tannin showed that use of catechin equivalents overestimates tannin content. The assay was extremely temperature dependent. Revised procedures for the vanillin assay are presented which give excellent reproducibility.
