Eugenol is an allyl chain-substituted guaiacol and finds variety of applications. Thus development of a validated UV spectrophotometric method will always be advantageous as the method is simple and rapid. The method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines Q2(R1) with respect to linearity and range, precision, accuracy, detection limit (DL) and quantitation limit (QL). The detection limit (DL) and quantitation limit (QL) were determined as per the ICH guidelines and were found to be 0.82 and 2.48 μg mL−1 respectively. The method is expected to be useful in a variety of industries where eugenol finds its application.
