Mori et al reported a highly sensitive spectrophotometric determination of 
benzoyl peroxide (BPO) based on the color developing reaction between 
N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and BPO in the presence of 
Ce(IV) in weakly acidic media. In their report, the calibration graph is 
linear in the range 0-6000 ng BPO per 10 mL with an apparent molar 
absorptivity of 4.73 E+05 l/(mol cm) at 612 nm. The proposed method is ~50-
fold more sensitive than N-ethyl-2-naphthylamine (NENA), and application 
to assays of flour is described.

For detailed procedure, please see their paper.
