A simple colorimetric method of estimation of thiamine from various pharmaceutical formulations is reported. Thiamine forms a yellow coloured complex with para-aminophenol in ammonia medium. The complex is extracted in chloroform (lambda max. 430 nm). The Beer's law is obeyed from 1.5 to 10 micrograms/ml.
