Abstract:
... Ready-to-drink teas can provide, if properly packaged, the taste and wellness character of traditional teas. Nevertheless, in tea processing, there may be several contaminations, among which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), anthropogenic contaminants that can present carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. In this work, a novel low-density deep eutectic solvent-based dispersive liquid-liqui ...
... Laboratory measurements of intrinsic clearance support the development of TK models, with potential relevance to weight of evidence toxicity assessments of xenobiotics, including read-across, the concept of predictive estimation by data extrapolation between chemicals of similar structure (analogues).In this work a procedure with analytical method for determination of in vitro hepatic metabolic cl ...
... Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are gut microbiota metabolites recognized for their beneficial effects on the host organism. In this study, a simple and rapid sample preparation method combined to SCFAs analysis by direct injection and gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), for the determination and quantification of eight SCFAs (acetic, propionic, i-butyric, butyric, ...
... Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are end-products of intestinal bacterial fermentation. The concentrations of fermentation metabolites are closely related to the microbial activity that occurs in various digestive compartments. The fermentation products may vary qualitatively and quantitatively, especially within the colon. The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME), an in vit ...

Abstract:
... In an effort to improve separation of impurities in oligonucleotide drugs, alkyl amines of different length and carbon content were evaluated as reagents in ion pair-reversed phase (IP-RP) HPLC with mass spectrometric detection. A range of columns was tested in combination with different buffers, ion-pair modifiers and varying pH adjustments. For phosphorothioate oligonucleotides, larger amines, l ...

Abstract:
... Short and medium fatty acids derived from either dietary sources, gut microbiota, and liver production might play a role in the modulation of metabolism and inflammation. The outcome of different autoimmune or inflammatory diseases could be related to microbiota composition and consequently fatty acids production. Their analytical detection, historically completed by GC, was herein investigated us ...
... A rapid and eco-friendly method was developed to extract and pre-concentrate sulfonamides (sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine and sulfadimethoxine) from chicken meat before high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The method involved rapid microwave-assisted extraction with hydrochloric acid (pH = 5), further solid phase purification using HLB cartridge and 5% ammonium hydroxide, and homogeneous ...
... The MS hyphenation performance of UniSpray®, a new design of atmospheric pressure ionization source was evaluated in both SFC and RPLC modes. Sensitivity, stability, versatility and matrix effects offered by the UniSpray were assessed in positive and negative ionization modes and systematically compared to an electrospray source (ESI) using 120 natural compounds covering an extended chemical space ...
... A new absorbance detector for capillary electrophoresis featuring relatively high intensity light-emitting diodes as radiation sources and photodiodes for the deep-UV range was developed. The direct relationship of absorbance values and concentrations was obtained by emulating Lambert-Beer's law with the application of a beam splitter to obtain a reference signal and a log-ratio amplifier circuitr ...
... In this work, we propose a microextraction method based on a new supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS) made up of reverse aggregates of hexanoic acid, combined with liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/QQQ MS–MS) for the determination of the perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in blood serum. A SUPRAS is a nano-structured liquid made up of surfactant aggregates synthesized through ...
... Volatile constituents in wine and brewed coffee were analyzed using a combined system incorporating both GC-olfactometry (GC-O) and comprehensive two-dimensional GC-flame ionization detection (GC×GC-FID). A column set consisting of a 15m first dimension (¹D; DB-FFAP (free fatty acid phase)), and a 1.0m ²D column (DB-5 phase) was applied to achieve the GC×GC separation of the volatile extracts isol ...
... To characterize the aroma of cherry wine, five samples were analyzed by quantitative descriptive sensory analysis, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O). The aroma of cherry wines was described by 6 sensory terms as fruity, sour, woody, fermentation, cameral and floral. Fifty-one odor-active (OA) compounds were detected by GC–O and quantified by GC ...
... This study is an in-depth investigation on how numerical optimization strategies that also account for the additive type and concentration, in preparative batch chromatography, should be performed. As a model system, the separation of Z-(R,S)-2-aminobutyric acid enantiomers on a quinidine carbamate-based chiral stationary phase in polar organic mode was used, with different additive strengths of a ...
... Free medium-chain fatty acids in beer originate from raw materials, mainly from the fermentation activity of yeasts, and can influence beer taste, vitality of yeasts and also the foam stability of beer. This study presents the development of the method for the determination of free fatty medium-chain acids including caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid and lauric acid in beer or wort using sti ...
