... The efficiently extraction and accurately quantify of β-carotene and its metabolites are crucial for authenticity and traceability in goat milk. Nevertheless, its reliability can be largely improved. In this study, meticulously designed native ESI-MS, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking in combination with cold-induced acetonitrile aqueous two-phase separation system weaken the interac ...
... Honey is a natural product with a complex chemical composition consisting of sugars and other bioactive compounds. It is important in many traditional systems of medicine, exhibiting interesting bioactivities, in particular antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Authentication of botanical origin of honeys is particularly important in this context. Therefore, methods for quality ...

Abstract:
... The ability to detect the undeclared addition of a juice of lesser economic value to one of higher value (juice-to-juice debasing) is a particular concern between apple and pear juices due to similarities in their major carbohydrate/polyol profiles. Fingerprint compounds for the detection of this type of adulteration were identified in both commercial apple and pear juices by HPLC-PDA, were isolat ...
... The major components of honey are sugar and water, but some phenolic compounds may be responsible for honey quality. We investigated the effects of four reversed-phase (RP) and four reversed-phase and anion-exchange (RP-AE) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges as a pre-concentration technique for honey phenolics. Eleven acacia honey samples were collected from different apiaries of China and th ...
