Test procedures for obtaining representative extracts suitable for reliable in vitro toxicity assessment of paper and board intended for food contact.
2009
International audience; This paper describes the use of a suite of extraction procedures applicable to the assessment of the in vitro toxicity of paper/board samples intended for food-contact applications. The sample is extracted with ethanol, water, or exposed to modified polyphenylene oxide (Tenax) for fatty, non-fatty and dry food applications, respectively. The water extracts are directly suitable for safety assessment using in vitro bioassays. The ethanol extracts of the paper/board and of the exposed Tenax require pre-concentration to give acceptable sensitivity. This is because the in vitro bioassays can tolerate only a small percentage of added organic solvent before the solvent its…
Safety Evaluation of Food contact paper and board using Chemical Tests and in vitro Bioassays-The role of known and unknown substances
2010
International audience; In vitro toxicological tests has have been proposed as an approach to complement the chemical safety assessment of food contact materials, particularly those with a complex or unknown chemical composition such as paper and board. An EU 5th framework program project “BIOSAFEPAPER – Application of bioassays for safety assessment of paper and board for food contact” specially focused on the application of biotests to paper and board. The project included both chemical characterization and toxicological testing of a representative number of paper and board extracts prepared according to the proposed end use (wet, fatty and dry food contact). Among the concerns addressed …
1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene diffusion in polystyrene solutions
1996
Self-diffusion coefficients of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (TIB) in binary solutions with polystyrene and ternary mixtures comprised of TIB, toluene, and polystyrene have been measured by static gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (SG-NMR) techniques. These data, as well as mutual-diffusion coefficient data measured by capillary column inverse gas chromatography (CCIGC), have been analyzed here with the Vrentas-Duda free-volume diffusion model. Although both binary and ternary diffusion coefficient data can be accurately correlated with the model, the results contradict those of an earlier investigation, which suggested that TIB diffuses as a single unit in polystyrene solutions. The new data…

Analytical comparison and sensory representativity of SAFE, SPME, and Purge and Trap extracts of volatile compounds from pea flour
2012
Pisum sativum is of great economic and nutritional interest due to its protein content. Nevertheless, pea products are underused as a protein source in human food because of their strong beany flavour. Therefore, the objective of this study was to select an efficient and representative method to extract volatile molecules of pea flour. In the first step, three extraction methods were chosen: solid phase micro extraction (SPME); Purge and Trap extraction and solvent assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE). The corresponding extracts were analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. In the second step, the sensory representativity of the extracts was assessed either by direct ga…
Inverse gas chromatography study of acid-base properties of cation resin used as catalysts of Bisphenol A synthesis
2001
The inverse gas chromatography method have been used for estimation of relative number of acid and base active centres for two type cation exchangers that are used as catalysts of Bisphenol A industrial synthesis. It was stated that after a few weeks of the continuous work of reactors filled with the catalysts, the acid-base properties of the latter have undergone significant changes. The number of acid centres decreased while the number of base centres increased. Simultaneously, the decreased of the yield of the synthesis product was observed.
Badanie właściwości inkluzyjnych p-tert-butylokaliksarenów metodą inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej
2007
Metodą QSRR scharakteryzowano właściwości inkluzyjne p-tert-butylokaliksarenów o 4, 6 i 8 merach w cyklu oraz ich octanów, wykorzystując do tego celu inwersyjną chromatografię gazową. W badaniach zastosowano przy tym dwa szeregi homologiczne solutów - alkohole alifatyczne oraz benzen i jego homologi. Stwierdzono, że zdolności inkluzyjne w znacznym stopniu zależą od wymiarów luki molekularnej cyklomeru. Zamiana w kaliksarenach grup wodorotlenowych na octanowe nie wywiera natomiast istotnego wpływu na możliwości tworzenia kompleksów typu gość-gospodarz. Wyniki uzyskane metodą QSRR potwierdzono wyznaczonymi wartościami indeksów Kovátsa.
Badanie metodą inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej wpływu wielkości podstawnika na właściwości inkluzyjne kaliksarenów
2009
Badano wpływ wielkości alifatycznego podstawnika na zdolności inkluzyjne kaliksarenów {kaliks[4]arenu(K4), p-izopropylokaliks[4]arenu (IPK4) i p-tert-butylokaliks[4]arenu (TBK4)}. Oceny wpływu dokonywano za pomocą metody QSRR przy użyciu inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej. W charakterze solutów użyto szeregu alifatycznych alkoholi, homologów benzenu i homologów pirydyny. Na podstawie indeksów retencji Kovatsa i wykresów zależności właściwej objętości retencji od temperatury wrzenia [Vg=f(Tw)] stwierdzono, że tylko podstawione kaliksareny wykazują właściwości inkluzyjne w stosunku do niższych alkoholi.
On what terms and why the thermodynamic properties of polymer solutions depend on chain length up to the melt
2003
Theoretical considerations based on chain connectivity and conformational variability of polymers have lead to an uncomplicated relation for the dependence of the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, chi, on the volume fraction of the polymer, phi, and on its number of segments, N. The validity of this expression is being tested extensively by means of vapor pressure measurements and inverse gas chromatography (complemented by osmotic and light scattering data from literature) for solutions of poly(dimethylsiloxane) in the thermodynamically vastly different solvents n-octane (n-C8), toluene (TL), and methylethylketone (MEK) over the entire range of composition for at least six different mol…

Abstract Chlorinated vanillins (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehydes) and syringaldehydes (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-benzaldehydes) were synthesized and their purities and structures were examined by quartz capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The detailed procedures for the synthesis, gas chromatographic separation and mass spectroscopic features are presented.
