RpeakChrom: Novel R package for the automated characterization and optimization of column efficiency in high-performance liquid chromatography analys…
2017
Characterization of chromatographic columns using the traditional van Deemter method is limited by the necessity of calculating extra-column variance, issue particularly relevant when modeling asymmetrical peaks eluted from monolithic columns. A novel R package that implements Parabolic Variance Modified Gaussian approach for accurate peak modeling, van Deemter equation and two alternatives approaches, based on van Deemter, has been developed to calculate the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP). To assess package capabilities conventional packed reverse-phase and monolithic HPLC columns were characterized. Peaks eluted from the monolithic column showed a high value of factor asy…
Determination of the four major surfactant classes in cleaning products by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using serially connected UV and evapo…
2016
Abstract A method for the simultaneous determination of the most frequently used surfactant families –linear alkyl benzenesulphonates (LAS), alkyl ether sulphates (AES), fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAE) and oleins (soaps, fatty acid salts) – in cleaning products, has been developed. The common reversed phase octyl (C8), pentafluorophenyl and biphenyl columns were not capable of separating the anionic LAS and AES classes; however, since only LAS absorbs in the UV, these two classes were independently quantified using a C8 column and serially connected UV and ELSD detection. The best compromise to resolve the four surfactant classes and the oligomers within the classes was achieved with a C8 c…
Separation of Proteic Primary Amino Acids under Several Reversed‐Phase Liquid Chromatographic Conditions
2006
Abstract The reversed‐phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) analysis of proteic primary amino acids with acetonitrile‐water, using pre‐column derivatisation with o‐phthalaldehyde (OPA) and N‐acetylcysteine (NAC), was compared with RPLC modes using trifluoroacetic acid or pentadecafluorooctanoic acid and evaporative light‐scattering detection, or sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles with pre‐ and post‐column derivatisation. The importance of column lifetime, risk of potential damages in the instrumentation, retention and resolution, was considered. Among the assayed approaches, the best is still aqueous‐organic RPLC with pre‐column derivatisation. It not only yields the most reliable results, but …
Risk assessment of beauvericin, enniatins and fusaproliferin present in follow-up infant formula by in vitro evaluation of the duodenal and colonic b…
2014
Abstract In this study, 72 samples of follow-up infant formula of Spanish origin were analyzed for the presence of the mycotoxins beauvericin (BEA), enniatins (ENs) (A, A1, B, B1), and fusaproliferin (FUS). The samples analyzed were extracted three times with ethyl acetate and then the mycotoxins were identified and quantified using a liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to a diode array detector (DAD). The positive samples analyzed in this study were digested through a simulated gastrointestinal digestion model, which permit to simulate the physiological condition of the human gastrointestinal tract (duodenal and colonic compartments) in order to assess the bioaccessibility of the bioactive …
Triacylglycerol Analysis in Human Milk and Other Mammalian Species: Small-Scale Sample Preparation, Characterization, and Statistical Classification …
2015
In this work, a method for the separation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) present in human milk and from other mammalian species by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using a core–shell particle packed column with UV and evaporative light-scattering detectors is described. Under optimal conditions, a mobile phase containing acetonitrile/n-pentanol at 10 °C gave an excellent resolution among more than 50 TAG peaks. A small-scale method for fat extraction in these milks (particularly of interest for human milk samples) using minimal amounts of sample and reagents was also developed. The proposed extraction protocol and the traditional method were compared, giving similar results…
