On-line preconcentration strategies for analyzing pesticides in fruits and vegetables by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
2007
Five pesticides (fludioxonil, procymidone, pyriproxyfen, dinoseb and carbendazim) were separated in reversed migration micellar electrokinetic chromatography (RM-MEKC) using 20 mmol l(-1) phosphate buffer at pH 2.3, containing 25 mmol l(-1) sodium dodecylsulfate and 10% methanol. Three on-line concentration strategies, sweeping (SW), normal stacking with reversed migration and a water plug (SRW) and stacking with reverse migration and removal of sample matrix using polarity switching (SRMM), were compared. About 10-, 30- and 50-fold increases in detection sensitivity, compared with standard hydrodynamic injection (5 s at 0.5 psi), were observed with SW, SRW and SRMM, respectively. Limits of…
Off-line solid-phase microextraction and capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry to determine acidic pesticides in fruits.
2003
A method based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/ MS) is described for determining simultaneously five acidic pesticides (o-phenylphenol, ioxynil, haloxyfop, acifluorfen, picloram) in fruits. The CE device is coupled to an electrospray interface by a commercial sheath-flow adapter. Emphasis is placed on fulfillment of the speed and sensitivity requirements. The best separation is achieved using 32 mM ammonium formate/acid formic buffer at pH 3.1, with a working voltage of 25 kV. The MS detection of the five pesticides was performed in negative ionization mode. Full-scan spectra with base peaks corresponding to [M-H]- were obtained exce…
Identification of Leguminosae gums and evaluation of carob-guar mixtures by capillary zone electrophoresis of protein extracts.
2002
A procedure for the extraction and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separation of proteins from carob, guar and tara gums in a background electrolyte (BGE) of pH 9 containing 0.1% polyvinyl alcohol is described. The CZE protein profiles exhibit characteristic peaks for each one of the Leguminosae gums, which can be used to construct models capable of identifying samples of carob, guar and tara gums, and predicting the guar content in binary carob-guar mixtures of different geographical origin and harvested in different years. The classification and prediction models are constructed by using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and multiple linear regression (MLR), respectively. An excelle…
Determination ofl-Ascorbic Acid and Total Ascorbic Acid in Vascular and Nonvascular Plants by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
1998
A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) procedure for the determination of l-ascorbic acid (AA) and total ascorbic acid (TAA, as the sum of AA and dehydroascorbic acid) in vascular plants, lichens, bryophytes, and liverworts is described. The samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and extracted with 2% metaphosphoric acid. To determine AA, an aliquot was directly injected in a fused-silica capillary. The determination of TAA was performed upon its reduction with dl-homocysteine at pH 7. The background electrolyte contained 60 mM sodium chloride, 60 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 x 10(-4)% hexadimetrine bromide, and NaOH up to pH 7. The procedure was rapid and highly reproducible; the limi…
Direct determination of oleic acid in soybean oil by capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection capillary electrophoresis in an oil-misc…
2014
Este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver um método analítico direto e rápido para a determinação de ácido oleico em óleo de soja por eletroforese capilar com detecção condutométrica sem contato. O eletrólito de corrida empregado foi uma mistura metanol/1-propanol (1:6 v/v) contendo 4 × 10-2 mol L-1 de KOH e 10% (v/v) em etileno glicol. As amostras foram preparadas pela solubilização de 50 g L-1 de óleo de soja e 1,33 × 10-3 de ácido salicílico (padrão interno) no eletrólito de corrida. Os ensaios quantitativos foram realizados adicionando ácido oleico puro às amostras, na faixa entre 0,53 e 2,13 × 10-3 mol L-1. Sob polaridade negativa, os solutos aniônicos deslocaram-se mais rapidamente …
Pressurised liquid extraction and capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry for the analysis of pesticide residues in fruits from Valencian markets…
2010
Abstract A procedure based in capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE–MS) for the analysis of seven pesticides (flutolanil, simazine, haloxyfop, acifluorfen, dinoseb, picloram, and ioxynil) in four Mediterranean summer fruits with high water content (peaches, melon, watermelon, and apricot) is developed. Several conditions were studied for the optimisation of both, the separation and the electrospray (ESI) connection. The best results were obtained using 35 mM ammonium formiate (pH 9.7) as separation buffer, 20 °C as capillary temperature and 23 kV as applied voltage in an uncoated fused-silica capillary with 50 cm total length, 25 cm thermostated length, 25 cm at room temperature l…
Improvement of the electrophoretic protein profiles of Leguminosae gums extracts using gamanase and application to the evaluation of carob–guar mixtu…
2004
Abstract A quantitative assay for guar gum in carob gum, based on the extraction of proteins in acetonitrile–water (7:3), separation by capillary electrophoresis and multiple linear regression (MLR) using the areas of nine selected peaks as predictors, was improved by performing the extraction in the presence of gamanase. In the absence of the enzyme, peak migration times and areas depended on the guar content, which complicated peak identification and evaluation. Manual correction of the migration times by comparison with standard electropherograms obtained with pure carob and carob–guar mixtures was required; however, when the proteins were extracted under sonication at 60 °C for 30 min i…
Determination of -Ascorbic Acid in Lycopersicon Fruits by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
2001
This study shows an improved method for the determination of L-ascorbic acid (l-AA) in fruits of Lycopersicon by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Two backgrounds electrolytes (BGEs) have been tested: (i) 400 mM borate at pH 8.0 and 1 x 10(-2)% hexadimethrine bromide, for the separation of Eulycopersicon subgenus species; and (ii) as in BGE(i) but supplemented with 20% (v/v) acetonitrile, for the separation of species of the Eriopersicon subgenus. The present procedures were compared with two routine methods-enzymatic assay and potentiometric titration with 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol. While these routine methods presented some difficulties in quantifying l-AA in several Lycopersicon …
Simultaneous quantification of the main organic acids and carbohydrates involved in tomato flavour using capillary zone electrophoresis
2002
A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) procedure for the simultaneous determination of the major organic acids (oxalate, malate and citrate) and carbohydrates (fructose, glucose and sucrose) in Lycopersicon fruits is reported. Comparison of this method with routine HPLC methods indicates that the CZE method offers several attractive features (speed, resolution, sensitivity and cost) which significantly improve the determination of these compounds. Detection limits were better than 1.6 µg ml−1 for organic acids and from 13 to 24 µg ml−1 for carbohydrates; repeatabilities were better than 2.1% for migration times and between 1.4 and 7.3% for peak areas. The proposed protocol is very useful to…
Selective and sentivive method based on capillary liquid chromatography with in-tube solid phase microextraction for determination of monochloramine …
2015
Abstract Due to the difficulties of working with chloramines, a critical examination of monochloramine standard preparation has been performed in order to select the best synthesis conditions. The analyte has been determined by in-tube solid phase extraction coupled to capillary liquid chromatography with UV detection (IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD). Potential factors affecting the response of monochloramine such as the pH of mobile phase and the volume of sample processed by IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD have been investigated and optimized. According to the results of the study, 0.1 mL or 4.0 mL of sample at neutral pH were loaded in the chromatographic system. A sensitive and selective method has …
