ChemInform Abstract: Chemical Compounds and Toxicological Assessments of Drinking Water Stored in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles: A Source …

2012

A declaration of conformity according to European regulation No. 10/2011 is required to ensure the safety of plastic materials in contact with foodstuffs. This regulation established a positive list of substances that are authorized for use in plastic materials. Some compounds are subject to restrictions and/or specifications according to their toxicological data. Despite this, the analysis of PET reveals some non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) produced by authorized initial reactants and additives. Genotoxic and estrogenic activities in PET-bottled water have been reported. Chemical mixtures in bottled water have been suggested as the source of these toxicological effects. Furthermo…

Calix Crowns Derived from para-Bridged Calix[4]arenes

2000

Two calix[4]arenes, bridged by aliphatic chains of five and eight carbon atoms spanning two opposite para positions, have been converted into their 1,3-crown ether derivatives by reaction with tetraethylene and pentaethylene glycol ditosylates. Of the two possible 1,3-crown derivatives, only the formation of those isomers is observed in which the phenolic units connected at the para positions are etherified. This has been established in one case by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Preliminary results for the extraction of selected alkali and alkaline-earth metals are reported.

New Glass Capillary Gas-Chromatographic Methods for Metabolites in Urine and Serum

1981

The analytical system suggested in this paper is a further development of pre-chromatographic methods and of column switching techniques described in previous papers1,2,3.In order to use modern gas-chromatographic techniques for the determination of metabolites in urine and serum quick and reliable pre-chromatographic methods for extraction, concentration and derivatization must be developed which give final (dosage) volumes of 5 to 10 μl with starting sample volumes of 0.1 ml of urine or 5 ml of serum as described by Dunges4.

Bestimmung von Tri-n-butylphosphat in Plasmapräparaten nach Festphasenextraktion und Kapillar-Gaschromatographie

1988

A simple method for the quantitative determination of tri-n-butylphosphate in blood plasma preparations is described. The sample is passed through an octadecyl extraction column from which tri-n-butylphosphate is eluted with chloroform. By capillary GC 50 micrograms/l tri-n-butylphosphate can be detected with a recovery of more than 90%.

Determination of Homovanillic Acid in Human Plasma Using HPLC with Electrochemical Detection and Automated Solid Phase Extraction

1993

Abstract An isocratic HPLC method with electrochemical detection for the quantification of homovanillic acid (HVA) is described. The method included automated solid phase extraction on C-18-reversed phase material, followed by separation on a 3-μm Nucleosil 100 C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm I. D.) with a 100 mM citric acid solution (pH 6.6) containing 4% acetonitrile (v/v) as eluent at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. Isovanillinic acid served as internal standard. Extractability of both analytes was ca. 80 %. After extraction of 1 ml of plasma, coefficients of variation of replicate analyses were below 10 % in the naturally occuring concentration range.

Determination of aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics in meat by pressurized liquid extraction and LC-ESI-MS

2010

A simple method for the simultaneous determination of dihydrostreptomycin, spectinomycin, spiramycin, streptomycin, tilmicosin, and tylosin in meat has been developed using pressurized liquid extraction and LC-triple quadrupole MS (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The pressurized liquid extraction operational parameters were optimized and no protein precipitating and fat removing steps were required. A gradient HPLC separation was developed with ion-pair mobile phases consisting of aqueous 1 mM heptafluorobutyric acid water and methanol. Protonated molecules were used as precursor ions for CID. Data acquisition under MS/MS was achieved by applying multiple reaction monitoring of three fragment ion transition…

Comparative assessment of solid-phase extraction clean-up procedures, GC columns and perfluoroacylation reagents for determination of type B trichoth…

2005

Abstract Various solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedures for clean-up, two perfluoroacylation reagents (pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA) and heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA)) and two chromatographic columns (HP-1701 and HP-5) have been assessed comparatively to achieve the determination of type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), 3- and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3- and 15-ADON)) in wheat grain by gas chromatography (GC)–electron-capture detection (ECD). Spiked wheat samples were extracted with acetonitrile–water (84:16, v/v). Tested SPE procedures were MycoSep 225 column, Florisil and different cartridges prepared in the laboratory with mixtures of various sorben…

Potential use of pulsed electric technologies and ultrasounds to improve the recovery of high-added value compounds from blackberries

2015

Abstract A better knowledge of the effect of non-conventional extraction technologies, which can avoid the use of high temperatures and toxic solvents, on the antioxidant compounds recovery from blackberries, is necessary. Thus, high voltage electrical discharges (HVED), pulsed electric fields (PEF), and ultrasounds (USN) treatments were applied in order to evaluate the effects of processing on protein, total phenolics and anthocyanins extraction from blackberries. Moreover, two-stage extraction involving the use of HVED, PEF and USN as pre-treatments and supplementary extraction during 5 h with hot water at mild temperature (50 °C) or an hydroalcoholic solution (30% ethanol, w/w) was evalu…
