Univariate near infrared methods for determination of pesticides in agrochemicals
2006
Abstract It has been developed a general strategy for the determination of pesticides in agrochemicals by Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. The methodology is based on previous extraction of the active principles through sonication with acetonitrile and direct determination by transmission measurements, using glass vials as measurement cells and univariate calibration at selected wavenumbers as a function of the pesticide to be analyzed. Chlorsulfuron, metamitron, iprodione, pirimicarb, procymidone and tricyclazole were used as test molecules and data obtained by FT-NIR for 20 samples containing one of these active principles compare well with those found by reference l…
Determination of cyromazine in pesticide commercial formulations by vibrational spectrometric procedures
2004
Two vibrational spectrometry-based methodologies were developed for Cyromazine determination in solid pesticide formulations: a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) procedure, based on the extraction of Cyromazine by CH3OH and direct determination in the extracts by peak height measurement at 1622 cm−1 corrected using a baseline defined at 1900 cm−1, and a FT-Raman determination, made directly on the powdered solid products using standard chromatographic glass vials as sample cells and measuring the Raman intensity between 633 and 623 cm−1 for a baseline established between 663 and 601 cm−1. The sensitivity obtained was 0.01631 absorbance g−1 mg for FTIR determination and 2.23 area values g−1 …
Direct injection of edible oils as microemulsions in a micellar mobile phase applied to the liquid chromatographic determination of synthetic antioxi…
1999
Abstract A simple and quick procedure for analysis of hydrophobic samples by direct injection in a liquid chromatograph, without previous extraction, has been developed. The sample is solved in a water/sodium dodecyl sulphate/n-pentanol microemulsion without destroying the microemulsion structure, and injected. A micellar mobile phase containing 0.1 M SDS, 2.5% n-propanol and 10 mM phosphate of pH 3 is used. The procedure is applied to the determination of synthetic antioxidants (propyl gallate, tert-butylhydroquinone, 2,4,5-trihydroxybutyrophenone, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, octyl gallate, 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and dodecyl gallate) in sunflower, corn and olive oils. Linear calibrat…
Application of ACC method to synchronous luminiscence: determination of alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate in beverages.
2001
A new method based on the Q parameter, that permits the determination of the C(compound A)/C(compound B) ratio without preparing calibration graphs of the two compounds, is proposed. This method has been applied to signals obtained by synchronous luminiscence. Simultaneous determination of alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate in beverages using synchronous fluorescence has been carried out. To isolate the compounds from samples, liquid extraction with n-hexane as the organic phase was employed. The presence of interferences was tested using the apparent content curves (ACC) method and the C(alpha-tocopherol)/C(alpha-tocopheryl acetate) ratio was calculated using the Q parameter. Th…
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…
Fast extraction methodologies for the determination of toxic arsenic in meat
2017
Summary A nonchromatographic analytical procedure has been developed for the determination of arsenic in meat samples including the major toxic arsenic species arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimetylarsinic acid (DMA). The method is based on the extraction of arsenic species in mild conditions, selective trivalent hydride formation and final determination by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HG-AFS). Different extractant agents and two different procedures, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound assisted extraction at room temperature, were evaluated for As species extraction. The method provided a limit of detection of 0.013 ng mL−1 and a…
A headspace solid-phase microextraction method of use in monitoring hexanal and pentane during storage: Application to liquid infant foods and powder…
2006
The determination of two secondary lipid oxidation compounds (hexanal and pentane) in liquid infant foods using a headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatographic (HS-SPME-GC) method has been developed and validated. The HS-SPME analytical conditions (fibre position, equilibration and sampling times) were selected. The analytical parameters of the method (linearity: hexanal from 2.48 to 84.78 ng/g, pentane from 6.21 to 79.55 ng/g; precision: hexanal 2.87%, pentane 2.343.46%; recovery: hexanal 106.60%, pentane 95.39%; detection limit: hexanal 3.63 ng and pentane 4.2 ng) demonstrate the usefulness of the method. Once optimized, the method was applied to liquid infant foods based on m…
Mid- and near-infrared determination of metribuzin in agrochemicals
2008
Abstract Two infrared-based methodologies were developed for metribuzin determination in pesticide formulations after extraction with acetonitrile. Fourier transform mid infrared (MIR) procedure was based on peak area measurements between 1692 and 1670 cm −1 corrected with a baseline fixed at 1877 cm −1 . Fourier transform near infrared (NIR) determination was made by measuring the peak area between 6498 and 6332 cm −1 corrected using a two points baseline defined between 6570 and 6212 cm −1 . Repeatability, as relative standard deviation, of 5 independent measurements at mg g −1 concentration level was 0.3% and 0.03% for MIR and NIR, respectively, and limit of detection values of 9 and 17 …
Development of a molecularly imprinted monolithic polymer disk for agitation-extraction of ecgonine methyl ester from environmental water
2019
Abstract In this study, a new extraction approach based on rotating molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) disks was developed. The preparation procedure of MIP-disk is simple. Firstly, in order to immobilize MIP onto the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) disk, previous modification and vinylization steps of this fluoropolymer were conducted. Then, MIP synthesis was done by in situ polymerization. The resulting MIP was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Afterwards, two ring magnets were placed in the sides of the MIP-disk to integrate the stirring and preconcentration of sample in just one step. To demonstrate the feasibility of t…
High-performance liquid chromatography of lactose with evaporative light scattering detection, applied to determine fine particle dose of carrier in …
2005
A method for quantification of the fine particle dose of lactose is described, using a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) method and evaporative light scattering detection. The HILIC method used an aminopropyl column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitril/water (80/20, v/v) for isocratic elution. Sensitive chromatography was obtained using a low concentration of water in the extraction solvent. The detection limit (RSD10%) at an injection volume of 10 microL is 10 microg/mL. Linearity was obtained in the range of 10-80 microg/mL (R(2)0.99). A relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.5% (N=6) demonstrated good precision of the optimized method.
