Gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric investigation of the chemical composition of beebread

2009

Beebread consumption has a very long tradition; however, its composition and bioactive properties have not been studied thoroughly up to now. This study is expected to expand the knowledge of chemical composition of this bee product as a natural remedy and functional food ingredient. With the help of successive extraction with organic solvents of different polarity, more than 200 compounds were extracted from five samples of beebread and then identified by GC-MS method. The content of some phenol compounds (p-coumaric acid, kaempherol, isorhamnetin) with antioxidant properties has been determined quantitatively. Different content of free aminoacids have been detected in the analyzed samples…

Gas phase chromatography of halides of elements 104 and 105

1992

On-line isothermal gas phase chromatography was used to study halides of261104 (T1/2=65 s) and262,263105 (T1/2=34 s and 27 s) produced an atom-at-a time via the reactions248Cm(18O, 5n) and249Bk(18O, 5n, 4n), respectively. Using HBr and HCl gas as halogenating agents, we were able to produce volatile bromides and chlorides of the above mentioned elements and study their behavior compared to their lighter homologs in Groups 4 or 5 of the periodic table. Element 104 formed more volatile bromide than its homolog Hf. In contrast, element 105 bromides were found to be less volatile than the bromides of the group 5 elements Nb and Ta. Both 104 and Hf chlorides were observed to be more volatile tha…

Über die Verwendung von homogenen azeotropen Gemischen in der Dünnschichtchromatographie 8. Mitt.: Gaschromatographische Untersuchung einiger Fließmi…

1970

Homogene azeotrope Gemische wurden vor und nach ihrer Benutzung als Fliesmittel in der DC gaschromatographisch untersucht. Hierbei zeigte sich, das bei hohem Anteil an polaren Komponenten (> 15%) keine veranderung in der Zusammensetzung der Fliesmittel eintrat. Eine gewisse Abreicherung der polaren Komponenten war jedoch festzustellen, wenn deren Anteil klein sowie der Polaritatsunterschied der Einzelkomponenten gros war und die DC-Platten eine grosere Schichtdicke als 0,1 mm besasen. Homogeneous Azeotropic Mixtures in Thin-layer Chromatography Homogeneous azeotropic mixtures have been analyzed by gas chromatography before and after they were used as solvents in TLC. If polar components wer…

Fast authentication of tea tree oil through spectroscopy

2018

Two new procedures, based on infrared spectroscopy in the near infrared (NIR) and mid infrared (MIR), have been developed for the authentication of tea tree oil (TTO) commercial samples. Infrared measurements were made on untreated samples by transmission NIR and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) followed by partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). These methods offer a fast and low cost alternative to enantiomeric two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass detection usually employed to discriminate between authentic and non-authentic samples. In these studies, a set of 267 samples, including authentic and non-authentic labelled tea tree oil samples, were used to build …

Seafood freshness determination through vapour phase Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

2006

Abstract A new vapour-phase manifold has been developed to determine trimethylamine (TMA) in fish and cephalopod samples by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Samples were treated off-line for 1 h with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), filtered and washed. The obtained extracts were aspirated and alkalinized with NaOH 2.0 M, in an on-line system. TMA was separated from the solution in a gas phase separator and then transported by means of a nitrogen carrier into a home made 10 cm pathlength IR gas cell, where the corresponding FT-IR spectra were acquired by accumulating 30 scans per spectrum with 2 cm−1 nominal resolution. The method was applied to the determination of TMA in natura…

Thermally Induced Isomerisation Kinetics of the 9c11t and 10t12c Conjugated Linoleic Acids in Triacylglycerols as Studied by FT-IR Spectrometry Aided…

2014

Published version of an article from the journal:The Open Spectroscopy Journa. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/1874383801004010041. Open Access Isomerisation kinetics of the 9c11t and 10t12c Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) in triaclglycerols at isothermal conditions (250, 280 and 325oC) has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. Fifteen micro liter portions of the glycerides were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen. Several glass tubes containing the same triacylglycerols were then subjected to thermal treatment. The glass tubes were removed at regular time intervals, cut open, and a part of the contents in each glass tube analysed by infrare…

Gel permeation Chromatography in coiled columns

1973

Whereas in gas chromatography the use of coiled columns is the usual procedure, in liquid chromatography the use of straight columns is favoured. Bent columns give an additional contribution to peak spreading which is of greater importance in liquid chromatography than in gas chromatography owing to smaller diffusion coefficients. The low linear velocities of the mobile phase used in gel permeation chromatography enable conditions to be found where the additional contribution of bending to peak spreading is small. In the separation of oligomers, columns of 2-mm tube diameter and 20-cm coil diameter were used. With total lengths of 10 and 20 m, theoretical plate counts of ca. 70,000 and 150,…

Thermal degradation of novolac resins by pyrolysis-gas chromatography with a movable reaction zone

1999

Abstract A previously described, a pyrolysis device with a movable reaction zone was used in the present work for thermal degradation of novolac resins. The products of thermal reactions were analysed by pyrolysis–GC. Owing to the heating of reaction zone to the maximal temperature of the chromatographic column, the high boiling pyrolysis products could be analysed. Bisphenols and trisphenols with aromatic rings coupled by methylene bridges and its methyl derivatives have been found among the compounds. The structure of the heavy pyrolysis products has been confirmed using GC–MS.

Glass capillary gas chromatography of methyl, methyl 2-chloro and chloromethyl esters of C2-C20n-carboxylic acids

Gas-liquid chromatographic analyses

1984

A mixture of all nine chlorinated 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes and the parent homologue was separated on a non-polar SE-30 capillary column using various isothermal and temperature-programmed operating conditions. The relative retention data for the compounds are given and the retention indices together with the retention index increments for each position of chlorine substitution are examined. The retention order 3-Cl<parent<2,5-di-Cl<2,3-di-Cl<3,5-di-Cl<2-Cl<2,3,5-tri-Cl<2,3,6-tri-Cl<2,6-di-Cl<tetra-Cl isomer obtained indicates that the effect of the position of substitution on the retention behaviour is greater than that of the number of chlorine atoms. The retention is maximal with 2-Cl and 2…
