Capillary electrophoresis for analyzing pesticides in fruits and vegetables using solid-phase extraction and stir-bar sorptive extraction.
2005
Two procedures based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) in combination with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)--diode array detection (DAD) were compared for the simultaneous extraction of acrinathrin, bitertanol, cyproconazole, fludioxonil, flutriafol, myclobutanil, pyriproxyfen, and tebuconazole in lettuce, tomato, grape, and strawberry. Selectivity and resolution of the MEKC procedure were studied changing the pH and the molarity of the buffer, the type and the concentration of surfactant, and the methanol content in the mobile phase. A buffer consisting of 6 mM sodium tetraborate decahydrate with 75 mM of cholic acid sodium solution (pH 9.…
Study of kinetics of the d-pinitol extraction from carob pods using supercritical CO2
2014
Abstract There is a growing interest in the use of d -pinitol ( d -3-O-methyl-chiro-inositol) as a food supplement, thus the use of green and efficient process, such as the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), to isolate d -pinitol from vegetable raw materials is also an interesting area of research and development. The objective of this work was to study the influence of operating conditions on the SFE of d -pinitol from carob pods. The crucial parameters in SFE, like temperature, pressure, CO 2 flow rate and duration of the process, have been studied. Finally, Naik and Barton models have successfully tested in order to fit the experimental extraction curves.
Resolution assessment and performance of several organic modifiers in hybrid micellar liquid chromatography
2001
The performance of four criteria that measure the elementary resolution (modified selectivity, modified RS, peak purity, and orthogonal valley-to-peak ratio) was critically assessed using as global resolution function, the product of elementary measurements. The peak purities and valley-to-peak criteria yielded the best description of the overall separation according to the shape of the resolution surfaces compared to the peak arrangements in the chromatograms, the capability of defining unambiguously the composition regions of complete resolution, and the resolution achieved in the predicted optimums. Peak purities were used to compare the effect of five organic modifiers (1-propanol, 1-bu…
Determination of water-soluble vitamins in energy and sport drinks by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography
2016
Abstract A method for the determination of water-soluble vitamins in several energy and sport drinks by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) has been developed in this work. The separation of vitamins was studied in terms of background electrolyte composition (borate content, pH, surfactant type and content) and in other MEKC parameters. A study of the possible compounds found in the vitamin-enriched drinks that could interfere in vitamin determination was also performed, and a modified procedure with enhanced resolution was developed. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of water-soluble vitamins in a variety of energy and sport drinks and also in fruit nec…
Quantitation of hydrophobicity in micellar liquid chromatography
1999
Abstract Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is shown to be a promising technique for measuring the hydrophobicity of solutes. The presence of micelles has a profound effect on the chromatographic characteristics of reversed-phase columns. The linear relationships between the logarithm, log k , of the retention factor and such diverse properties as the number of carbon atoms in homologous series, octanol–water partition coefficients and solvatochromic parameters, which are observed in conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), are not usually valid in MLC. For series of compounds exhibiting a wide range of hydrophobicity, k itself is linearly related to these properties. The…
Supercritical Fluid Adsorption of Domperidone on Silica Aerogel
2013
Silica aerogel (SA) was loaded with domperidone to demonstrate the potentiality of adsorption processes based on the usage of supercritical carbon dioxide to treat poorly water-soluble drugs, forming new kinds of drug delivery systems. The effects of pressure, temperature and solution concentration on loaded SA were studied. Adsorption isotherms were measured at 35℃ and 45℃ and fitted with Langmuir model. Release kinetics of the adsorbed drug were also evaluated by in vitro dissolution tests. Results showed that domperidone can be uniformly dispersed into the aerogel and that the release rate of domperidone from the composite, constituted by drug and silica aerogel, is much faster than that…
Determination of procaine and tetracaine in plasma samples by micellar liquid chromatography and direct injection of sample
2001
A liquid chromatographic procedure is proposed for the determination of procaine and tetracaine in plasma samples with direct injection. The method uses a Spherisorb octadecylsilane ODS-2 C18 analytical column and a micellar mobile phase containing 0.15 M sodium dodecyl sulphate, 0.5% triethylamine at pH 2.5 and 10% propanol. The UV detection was carried out at 300 nm. Plasma sample preparation required only adequate dilution with the mobile phase before injection into the chromatographic system. The proposed method allows the determination of procaine and tetracaine in plasma at therapeutic levels.
Screening of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors by CE after enzymatic reaction at capillary inlet.
2009
In this study the development of a procedure based on capillary electrophoresis after enzymatic reaction at capillary inlet methodology for the screening and in vitro evaluation of the biological activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors is presented. The progress of the enzymatic reaction of the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine at pH 8 in the presence of AChE and the inhibitor studied is determined by measuring at 230 nm the peak area of the reaction product thiocholine (TCh). In the method employed the capillary was first filled with 30 mM borate-phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and subsequently, plugs of: (i) water, (ii) AChE solution, (iii) substrate solution with or without inhibitor,…
Quantitative retention- and migration-toxicity relationships of phenoxy acid herbicides in micellar liquid chromatography and micellar electrokinetic…
2001
Abstract The need to obtain a tool for estimation of toxicity parameters for chemicals supports, the postulation of predictive models as an alternative to conventional classical assays. The use of micellar solutions of Brij35 as mobile phases in reversed phase liquid chromatography has proven to be valid in predicting some biological activities of different kinds of drugs. In this paper, the correlations between retention of phenoxy acids using different concentrations of Brij35 as micellar mobile phase in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) and migration in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with several toxicity parameters are studied. Adequate correlations retention- and migr…
Kinetic study of the release of aroma compounds in different model food systems
2007
Abstract Kinetics of release as a function of time from different model food matrices (mineral water, an oil-in-water emulsion, a carbohydrate matrix and a complex matrix containing lipids and carbohydrates) were measured at 37 °C for four flavour compounds. Carbohydrate matrix and complex matrix were elaborated to have a similar rheological behaviour. Flavour compounds belonging to the strawberry flavour note were chosen: a homologous series of ethyl esters (C4, C6 and C8) and a ketone (C5). The influence of the nature of flavour compounds on the kinetics of release was studied. On the other hand, the influence of the composition of the matrix on the kinetics of release was pointed out. Fr…
