Renewable polyol obtained by microwave-assisted alcoholysis of epoxidized soybean oil: Preparation, thermal properties and relaxation process
2019
[EN] The soybean oil polyol (SOP) use as feedstock in the polyurethane industry has been recently emphasized due to its excellent resistance to hydrolysis, which is also applicable in coatings and thermal insulation. In this article, the SOP was obtained by a very fast microwave-assisted alcoholysis of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO). The preparation method, thermal properties, and relaxation process were evaluated. High yields as opening and consumption epoxy group and selectivity of 99.8 mol%, 985 mol%, and 71.2 mol% were obtained. Through titrations, nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography were identified parameters as 0.32 mg KOH.g(-1) acid number, 190 mg KOH.g(-1) hyd…
One-Pot Analysis: a New Integrated Methodology for Determination of TAG and FA Determination through LC/MS and in-silico Saponification
2017
Vegetable oils differ significantly for their lipid profile and are mainly constituted by triacylglycerols (TAGs). These are esters formed bonding glycerol to three fatty acids (FAs). To the best of our knowledge, FA and TAG profiles in oils and fats are obtained using at least two different experimental techniques. In particular, FA determination requires elaborated procedures for sample preparation and analyte derivatization. In this work, we propose a one-pot analysis able to determine both TAG and FA contents of edible oils, using experimental data obtained from a simple liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry determination of TAGs. This experimental procedure is followed by an in silic…
Über Hydroxy‐linolsäuremethylester und die Umsetzung von Linolsäuremethylester mit N‐Bromsuccinimid
1962
Hydroxy-linolsauremethylester wird durch selektive Reduktion von Linolsauremethylester-hydroperoxyd mit Na-Sulfit u. a. dargestellt. Die Autoxydation des Hydroxy-linolsauremethylesters verlauft nicht autokatalytisch und ist nach Aufnahme von 1 Mol Sauerstoff pro Mol Substanz nahezu beendet. Die Reaktionsprodukte sind relative niedermolekular. Die Reaktion von Linolsauremethylester mit N-Bromsuccinimid konnte durch Umsetzung des instabilen Reaktionsproduktes mit Silbernitrat weitgehend aufgeklart werden. About Hydroxy Methyl Linoleate and the Reaction of Methyl Linoleate with N-Bromosuccinimide Hydroxy methyl linoleate is prepared by selective reduction of methyl linoleate hydroperoxyde with…
Identification and quantification of carotenoids including geometrical isomers in fruit and vegetable juices by liquid chromatography with ultraviole…
2004
A method was established for the identification and quantification of carotenoids including geometrical isomers in fruit and vegetable juices by liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet−diode array detector, using a C18 Vydac 201TP54 column. The mobile phase used was the ternary methanol mixture (0.1 M ammonium acetate), tert-butyl methyl ether and water, in a concentration gradient, and a temperature gradient was applied. Retinol palmitate was added as an internal standard. An extraction process (ethanol/hexane, 4:3, v/v) was performed, followed by saponification with diethyl ether/methanolic KOH (0.1%, w/v, BHT) (1:1, v/v) for 0.5 h at room temperature. Seventeen different (cis and trans…
Review: Determination of Vitamin D in Dairy Products by High Performance Liquid Chromatography
2005
This work reviews the methods used for the determination of vitamin D in some dairy products (milk and infant formulas) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The low vitamin D contents and the presence of interfering compounds require sample treatment and purification of the extract. The advantages and drawbacks of hot and cold saponification, direct extraction and different types of extract purification are also discussed, taking into account the lack of vitamin D stability by heating, exposure to light and oxidation. With respect to chromatographic determination, the mode (normal or reverse phase), type of column (microcolumn or conventional) and detection system (UV, electro…
Current methodologies for phytosterol analysis in foods
2021
Abstract Plant sterols (PS) (phytosterols and phytostanols) are bioactive compounds of all vegetable foods where can be found as free sterol alcohols and as conjugates. These latter forms have been less studied, although they may have potential beneficial effects, whereas some PS have several approved health claims, especially in lowering blood cholesterol levels. In this context, it is necessary to establish analytical methods for food authentication, assessing PS health benefits and unfolding future applications. Several extraction methodologies have been employed for the extraction of PS from food matrixes (usually solvent extraction and saponification) although solid-phase extraction, s…
Analysis of phytosterols in foods
2006
Phytosterols are bioactive compounds, one of their most studied and outstanding properties being their cholesterol-lowering activity. This explains the growing interest in the phytosterol contents of foods as either intrinsic or added components. The different steps (extraction, saponification, clean up, chromatographic determination) of plant sterol determination are reviewed, and emphasis is placed on the methods used to assay different phytosterols in food.
Liquid chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectrometric determination of cholesterol in animal greases
1997
Abstract Stearic acid, cholesterol and cholesteryl palmitate have been separated in less than 14 min by liquid chromatography on a column (3.9 mm i.d.×150 mm) of Nova-Pack C 18 (5 μm) using chloroform–acetonitrile (45 : 55) as mobile phase pumped at 0.5 ml min −1 ; Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was employed for both, general detection at 2868 or 2855 cm −1 and selective detection at 3285 cm −1 for stearic acid and 3526 cm −1 for cholesterol. In all cases a baseline established at 3900 cm −1 , 9-point smoothing and chromatographic peak height measurements were used. The method has been validated by application to the determination of cholesterol in animal greases and fish oi…
Microwave-assisted saponification of animal greases for cholesterol determination
1998
Abstract An alternative method for the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters in animal grease samples has been developed. The method consists of the microwave-assisted treatment of 4 g of animal fat or oil with 40 ml of an ethanolic KOH solution inside a 115 ml closed reactor in which samples were irradiated for 2.5 min at 50% power level of an exit power of 700 W. After extraction with petroleum ether and dissolution of the unsaponifiables in toluene, total cholesterol was determined spectrophotometrically by using p-anisidine as a test reagent of the enzymatic reaction of cholesterol through a bienzymic reactor in which cholesterol oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were noncovalently immobili…
Simultaneous quantification of serum phytosterols and cholesterol precursors using a simple gas chromatographic method
2012
Determination of the main phytosterols (Ps, β-sitosterol and campesterol) and cholesterol precursors (desmosterol and lathosterol) in human serum using a simple GC-FID method has been validated. Direct saponification, without lipid extraction, sterols extraction, and further derivatization was applied to samples prior to GC analysis. To evaluate the method, a pool of serum samples from eight healthy women was used. Good linearity (r>0.99) was found in the assay range: β-sitosterol (0.99–17.82 µg/mL), campesterol (0.14–10.8 µg/mL), desmosterol (0.17–2.6 µg/mL), and lathosterol (0.6–5.97 µg/mL). Limits of detection (ng/mL) were: 86 (β-sitosterol), 42 (campesterol), 4 (desmosterol), and 44 (la…
