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.…
Improving the solid-phase extraction of “quat” pesticides from water samples
1998
A novel strategy, based on the addition of a cationic surfactant, for preventing the interferences associated with a diminution in the efficacy of solid-phase extraction (SPE) with silica cartridges of diquat, paraquat and difenzoquat in water is developed. Conditions for extraction are optimised with respect to pH, cationic surfactant and its concentration. Humic acids, anionic surfactants, inorganic salts and other organic contaminants like pesticides, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls produce the studied interferences. The best performance is shown in the improvement of the "quats" recovery from waters with high levels of humic acids and anionic surf…
Critical study of and improvements in chromatographic methods for the analysis of type B trichothecenes
2001
Various analytical methods used in the analysis of type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3- and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol) in cereals were compared and optimised in this work. These methods use either GC-electron-capture detection (ECD) of trimethylsilyl, trifluoroacetyl and heptafluorobutyryl derivatives or HPLC with UV or photodiode array detection of analytes. A new HPLC procedure using fluorescence detection prior derivatisation with coumarin-3-carbonyl chloride has been also tested. Five extraction solvents and two solid-phase extraction cartridges (silica, Florisil) plus a especial clean-up column (MycoSep 225) were compared in order to obtain the best recovery of the mycoto…
Solid-Phase Extraction of Organochlorine Pesticides from Water Samples
1990
Abstract A procedure for the accumulation of organochiorine pesticides by reversed-phase adsorption on octadecylsilica glass microcolumns was used for the isolation and concentration from spiked distilled and natural waters. The pesticides were eluted from the octadecylsilica with light petroleum, and analyzed by gas chromatography using an electron capture detector. The average recovery was over 90% in spiked water samples at 0.1 ng/ml. The performance of the octadecylsilica when applied to the analysis of water samples were compared with the Rodier and the APHA solvent extraction methods.
Multicomponent solid dispersion as a formulation strategy to improve drug permeation: A case study on the anti-colorectal cancer irinotecan
2019
Abstract Multicomponent solid dispersions (MSD)s are frequently proposed as efficient drug delivery systems to improve drug solubility and bioavailability. In this study, the effects of specific excipients, such as mannitol, inulin, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic)acid (PMMA) and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) have been tested to potentially improve irinotecan (IRN) permeation in the intestinal tract with the intention to protect the drug from the gastric environment. MSDs were formulated as microparticles by Spray-Drying technique. Raw materials and microparticles have been characterized by FTIR analysis to determine hydrogen bonding. SEM images were recorded to investigate morp…
Effect of solvents on the selectivity of terbutylazine imprinted polymer sorbents used in solid-phase extraction
2002
A solid-phase extraction sample preparation method using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) selective for the triazine type pesticide terbutylazine has been developed. The method involves preconcentration from large volumes of water samples on a C18 disk coupled to selective clean-up on the MIP. The method has been optimised by studying the recovery and retention of terbutylazine and some other structurally related triazine derivates as a function of the selective washing solvent used. The effect of the water content of the selective washing solvent was also investigated on the recovery of the MIP. River water samples were analysed with the coupled technique, and efficient clean-up of th…
Pressurized liquid extraction of organic contaminants in environmental and food samples
2015
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) is an automated technique that uses elevated temperature and pressure to achieve exhaustive extraction from solid matrices, so reducing solvent consumption and enhancing sample throughput when compared with traditional procedures. Hence, it can be considered an environment-friendly technique, generating small volumes of waste and reducing costs and time. This review focuses on application of this green technique to the analysis of organic contaminants in food and environmental matrices for monitoring purposes. We examine fundamentals and key aspects of the development of a PLE method, including pressurized hot-water extraction, together with some relevant…
Ionic Liquid Based Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography for the Determination of Volatile Polar Organic Compounds
2010
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with an ionic liquid (IL) coating was developed for headspace extraction of a group of low molecular weight alcohols (ethanol, n-propanol, butanol, and isopropyl alcohol), acetone, ethyl acetate, and acetonitrile. A first SPME fiber was simply coated with a dedicated IL whose synthesis is described. A second SPME fiber was prepared by gluing silica (Si) particles on which the synthesized IL was chemically bonded. The analytes SPME extraction was optimized for time, temperature, and NaCl salting out content. The headspace extracted analytes were determined by simple temperature desorption into the hot injection port of a gas chromatograph. The coated-IL fib…

A simple protocol for extraction and detection of pyrazines produced by fungi in solid state fermentation
1992
A protocol for the extraction and detection of pyrazines produced by fungi in Solid State Fermentation that gave good recovery of these compounds was devised together with specific techniques for detection by Gas Chromatography (GC). The protocol involved solid-liquid and liquid-liquid extractions, concentration of the extracts and GC analysis. Extraction yields were measured from a model system in which synthetic pyrazines were added. Extracts were analysed with a gas chromatograph equipped with a thermo-ionic detector to allow specific pyrazine detection.
