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…
Thin-layer chromatography of chlorinated anisoles and veratroles
1989
The thin-layer chromatography of chlorinated anisoles (methoxybenzenes) and veratroles (1,2-dimethoxybenzenes) has been examined on silica gel G60 and RP-18 thin-layer plates. More than fifty solvent systems were screened and some of them recommended for particular separations. Acetone was shown to be suitable for group separation of both chlorinated anisoles and veratroles on a silica gel G60 stationary phase having a very narrow range of RF values. On the other hand, benzene, dichloromethane and the various mixtures of light petroleum (b.p. 40–60°C) and a more polar eluent (such as diethyl ether, acetone or ethyl acetate) were recommended for separation of certain individual isomers. The …
Liquid–liquid equilibria of the systems isobutyl acetate+isobutyl alcohol+water and isobutyl acetate+isobutyl alcohol+glycerol at different temperatu…
2008
Abstract In this work, experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the isobutyl acetate + isobutyl alcohol + water and isobutyl acetate + isobutyl alcohol + glycerol systems are presented. The LLE of both systems have been measured at 283.15 and 323.15 K. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to both ternary systems. The interaction parameters obtained from both models successfully correlated the equilibrium compositions. The experimental tie lines were compared to the values predicted by the UNIFAC method. Moreover, the solvent capabilities of water and glycerol were compared.
Flavans and other chemical constituents of Crinum biflorum (Amaryllidaceae)
2019
Abstract The ethyl acetate extract from the whole plant of Crinum biflorum Rottb. Showed a moderate activity against Enterococcus faecalis. Its phytochemical investigation led to the isolation of a new flavan-3-ol derivative namely (2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyflavan, together with (2S)-7-hydroxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyflavan, (2R,3R)-7-methoxy-flavan-3-ol, (2S)-7-hydroxy-3′,4′-dimethoxyflavan, 3′,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxyflavan, 4′,7-dimethoxy-3′-hydroxyflavan, farrerol, β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, oleanolic acid, kaempferol, pancratistatin, lupeol, aurantiamide acetate, Narciprimine and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl palmitate. Their structures were elucidated ma…
Improved detection of alkaloids in crude extracts applying capillary electrophoresis with field amplified sample injection
1997
Abstract A simple and effective method for the sensitive detection of alkaloids in crude plant extracts applying capillary electrophoresis with field amplified sample injection (FASI) is described. This method was compared with normal pressure injection for the determination of alkaloids in methanolic extracts from roots of Berberis vulgaris L. (Berberidaceae) and Hydrastis canadensis L. (Ranunculaceae) using a 1:1 mixture of 200 mM ammonium acetate at pH 3.1 and methanol. By introducing a short plug of 70% methanol (v/v) before electrokinetic injection with 16 kV for 8 s the concentration sensitivity was 1000-times higher compared to hydrodynamic injection for 1 s. No difference between bo…
Influence of the food matrix structure on the retention of aroma compounds.
2000
The retention of the aroma compounds in a multicomponent medium like the food matrix is influenced by their affinity with the protein when lipid is present at a low level (0.5%). The effect of the structure of the media is also studied by using two media with the same composition; one was emusified, and the other was not. Among the studied aroma compounds, 2-nonanone and isoamyl acetate present opposite behaviors: the volatility of isoamyl acetate is not affected by the change of the medium structure whereas that of 2-nonanone increases. The decrease of retention of 2-nonanone in an emulsified system would be due to a modification of the fixation site for this compound on the protein or to …
Induced secondary metabolites from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus versicolor through bacterial co-culture and OSMAC approaches
2018
Abstract Two new cryptic 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-(2H)-1-one (1-tetralone) derivatives, aspvanicin A (1) and its epimer aspvanicin B (2), as well as several known cryptic metabolites (3–8), were obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of the co-culture of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus versicolor KU258497 with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis 168 trpC2 on solid rice medium. When A. versicolor was cultured axenically in liquid Wickerham medium supplemented with 3.5% DMSO, an additional three known secondary metabolites (9–11) were isolated that were lacking when the fungus was fermented on rice medium. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using one- and two-dimensional NMR spec…
Liquid chromatographic–mass spectrometric determination of post-harvest fungicides in citrus fruits
2001
Liquid chromatography (LC)-atmospheric pressure ionisation (API)-mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to determine residues of five fungicides in oranges with a minimum sample cleanup. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) and electrospray (ES) were compared and both gave similar results in terms of sensitivity and structural information. The main ions were [M+H]+ for carbendazim, imazalil, thiophanate methyl and thiabendazole, and [M+H-C4H9NHCO]+ for benomyl. Samples were extracted with sodium sulphate and ethyl acetate. Although benomyl and thiophanate methyl were transformed through the extraction procedure to carbendazim, the method showed good precision (13%) and recovery (70…
Thermodynamic characterisation of novel solutions for closed-loop reverse electrodialysis
2018
Closed-loop reverse electrodialysis is a novel technology to convert low-grade heat directly into electricity. It consists of a reverse electrodialysis unit coupled with a regeneration unit in which the waste-heat is used to restore the initial conditions of the two solutions. One of the most impor- tant advantages of closed-loop system is the possibility to select an ad-hoc salt solution to obtain high efficiency. In this regard, it is important to assess how the salt solution properties affect the performance of the energy generation and solution regeneration processes. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of thermodynamic properties of non-conventional salt solutions within a R…
Increasing the levels of 2-phenylethyl acetate in wine through the use of a mixed culture of Hanseniaspora osmophila and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2009
The impact of mixed cultures of Hanseniaspora osmophila and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different initial yeast ratios on wine composition has been examined. The mixed culture significantly affected sugar consumption, the main enological parameters and ester concentrations, with the exception of glycerol, isoamyl acetate and diethyl succinate levels. Remarkably, in wines obtained with mixed cultures the concentration of 2-phenylethyl acetate was approximately 3- to 9-fold greater than that produced by S. cerevisiae pure culture. Moreover sensory evaluation revealed a stronger fruity character in wines fermented with mixed cultures than in control wines. Independently of the mixed culture …
