Distribution of volatile organic compounds in Sicilian groundwaters analysed by head space-solid phase micro extraction coupled with gas chromatograp…

2008

This work presents the results of an assessment of the existence and concentration of 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwaters from 14 hydrological basins in Sicily (25,710km (2)). On the basis of hydrological, hydrogeochemical and geological studies, 324 sampling points were selected. All groundwater sampled were collected twice, from October to December 2004 and from February to May 2005, and were analysed to determine the concentration and spatial distribution of the VOCs in the aquifers. The need to analyze a large number of samples in a short space of time so as to obtain quantitative analyses in trace concentration levels spurred us to create a new analytical method, both …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and Plasmalogens in diabetics

2012

Purpose Plasmalogens (PLS) are phospholipids characterized by a vinyl ether bond and a preferential esterification of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). We have previously shown that the lack of PLS leads to retinal hyper-capillarization. We hypothesize that PLS are negative regulators of vascular development, and aimed to check their circulating levels in diabetic patients. Methods Blood samples were collected from 88 patients and 14 control subjects. Among diabetics we had 14 patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR), 12 with a mild non proliferative DR, 12 with a moderate non proliferative DR, 22 with a severe non proliferative DR and 24 with a proliferative DR (PDR). Erythrocytes were…

Der acidolytische abbau von polyoxymethylenen. 18. Mitt. über polyoxymethylene

1962

Beim acidolytischen Abbau von Polyoxymethylendihydraten wurden gaschromatographisch folgende Substanzen identifiziert: Formaldehyd, Wasser, Methanol, Ameisensauremethylester sowie Tri- und Tetraoxymethylen. Die Ausbeute an cyclischen Oligomeren und das Verhaltnis Trioxan/Tetraoxymethylen hangen von der Saure, der Saurekonzentration und der Reaktionszeit ab. Es wird ein Abbaumechanismus vorgeschlagen und diskutiert. In the acidic degradation of polyoxymethylenes the following substances are obtained and identified by gas chromatography: formaldehyde, water, methanol, methyl formate, and also tri- and tetraoxymethylene. The yields of the cyclic oligomers and the ratio trioxane/tetraoxymethyle…

Gas chromatographic study of acetyl derivates of chlorinated guaiacols

1982

The gas chromatography of acetyl derivatives of guaiacol and all chlorinated guaiacols has been studied on SE-30, OV-351 and Carbowax 20M capillary columns. The retention order and relative retention times under isotermal and temperature-programmed conditions are discussed. Different retention times for all mono- and dichloro compounds have been observed on the SE-30 column. However, all trichloroguaiacol isomers were separated only on polar columns. The best overall temperature-programmed separations have been achieved on an SE-30 capillary column.

Validation of Methylmercury Determinations in Aquatic Systems by Alkyl Derivatization Methods for GC Analysis Using ICP-IDMS

2001

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), using an inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometer (ICPMS) and a species-specific methylmercury spike was applied to validate the commonly used GC method for methylmercury (MeHg+) determination, which is based on the formation of volatile methylethylmercury by derivatization with NaBEt4. The spike compound, Me201Hg+, was synthesized by reaction of 201Hg-enriched mercury chloride with methylcobalamin. By analyzing different environmental aquatic samples, it was found that in most cases, transformation of MeHg+ into elemental mercury (Hg0) took place. From investigations of synthetic solutions, it could be followed that halide ions are …

Quartz-capillary gas chromatography of chlorinated phenols and catechols

1983

The gas chromatography of all chlorinated phenols and catechols on a non-polar SE-30 quartz-capillary column has been studied. The relative retention times of the individual components are given and the elution order is discussed. All of the chlorophenols and chlorocatechols can be separated under appropriate operating conditions but simultaneous determination of all the compounds studied resulted in overlapping peaks. Theortho-effect in catechols is stronger than that in phenols. A different order of elution for the compounds studied to that of the corresponding acetate esters is found. Generally, longer retention times for the latter are observed.

Production of volatile compounds in model milk and cheese media by eight strains of Geotrichum candidum Link

1994

SummaryEight strains of Geotrichum candidum isolated from cheese were compared for aroma production. Twenty-four components, including alcohols, methyl ketones, fatty acids and esters, were identified by gas–liquid chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry of the volatile compounds produced by G. candidum cultures. Strains could be differentiated by their ability to produce dimethyldisulphide, phenol, phenylethanol and methyl ketones.
