Analytical monitoring of the production of biodiesel by high-performance liquid chromatography with various detection methods.

Gradient elution reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for the determination of compounds occurring during the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil. Individual triacylglycerols (TGs), diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols and methyl esters of oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids and free fatty acids were separated in 25 min using a combined linear gradient with aqueous-organic and non-aqueous mobile phase steps: 70% acetonitrile+30% water in 0 min, 100% acetonitrile in 10 min, 50% acetonitrile+50% 2-propanol-hexane (5:4, v/v) in 20 min and 5 min final hold-up. Another method with a non-aqueous linear mobile phase gradient [from 100% methanol to 50% methanol+50% 2-propanol-hexane (5:4, v/v) in 15 min] was used for fast monitoring of conversion of rapeseed oil triacylglycerols to fatty acid methyl esters and for quantitation of residual TGs in the final biodiesel product. Sensitivity and linearity of various detection modes (UV detection at 205 nm, evaporative light scattering detection and mass spectrometric detection) were compared. The individual sample compounds were identified using coupled HPLC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry in the positive-ion mode.     

蔗糖酯的合成研究进展

综述了蔗糖酯的合成方法及工艺的研究进展,并对其反应机理进行了阐述.蔗糖酯的合成方法主要有四种:溶剂法、微乳化法、无溶剂法以及酶催化法.溶剂法采用DMF或DMSO为溶剂,但是这两种溶剂均有毒,限制了蔗糖酯在食品等行业的应用.微乳化法采用丙二醇或水代替溶剂法所使用的有毒溶剂,并加入乳化剂,使反应体系近似为均相体系.无溶剂法则是通过在反应体系中加入乳化剂或表面活性剂等使熔融相成均一相,反应平稳.但是一般无溶剂法反应温度较高,反应不易进行,产率低,且产品质量得不到保证.酶催化合成法是一种新的生物合成方法,采用生物酶代替传统的催化剂合成蔗糖酯,该法催化活性高、反应条件温和、选择性强、产物易分离等优点.文中还对蔗糖酯粗品的纯化工艺进行了介绍.     

Determination of organophosphate esters in air samples by dynamic sonication-assisted solvent extraction coupled on-line with large-volume injection gas chromatography utilizing a programmed-temperature vaporizer

An on-line method for the determination of airborne organophosphate esters based on dynamic sonication-assisted solvent extraction and large-volume injection (LVI) gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorous detection is introduced. The LVI is performed with a programmed-temperature vaporizer. The entire extracted fraction of 800 microl (hexane-methyl-tert.-butyl ether, 7:3, v/v) is introduced directly into the GC system without any clean-up step following extraction. The extraction and analysis step were completed in less than 15 min. The limit of detection of the investigated organophosphate esters was established to be in the range of 5-32 pg/filter. The correlation coefficients (r2) were investigated in the linear range study of the entire system and established to be approximately 0.9900 for all the investigated organophosphates esters. Applications of the method was demonstrated with the extraction of air samples collected onto glass fiber filters from different indoor environments. Six organophosphate esters were found at the levels 0.4-138 ng/m3.     

Magnetic nanoporous carbon as an adsorbent for the extraction of phthalate esters in environmental water and aloe juice samples

In this work, magnetic nanoporous carbon with high surface area and ordered structure was synthesized using cheap commercial silica gel as template and sucrose as the carbon source. The prepared magnetic nanoporous carbon was firstly used as an adsorbent for the extraction of phthalate esters, including diethyl phthalate, diallyl phthalate, and di‐n‐propyl‐phthalate, from lake water and aloe juice samples. Several parameters that could affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the limit of detection of the method (S/N = 3) was 0.10 ng/mL for water sample and 0.20 ng/mL for aloe juice sample. The linearity was observed over the concentration range of 0.50–150.0 and 1.0–200.0 ng/mL for water and aloe juice samples, respectively. The results showed that the magnetic nanoporous carbon has a high adsorptive capability toward the target phthalate esters in water and aloe juice samples.

A rapid and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for determination of coenzyme Q10 in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves

A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method with multiple reaction monitoring has been proposed for the analysis of coenzyme Q10 in (CoQ10) tobacco leaves. The method used electrospray ionization with detection in positive ion mode. Sample pretreatment involved ultrasonic extraction of fresh tobacco leaves with anhydrous ethanol for 15 min and followed by extraction of the supernatant with hexane. The separation of CoQ10 was performed on a Symmetry Shield RP18 column with a mixture of acetonitrile and isopropanol (8:7, v/v) containing 0.5% formic acid as mobile phase. Quantification of CoQ10 was performed by the standard addition method. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation of CoQ10 were, respectively, 1.2 ng/mL (S/N = 3) and 4.0 ng/mL (S/N = 10). The relative standard deviations of peak area were 0.91% and 1.21% for intra-day and inter-day, respectively. The recoveries of CoQ10 ranged from 98.2 to 99.3% and the corresponding RSDs were less than 2.4%. Analysis took 5 min, making the method suitable for rapid determination of CoQ10 in tobacco leaves. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of CoQ10 in the leaves from eight varieties of tobacco.     

Immunomagnetic separation and detection of Salmonella cells using newly designed carriers

A new method for simultaneous determination of alkoxyethanols (2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-isopropoxyethanol, and 2-butoxyethanol) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection has been developed. The alkoxyethanols and an internal standard (2-phenoxyethanol) were derivatized by treatment with 1-anthroylnitrile to give the anthroyl esters. The esterification was completed in 30 min in the presence of quinuclidine as base catalyst at room temperature. After stopping the reaction, an aliquot of the final solution was injected into the HPLC. The resulting anthroyl esters of the alkoxyethanols and the internal standard were separated on a C18 reversed-phase column with acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (65:35:0.1, v/v) as the mobile phase and detected fluorimetrically at excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 nm and 460 nm, respectively. The detection limits of the derivatives as alkoxyethanols at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were in the range of 1-3 pg per injection. The minimal amounts of alkoxyethanols derivatized in the reaction mixture for derivatization to determine the limits of detection were approximately 0.5 ng. This HPLC method was applied to the determination of some of alkoxyethanols in the air of the workplace where the thinner containing alkoxyethanols was used for painting.     

Simultaneous separation and determination of 16 testosterone and nandrolone esters in equine plasma using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for doping control

The potential for using testosterone and nandrolone esters in racehorses to boost the biological concentrations of these steroids and enhance athletic performance is very compelling and should be seriously considered in formulating regulatory policies for doping control. In order to regulate the use of these esters in racehorses, a sensitive and validated method is needed. In this paper, we report such a method for simultaneous separation, screening, quantification and confirmation of 16 testosterone and nandrolone esters in equine plasma by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Analytes were extracted from equine plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using a mixture of methyl tert-butyl ether and ethyl acetate (50:50, v/v) and separated on a sub-2 micron C(18) column. Detection of analytes was achieved on a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer by positive electrospray ionization mode with selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Mobile phase comprised 2 mM ammonium formate and methanol. Deuterium-labeled testosterone enanthate and testosterone undecanoate were used as dual-internal standards for quantification. Limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 25-100 pg/mL and 100-200 pg/mL, respectively. The linear dynamic range of quantification was 100-10,000 pg/mL. For confirmation of the presence of these analytes in equine plasma, matching of the retention time with mass spectrometric ion ratios from MS/MS product ions was used. The limit of confirmation (LOC) was 100-500 pg/mL. The method is sensitive, robust, selective and reliably reproducible.     

Elimination of matrix effects for headspace solid-phase microextraction of important volatile compounds in red wine using a novel coating

In this paper, hydroxy-terminated silicone oil-butyl methacrylate-divinylbenzene (OH-TSO-BMA-DVB) copolymer was first synthesized and used as stationary phase with the aid of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxylsilane (KH-570) as bridge in solid-phase microextraction (SPME) using sol–gel method and cross-linking technique. It has high extraction efficiency for both polar alcohols and fatty acids and nonpolar esters in comparison with commercial PDMS, PDMS-DVB and PA fibers. A simple and sensitive headspace SPME-gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC) method using the novel fiber was presented for the simultaneous analysis of both polar alcohols and fatty acids and nonpolar esters in wine. To check the matrix effects, various model wine matrices, including distilled water; 11.5% ethanol/water (v/v) solution; a concentrated synthetic wine; a ‘volatile-free’ wine and a real wine were investigated in detail. Matrix effects were compensated for by using internal standard method and selecting the ‘volatile-free’ wine as working standard. The method presented in this study showed satisfactory linearity, precision, detection limits and accuracy. The recoveries obtained ranged from 85.87 to 104.2%, and the relative standard deviation values were below 9%. The results obtained indicated that the present method is a validated and accurate procedure for the simultaneous determination of both polar and nonpolar aroma compounds in wine.     

Isolation and determination of estrogens in water samples by solid‐phase extraction using molecularly imprinted polymers and HPLC

Advanced SPE with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was used in this study. A noncovalent imprinting approach was applied to separate 17β‐estradiol, estriol, and estrone from water samples. Polymer material was prepared by bulk polymerization with methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, divinylbenzene and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as crosslinkers, and acetonitrile, acetonitrile/toluene (3:1, v/v) or isooctane/toluene (1:99, v/v) as a porogen. We also prepared an MIP film on a silica gel surface with methacrylic acid and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as monomers and acetonitrile as a solvent. Qualitative and quantitative hormone analyses were carried out by HPLC with various detection techniques, including UV/visible spectroscopic detection (diode array detection) and electrochemical detection (CoulArray). The results of the study indicate that MIP technology is an excellent method for the quality control of estrogens in environmental analyses with a low quantification limit for 17β‐estradiol of around 26 (diode array detection) and 0.25 ng/mL (electrochemical detection). The proposed method was found to be suitable for routine determinations of the analyzed compound in environmental laboratories.     

Rapid analysis of non-esterified fatty acids as methyl esters from different biological specimens by gas chromatography after one-step esterification

A rapid gas chromatographic method for the determination of medium-chain and long-chain free fatty acids (C14:0 to C24:0 fatty acids) from different biological specimens is presented. After a rapid one-step transesterification method in methanol-acetyl chloride (50:1, v/v), fatty acid methyl esters were extracted into n-hexane and analysed on a 15-m Durabond-Wax column within a 12-min chromatographic run. The detection limit is 500 pg per injection.     

Forward and backward extractions of cytochrome c using reverse micellar system of sucrose fatty acid ester

The effects of solvent, pH, and ionic strength on the reverse micellar extraction of cytochrome c have been examined, when sucrose fatty acid esters were employed as surfactants of reverse micelles. The transparent and stable reverse micellar organic phase was formed, when the mixture of isooctane and n-butanol (7:3 v/v) was used as the bulk organic phase. The high forward extraction ratio was obtained under mild alkaline and low ionic strength conditions, while the high backward extraction ratio was obtained for acidic pH values or at high ionic strength. The activity of cytochrome c recovered from the reverse micellar phase was sufficiently retained.     

Measurement of 19-nortestosterone and its esters in equine plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

A high-performance liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (HPLC/MS/MS) method for the determination of 19-nortestosterone and its esters (cyclopentanepropionate, phenylpropionate, and decanoate) in equine plasma is achieved using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) interface in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The two internal standards used were 16,16, 17-(2)H(3)-19-nortestosterone for 19-nortestosterone and methenolone acetate for its esters. The steroids studied were extracted from plasma samples with a mixture of diethyl ether/n-hexane (9:1, v/v). The quantification limits for 19-nortestosterone, 19-nortestosterone cyclopentanepropionate, 19-nortestosterone phenylpropionate, and 19-nortestosterone decanoate were 0.16, 5.0, 0.1, and 2.0 ng/mL, respectively, when 2 mL of plasma were used. The recoveries of most of the steroids were 71.6-101.0% except for the decanoate, which could be recovered to about 39.8%. The responses were linear, with correlation coefficients varying from 0.9897 to 0.9999 in the concentration range of 0.1 to 50.0 ng/mL for the steroids studied. When applied to equine (mare) plasma samples, the present method allowed detection of 19-nortestosterone up to 23 days after an intra-muscular injection of 400 mg as the decanoate.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of cholesteryl esters in the blood of obese children.

The serum of obese children and adolescents was analyzed for cholesteryl esters. The test substances were first separated from the sample matrix by solvent extraction and thin-layer chromatography and then resolved in a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic system involving a Separon SGX C18 column and a mobile phase of 2-propanol-acetonitrile (40:60, v/v), with ultraviolet detection at 206 nm. Cholesterol and 10-cholesteryl esters could be separated and determined within ca. 25 min at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min. The method was applied to a study of the effect of external conditions (physical stress, diet) on the content of cholesteryl esters in a test group of obese boys and girls aged from 13 to 16 years. The analyses have demonstrated that the above conditions do not affect the concentrations of the individual cholesteryl esters, although the total cholesterol concentration decreased significantly after spa treatment.

High-performance liquid chromatography method to measure alpha- and gamma-tocopherol in leaves, flowers and fresh beans from Moringa oleifera

A high-performance liquid chromatography method for the microscale determination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol in leaves, flowers and fresh beans from Moringa oleifera is reported. The method includes microscale saponification and extraction with n-hexane. Optimized conditions for reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection were as follows: column, 25 cm x 0.46 cm, Exil ODS 5-microm; column temperature, 25 degrees C; mobile phase, a 20:80 (v/v) mixture of methanol:acetonitrile; flow rate, 1.0 ml/min. With these conditions, method precision (relative standard deviation) was 5.6% for alpha-tocopherol and 4.9% for gamma-tocopherol. We used this method to measure alpha- and gamma-tocopherol in samples from M. oleifera as part of nutritional studies in edible plants cultivated in the Northwest México.     

Preparation of novel solid-phase microextraction fibers by sol-gel technology for headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatographic analysis of aroma compounds in beer

3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) was first used as precursor as well as selective stationary phase to prepare the sol-gel-derived TMSPMA-hydroxyl-terminated silicone oil (TMSPMA-OH-TSO) solid-phase mircroextraction (SPME) fibers for the analysis of aroma compounds in beer. TMSPMA-OH-TSO was a medium polarity coating, and was found to be very effective in carrying out simultaneous extraction of both polar alcohols and fatty acids and nonpolar esters in beer. The extraction temperature, extraction time, and ionic strength of the sample matrix were modified to allow for maximium sorption of the analytes onto the fiber. Desorption temperature and time were optimized to avoid the carryover effects. To check the matrix effects, several different matrices, including distilled water, 4% ethanol/water (v/v) solution, a concentrated synthetic beer, a "volatile-free" beer and a real beer were investigated. Matrix effects were compensated for by using 4-methyl-2-pentanol as internal standard and selecting the "volatile-free" beer as working standard. The method proposed in this study showed satisfactory linearity, precision and detection limits and accuracy. The established headspace SPME-gas chromatography (GC) method was then used for determination of volatile compounds in four beer varieties. The recoveries obtained ranged from 92.8 to 105.8%. The relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 5) for all analytes were below 10%. The major aroma contributing substances of each variety were identified via aroma indexes.     

Glycidyl fatty acid esters in food by LC-MS/MS: method development

An improved method based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the analysis of glycidyl fatty acid esters in oils was developed. The method incorporates stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA) for quantifying the five target analytes: glycidyl esters of palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2) and linolenic acid (C18:3). For the analysis, 10 mg sample of edible oil or fat is dissolved in acetone, spiked with deuterium labelled analogs of glycidyl esters and purified by a two-step chromatography on C18 and normal silica solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges using methanol and 5% ethyl acetate in hexane, respectively. If the concentration of analytes is expected to be below 0.5 mg/kg, 0.5 g sample of oil is pre-concentrated first using a silica column. The dried final extract is re-dissolved in 250 μL of a mixture of methanol/isopropanol (1:1, v/v), 15 μL is injected on the analytical C18 LC column and analytes are eluted with 100% methanol. Detection of target glycidyl fatty acid esters is accomplished by LC-MS/MS using positive ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization operating in Multiple Reaction Monitoring mode monitoring 2 ion transitions for each analyte. The method was tested on replicates of a virgin olive oil which was free of glycidyl esters. The method detection limit was calculated to be in the range of 70-150 μg/kg for each analyte using 10 mg sample and 1-3 μg/kg using 0.5 g sample of oil. Average recoveries of 5 glycidyl esters spiked at 10, 1 and 0.1 mg/kg were in the range 84% to 108%. The major advantage of our method is use of SIDA for all analytes using commercially available internal standards and detection limits that are lower by a factor of 5-10 from published methods when 0.5 g sample of oil is used. Additionally, MS/MS mass chromatograms offer greater specificity than liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry operated in selected ion monitoring mode. The method will be applied to the survey of glycidyl fatty acid esters in food products on the Canadian market.     

Surface Activity and Critical Aggregation Concentration of Pure Sugar Esters with Different Sugar Headgroups

We have studied the surface properties of a series of enzymatically synthesized sugar monoesters of xylose, galactose, sucrose, and lactose with different hydrophobic chain lengths (C12-C16) and purified, chemically synthesized sucrose esters that, unlike the enzymatically synthesized samples, contain a mixture of isomers. Data obtained have been compared with those for dodecanoic glucoside and maltoside acetals, and also a commercial sucrose myristate. Nearly all of the sugar esters studied brought about a significant reduction of the surface tension of water (to 31.0-43.0 mN m(-1)). A reduction in the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of the surfactants with increasing carbon chain length was observed. Surfactants with more hydrophilic headgroups exhibited higher CAC, though this trend was moderated by the alkyl chain length. Comparing the chemically synthesized sucrose esters with their enzymatically synthesized equivalents revealed only minor differences in the CAC and the surfactant efficiency, indicating that the exact point of esterification might not be critical for the surfactant's properties. The presence of 0.1 M NaCl, KCl, or CaCl(2) did not significantly alter the surface behavior of the chemically synthesized esters, indicating the absence of surface-active species with charged headgroups.
