Use of capillary gas chromatography/sensory analysis as an additional tool for sampling technique comparison in peach aroma analysis

Capillary GC/sensory analysis was used to judge if dynamic headspace on sliced pulp and on intact fruit, and solvent extraction could collect the “character impact” and the “contributory” aroma compounds in peaches. Capillary GC/sensory data showed that the headspace techniques selectively recovered the “contributory” volatile compounds, which are strictly related to the characteristic odor of the various peach cultivars, whereas solvent extraction better quantified the “character impact” compounds (lactones).

Nucleophilic reactivity of the peroxide anion in aqueous-alcoholic solutions in the presence of detergents

The reactivity of hydroxide and peroxide anions with 4-nitrophenyl N,N-dimethylcarbamate in aqueous-alcoholic detergent media and in “oil in water” microemulsions has been studied. Aqueous-alcoholic solutions of cationic (CTAB) and neutral (Triton X-100) surface active substances have promise for decomposition of substrates by a nucleophilic mechanism. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 358–363, November–December, 2007.     

Potentiometric studies on the complexation of copper(II) by phenolic acids as discrete ligand models of humic substances

Studies on the complexation of copper(II) by phenolic acids, as ligand models of humic substances were done by potentiometry. The acids under study were: 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid or hydrocaffeic acid (1), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (2) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid or protocatechuic acid (3). Acidity constants of the ligands and the formation constants of metal-ligand complexes were evaluated by computer programs. The carboxylic group of the phenolic acids has different pK_a1 values, being the dissociation constants intrinsically related with the distance between the function and the aromatic nucleus. The results obtained allow concluding that acidity constants of the catechol moiety of the compounds are similar with pK_a2 and pK_a3 values between 9.47-9.41 and 11.55-11.70. The complexation properties of the three ligands towards copper(II) ion are quite similar, being the species found not different either in nature or stability. Although the model ligands have some structural differences no significant differences were found in their complexation properties towards copper(II). So, it can be postulated that complexation process is intrinsically related with the presence of a catechol group.     

Lamiaceae carbohydrates. 1. Pectinic substances and hemicelluloses from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Mentha x piperita</Emphasis>

Pectinic substances from the aerial part of Mentha x piperita were isolated and characterized and found to be a mixture of β-(1→4)-glucogalactan (MPG) and two α-(1→4)-rhamnopolygalacturonans (MPP′-1 and MPP′-2). It was shown that the pectin and its components exhibited membrane-stabilizing, antiatherogenic, and antioxidant activity. Hemicelluloses from M. piperita were a lignocarbohydrate complex. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 411–416, September–October, 2007.

采用不同极性的SPME萃取吸附了当归的挥发性有机物,并用GC-MS定性和相对定量,比较了不同萃取时间和不同萃取温度下所获得的挥发性有机物的差异。结果表明:藁本内酯和α-蒎烯是其主要成分。随着萃取时间的延长,α-蒎烯含量逐渐减少,藁本内酯含量逐渐升高;随着萃取温度的升高,低沸点化合物含量逐渐减少,高沸点化合物含量逐渐增加。     

支撑液膜在线萃取流动注射光度法测定水中挥发酚

酚类污染物是一类重要的污染物，对很多水生生物有毒，并且可通过食物链进行生物富集，因此，挥发酚的检测对环境污染控制和环境保护具有重要意义。苯酚是中国环境优先监测物中6种酚类物质之一。酚类物质的测定方法主要有气相色谱法、液相色谱法、光度法等。4-氨基安替比林（4-AAP）分光光度法是目前国际上普遍采用的标准方法，但该方法操作繁琐。如将此法应用于流动注射自动分析，虽然可以省去繁琐的操作，但废水中其它离子的干扰严重，必须进行预蒸馏才能进行测定，且检测限高，不能满足低浓度分析检测的需要。     

Degradative analysis of aquatic fulvic acid: CuO oxidation versus pyrolysis after tetramethylammonium hydroxide treatments in air and helium atmospheres

The structural composition of Nordic aquatic reference fulvic acid was investigated using chemical and thermal degradation methods: alkaline CuO oxidation and analytical pyrolysis after tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) pretreatment. Off-line procedures of the TMAH treatments were carried out under both air and helium atmospheres, with the aim of clarifying the effect of oxygen. Irrespective of the fact that the chemical and thermal degradation methods gave qualitatively quite similar basic products (mainly phenols and phenolic acids together with aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids), they also revealed their unique selectivity and efficiency for releasing different kinds of structural constituents. The results verify the formation of additional carboxyl functionality in the CuO oxidation. However, some similar oxidative reactions also appeared to take place during the pretreatment procedures of strongly basic TMAH, especially under an air atmosphere. The use of inert and protective atmosphere during the TMAH pretreatment is therefore recommended for producing more relevant structural information about the complex composition of humic substances.
