Nondestructive analysis of single rapeseeds by means of Raman spectroscopy

The value of different vegetable oils can be correlated with the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially omega‐3‐fatty acids such as linolenic acid, because of their contribution to healthy nutrition. One expression for the degree of unsaturation is the iodine value normally measured with gas chromatography. The use of Raman spectroscopy allows a rapid calculation of the iodine value and, in addition, only in a minimal sample volume. Therefore, this method can be used in single rapeseeds in order to predict the iodine value before harvesting. Additionally, the method can also be used for breeding investigations. Here, the lipid content and composition of a plant can be predicted by measuring the seedling without destruction. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

油菜籽中主要硫甙的分离提纯

用柱色谱方法从甘蓝型油菜籽中分离提纯了1-硫［(1Z)-3-羟基-1-［(磺酸基)亚氨基］-4-戊烯基］-1-硫代-β-D-葡萄糖钾盐(progoitrin)。用甲醇溶液提取菜籽中的硫甙,得到粗提物;粗提物经酸性氧化铝色谱柱与反相C18硅胶柱进一步分离提纯,得到纯品。对纯品进行紫外光谱、红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱、质谱和元素分析,测得的数据与文献值相符。用高效液相色谱测得硫甙提取物的纯度为99%。该方法操作简便,得到的硫甙样品纯度高,是一种有价值的硫甙提取方法,具有良好的应用前景。     

Comparison of Different d-SPE Sorbent Performances Based on Quick,Easy, Cheap,Effective, Rugged,and Safe (QuEChERS) Methodology for Multiresidue Pesticide Analyses in Rapeseeds

Pesticide extraction in rapeseed samples remains a great analytical challenge due to the complexity of the matrix, which contains proteins, fatty acids, high amounts of triglycerides and cellulosic fibers. An HPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the quantification of 179 pesticides in rapeseeds. The performances of the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method were evaluated using different dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) sorbents containing common octadecylsilane silica/primary–secondary amine adsorbent (PSA/C18) and new commercialized d-SPE materials dedicated to fatty matrices (Z-Sep, Z-Sep⁺, and EMR-Lipid). The analytical performances of these different sorbents were compared according to the SANTE/12682/2019 document. The best results were obtained using EMR-Lipid in terms of pesticide average recoveries (103 and 70 of the 179 targeted pesticides exhibited recoveries within 70–120% and 30–70%, respectively, with low RSD values). Moreover, the limits of quantification (LOQ) range from 1.72 µg/kg to 6.39 µg/kg for 173 of the pesticides. Only the recovery for tralkoxydim at 10 μg/kg level was not satisfactory (29%). The matrix effect was evaluated and proved to be limited between −50% and 50% for 169 pesticides with this EMR-Lipid and freezing. GC-Orbitrap analyses confirmed the best efficiency of the EMR-Lipid sorbent for the purification of rapeseeds.
