Determination of synthetic phenolic antioxidants in essence perfume by high performance liquid chromatography with vortex-assisted,cloud-point extraction using AEO-9

This study aimed to establish a rapid analytical method to determine antioxidants in essence. A simple,efficient and practical, vortex-assisted, cloud-point extraction(VACPE) procedure is proposed for extracting and pre-concentrating four different of synthetic phenolic antioxidants(SPAs), propyl gallate(PG), tert-butylhydroquinone(TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) in essence prior to high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) analysis. The non-ionic surfactant, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether-9(AEO-9), was used as extractant and vortex-mixing was utilized to reduce extraction time and improve extraction efficiency. The effective parameters of the extraction process, such as volume of extraction solvent, pH, vortex-mixing time, equilibration temperature and time, were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of PG, TBHQ,BHA and BHT was 8.0–800 ng/mL. All correlation coefficients of the calibration curves were higher than0.996 and relative standard deviations(RSD, n = 5) were 2.36%–5.46%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of antioxidants in essence samples with satisfactory relative recoveries of 89.4%–103.5%. The results confirmed the SPAs of essence could be effectively monitored by this method and also established good reference criteria for essence.

Radical scavenging and in vitro antifungal activities of Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes of the t-butylphenyl derivative of porphyrazine

Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes and metal-free t-butylphenyl peripherally substituted porphyrazine (Pz) have been screened for in vitro antifungal (Aspergillus niger) and antioxidant (free radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging, and reducing power) activities. The results were compared with synthetic antioxidants, e.g., butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), trolox, or α-tocopherol. The free radical scavenging activity of H₂Pz was higher than the CuPz complex. However, CuPz complex showed higher superoxide radical scavenging activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox while H₂Pz and CoPz showed weaker activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox. The reducing power of all complexes was similar to that of BHT and α-tocopherol on a per molar basis. The ligand and complexes have antifungal activity against A. niger. The compounds have significant superoxide radical scavenging activity against various antioxidant systems in vitro.     

Selective extraction of antioxidants with molecularly imprinted polymers

Molecular imprinting technology can be used to generate specific artificial polymeric receptors, i.e., high affinity stationary phases, as already shown for peptides and many other food ingredients. In this work, polymers have been molecularly imprinted with three exemplary antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and propyl gallate (PG). Results of chromatographic evaluations are presented, demonstrating the specificity of the imprinted polymers (MIP) compared to non-specific control polymers (CP). For a BHA imprinted polymer and the respective analyte BHA a separation factor of α=k_BHA-MIP′/k_CP′=1.12 was found, whereas for the BHT-MIP a higher selectivity was determined with α=k_BHT-MIP′/k_CP′=1.47. Using the PG selective MIP for PG as analyte a value of α=k_PG-MIP′/k_CP′=1.24 could be achieved. Furthermore, results of extraction procedures based on MIP and CP phases are presented, demonstrating for instance a higher selectivity of the BHA-MIP in comparison with its CP when using methanol or acetonitrile as analyte solvent, and of the PG-MIP when performing the extraction in acetonitrile.     

Voltammetric Study of Some Synthetic Antioxidants on Platinum Microelectrodes in Acetic Acid Medium

The electrochemical oxidation of the antioxidants tert‐butylhydroquinone (BHQ), tert‐butyl‐4‐hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) has been investigated by voltammetry at platinum microelectrodes in glacial acetic acid containing sodium perchlorate or sodium acetate as a background electrolyte. BHQ, a compound with para‐diphenyl groups, was typically found to have lower oxidation potential than isolated phenols BHA and BHT. Particular attention has been devoted to the mechanism of the electrode processes. Linear scan voltammograms recorded under steady‐state conditions showed well‐defined oxidation waves of the compounds studied even at relatively high concentrations (2 mM), due to a low proclivity for adsorption of the oxidation products on the electrode surface in acetic acid. The optimal conditions for the voltammetric determination of BHQ, BHA and BHT have also been studied. The results reveal that sensitive response for all the oxidants studied can be obtained in solution containing 0.1 M NaClO₄ and 0.1 M CH₃COONa by using the differential pulse voltammetry and square‐wave voltammetry. Peak currents were found to vary linearly with the antioxidant concentration over the range 3×10^?5?1×10^?3 M.     

Solid-phase ultraviolet absorbance spectrophotometric multisensor for the simultaneous determination of butylated hydroxytoluene and co-existing antioxidants

Continuous flow injection and UV spectrophotometric detection have been proposed for simultaneous determination of the two binary mixtures, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)/n-propyl gallate (n-PG) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)/butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), in food and cosmetics samples. The method is based on the different residence times of each antioxidant when the flow cell is packed to a height of 25 mm with silica C₁₈ using methanol-water 50:50% (v/v) as a carrier with a flow rate of 1.25 and 1.10 ml min⁻¹, respectively. The determination of each antioxidant is based on the measurement of its absorbance at its maximum wavelengths using a DAD detector at 30 and 180 s for the mixture n-PG-BHT and 90 and 220 s for BHA-BHT. Calibration graphs were linear over the range 10.0-300.0 μg ml⁻¹ for each antioxidant in both mixtures. The relative standard deviations were 2.5% for BHT and 2.0% for the co-existing antioxidant. Resolution of the n-PG-BHT mixture in ratios between 1:8 and 8:1 and the BHA-BHT mixture in ratios between 1:10 and 10:1 is possible. The method was applied to the determination of both antioxidants in fat foods and cosmetics samples with recoveries ranging between 101 and 105%.     

Simultaneous Determination of Phenolic Additives in Cosmetics by Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection

A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method with electrochemical detection (MECC‐ED) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of eight phenolic additives, including propyl gallate (PG), tert‐butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), methylparaben (MP), ethylparaben (EP), propylparaben (PP) and butylparaben (BP) in cosmetic products. Method development involved optimization of the working electrode, the pH value of running buffer, the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the separation voltage, and the sample injection time. Under the optimum conditions, all analytes can be well separated within 26 min at the separation voltage of 18 kV in a 9 mmol·L^?1 sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) ?60 mmol·L^?1 borate running buffer (pH 8.0). A 300 μm diameter carbon disk electrode generated good response at +0.90 V (vs. SCE) for all analytes. Linearity of the present method was over three orders of magnitude of analyte concentration with detection limits (S/N=3) ranging from 1.1×10^?7 to 1.2×10^?6 g·mL^?1 for all analytes. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of the above additives in commercial cosmetics, and the assay results were satisfactory.     

Glassy carbon electrodes modified with gold nanoparticles for the simultaneous determination of three food antioxidants

Electrochemical behavior of three antioxidants: butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroquinone (TBHQ), was investigated at a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GCE). This electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicated that the modified electrode was strongly electroactive during the redox reactions of BHA, BHT and TBHQ, and this was confirmed by the observed increased redox peak currents and shifted potentials; in addition, the oxidation products of BHA and TBHQ were found to be the same. The experimental conditions were optimized and the oxidation peaks of BHA and BHT were clearly separated. Based on this, an electrochemical method was researched and developed for the simultaneous determination of BHA, BHT and TBHQ in mixtures with the use of first derivative voltammetry; the linear concentration ranges were 0.10–1.50 μg mL⁻¹, 0.20–2.20 μg mL⁻¹ and 0.20–2.80 μg mL⁻¹, and detection limits were 0.039, 0.080 and 0.079 μg mL⁻¹, for BHA, BHT and TBHQ, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of the three analytes in edible oil samples.     

Determination of in vitro antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of propofol

Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is a hypnotic intravenous agent with in vivo antioxidant properties. This study was undertaken to examine the in vitro antioxidant activity of propofol using different antioxidant tests including by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH.) radical scavenging, metal chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant activities. At the concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 microg/ml, propofol exhibited 97.7, 98.6 and 100% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. On the other hand, at the 75 microg/ml concentration of standard antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and alpha-tocopherol exhibited 88.7, 94.5, and 70.4% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. In addition, at same concentrations, propofol was shown that it had effective reducing power, DPPH. free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and metal chelating activities. These various antioxidant activities were compared to standard antioxidants such as BHA, BHT and alpha-tocopherol. These results indicate that propofol prevents lipid peroxidation and radicalic chain reactions. At the same time, propofol revealed more effective antioxidant capacity than BHA, BHT and alpha-tocopherol.     

Micellar Effects on the Reaction between an Arenediazonium Ion and the Antioxidants Gallic Acid and Octyl Gallate

The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles on the reaction between the 3‐methylbenzenediazonium (3MBD) ion and either the hydrophilic antioxidant gallic acid (GA) or the hydrophobic analogue octyl gallate (OG) have been investigated as a function of pH. Titration of GA in the absence and presence of SDS micelles showed that the micelles do not alter the first ionization equilibrium of GA. Analysis of the dependence of the observed rate constant (k_obs) with pH shows that the reactive species are GA^2? and OG^?. Kinetics results in the absence and presence of SDS micelles suggest that SDS aggregates do not alter the expected reaction pathway. SDS Micelles inhibit the spontaneous decomposition of 3MBD as well as the reaction between 3MBD and either GA or OG, and upon increasing the SDS concentration, with k_obs approaching the value for the thermal decomposition of 3MBD in the presence of SDS. Our results are consistent with the prediction of the pseudophase model and show that the origin of the inhibition for the reaction with GA is different to that for the reaction with OG; in the former case, the observed inhibition can be rationalized in terms of the micelle‐induced electrostatic separation of reactants in the micellar Stern layer, whereas the observed inhibition in the reaction with OG is a consequence of the dilution effect caused by increasing SDS concentration, decreasing the local OG^? concentration in the Stern layer.     

Determination of Steroids in Human Urine by Micellar Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of steroids using micellar liquid chromatography is described. The steroids, including hydroxycorticosterone. corticosterone, northisterone, testosterone, mexdroprogesterone acetate and progesterone, were separated by reversed-phase using a micelles mobile phase following UV detection at 245 nm. The parameters affecting retention of the test solutes such as the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and n-butanol-1 in the mobile phase were investigated. It was found that the retention of the solutes was dependent on the composition of mobile phase. The linear calibration plots range from 0.1 to 10 μg ml^?1 in mobile phase containing 5.0 × 10^?2 mol l^?1 SDS/9 % n-butanol-1 at pH 6.0, and the detection limit in order of 0.1 μg ml^?1 was obtained. The proposed method was used for the determination of steroids in urine using direct injection of samples without previous treatment.     

Antioxidant activity of two wild edible mushrooms (Morchella vulgaris and Morchella esculanta) from North Turkey

The ethanol extracts of Morchella vulgaris (EEMV) and Morchella esculanta (EEME) were analysed for their antioxidant activities in different systems including reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, total antioxidant activity, and metal chelating activity. EEMV and EEME had similar reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, and metal chelating activity at concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 microg/mL. These various antioxidant activities were compared to standard antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and alpha-tocopherol. The percent inhibition of different concentrations of EEMV on peroxidation in the linoleic acid system was 85 and 87 % respectively, which was greater than that of 100 and 250 microg/mL of alpha-tocopherol (50 and 77%, respectively) and similar to 250 microg/mL of BHA (85, 87%, respectively). The percent inhibition of different concentrations of EEME on peroxidation in the linoleic acid system was 80 and 87 % respectively, which was greater than that of 100 and 250 microg/mL of alpha-tocopherol (50, 77%) and similar to 250 microg/mL BHA (87%). On the other hand, the percent inhibition of 100 and 250 microg/mL of BHT was 97 and 99%, respectively. In addition, the total phenolic compounds in EEMV and EEME were determined as gallic acid equivalents.     

Electrokinetic chromatographic characterization of novel catanionic surfactants vesicle as pseudostationary phase

A novel catanionic surfactants vesicle system composed of octyltriethylammonium bromide/ sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (C₈NE₃Br/SDBS) has been developed as pseudostationary phase (PSP) in EKC. The C₈NE₃Br/SDBS system possesses a large vesicle phase region and none of agglomeration phenomena appeared while mixing cationic and anionic surfactants at any molar ratio. Electrophoretic and chromatographic parameters including elution window, hydrophobic selectivity, polar group selectivity, and shape selectivity were characterized using the vesicle at molar ratio of C₈NE₃Br to SDBS of 3:7 as PSP. Compared with SDS micelles, the vesicle PSP possessed a wider elution window and a better selectivity. The retention behavior and selectivity differences between the novel vesicle and SDS micelles were evaluated through linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) analysis. Though the cohesiveness and the hydrogen bond acidity have greatest influences on the solutes retention and selectivity in both the vesicle and SDS micelle, the vesicle PSP demonstrated a higher hydrophobicity and a lower hydrogen bonding donating capability owing to compact bilayer structure of vesicle. Additionally, the vesicle system had a stronger hydrogen bond accepting capability than SDS micelle. Consequently, according to LSER analysis, the bigger coefficients for v, b, and a revealed the vesicle PSP had a better separation selectivity than conventional SDS micelle.
