Gas chromatography-olfactometry analysis of the volatile compounds of two commercial Irish beef meats

The volatile flavour compounds of two commercial Irish beef meats (labelled as conventional and organic) were evaluated by gas chromatography-olfactometry and were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The volatile compounds were isolated in a model mouth system. Gas chromatography-olfactometry was performed by a group of eight assessors using the detection frequency methodology. The odours of the detected compounds were described as well. Eighty-one volatile compounds were identified, 11 compounds of which possessed odour activity in the first beef sample and 14 of which in the second meat sample. Ten volatile flavour compounds were common to both: methanethiol, dimethyl sulphide, 2-butanone, ethyl acetate, 2- and 3-methylbutanal, an unknown compound, 2-octanone, decanal and benzothiazole. Two unknown compounds were only detected in the first sample while 2,3-pentanedione, 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one, 2-heptanone, dimethyl trisulphide and nonanal were only perceived in the second beef. Significant differences in terms of detection frequency, odour characteristics and in nature of the volatile flavour compounds were emphasised between the two samples.

Mass spectrometric characterization of low-molecular-mass color pI markers and their use for direct determination of pI value of proteins

The use of low-molecular-mass color pI markers for the determination of pI values of proteins in gel isoelectric focusing (IEF) in combination with mass spectrometry is described. Different types of substituted phenols of known pI values within the mass range 250-400 were used here as pI markers. The pure, synthesized pI markers were studied by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. Fragmentation studies of the pI markers were also performed. Only stable and well-characterized pI markers were used in this work. The selected pI markers were mixed with proteins, deposited on a gel and separated in a pH gradient. Color pI markers enable supervision of progress of the focusing process and also estimation of the position of the invisible focused bands. The separated bands of the pI markers (containing separated proteins) were excised, and the pI markers were eluted from each gel piece by water/ethanol and identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. From the washed gel pieces the remaining carrier ampholytes were then washed out and proteins were in-gel digested with trypsin. The obtained peptides were measured by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS and the proteins identified via a protein database search. This procedure allows avoiding time-consuming protein staining and destaining procedures, which shortens the analysis time roughly by half. For comparison, IEF gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R 250 and proteins in the gel bands were identified according to the standard proteomic protocol. This work has confirmed that our approach can give information about the correct pI values of particular proteins and shorten significantly the time of analysis.

Improving Accessibility and Reactivity of Celluloses of Annual Plants for the Synthesis of Methylcellulose

Pretreatments (water-soaking, pre-mercerization, mercerization under a pressure of 15 bars and steam explosion) were used to improve the accessibilities and reactivities of celluloses of bleached flax, hemp, sisal, abaca and jute pulps for the synthesis of methylcellulose. Degrees of crystallinity were determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectra. The iodine adsorption accessibilities of pulps were low and accessible fractions ranged from 1.3 to 5.2%. Accessible fractions in amorphous cellulose were calculated in the 5–18% range. The accessibilities of these pulps were hemp pulp > flax pulp > sisal pulp > jute pulp > abaca pulp. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra showed that mean hydrogen bond strengths were weakened and relative crystallinity indexes were decreased by pretreatments. The accessibility and reactivity of the abaca pulp were improved by water soaking, mercerization under 15 bars pressure, steam explosion and preliminary mercerization, of which steam explosion and pre-mercerization were the best treatments. Species was the main factor for the accessibility and reactivity.     

Some Aspects of Analysis of Single Fibers in Environmental and Biological Samples

Abstract

Nuclepore filters were used for sampling and evaluation of fibrous particles in ambient air, in liquids and in biological materials. The fiber counting and fiber size measurements were done by means of SEM-methods. The number of fibers and the distributions of fiber lengths and diameters were plotted. The specific identifications of asbestos, glass and other mineral fibrous particles were made by electron microprobe analysis. Certain elements proved to be approximative identification factors for different fibrous minerals in ambient air, in liquids, on material surfaces, or in biological materials.

For ambient air, asbestos, glass, and many other inorganic fibrous particles were found in the urban atmosphere as well as in the atmosphere of remote regions. Fibrous gypsum, fibrous ammonium sulfates, fibrous silicates, fibrous mica, and quartz were identified among these particles. Even in remote ambient air, relatively high concentrations of inorganic fibrous particles could be measured.

纳升液相色谱-质谱分析方法的重现性对尿液多肽组分析结果的影响

多肽组学是蛋白质组学技术的延伸和扩展,在医学和生物学研究中的应用日益广泛,但是,多肽组鉴定方法的重现性对实验结果的影响目前尚不清楚.本研究利用纳升液相色谱-高分辨质谱对健康人的尿液多肽组进行了7次平行分析,考察图谱数目、图谱利用率、鉴定的肽段数目、蛋白质数目、样品总离子强度和肽段保留时间等指标的变化,以揭示重复实验之间分析结果的可变性和稳定性.7次测定的肽段数目平均值为208,标准偏差为38;7次结果合并后,得到了归属于114个蛋白质的426个肽段,肽段和蛋白质数目均显著增加;而35个蛋白质的109个肽段在所有7次实验中均被检出,表明多肽组的单次分析结果既具有一定的随机性,又具有相对的稳定性.增加平行实验次数会扩大多肽组数据集,但测定3次以上后增加幅度减小.相比于肽段,多肽组的结果在蛋白质水平上更为稳定,提示利用蛋白质为多肽组的生物标志物更为稳健.     

Influence of surface properties of particles on their adhesion and removal

The effect of surface properties of particles on their adhesion and removal was investigated using an immersed system consisting of nylon particles and a quartz plate. The nylon particles were dyed with a reactive dye in order to change their properties and were used for the adhesion and removal experiments in comparison with undyed particles. The electrokinetic potentials of the particles were measured by micro-electrophoresis and the Hamaker constants were independently evaluated using experimental values of dispersive component of surface free energy determined by the Wilhelmy technique. The experimental results were used for the discussion of particle adhesion and removal on the basis of the heterocoagulation theory. The differences in adhesion and removal efficiencies between dyed and undyed particles were explained in terms of the electrostatic and dispersive van der Waals interaction by considering the differences in thier properties, the electrokinetic potential and the Hamaker constant, due to dyeing.

Investigation of the possible role of fatty acids and alcohols as precursors of normal hydrocarbons generated during vacuum pyrolysis of a young kerogen

Significant amounts of fatty acids and alcohols, in addition to straight-chain hydrocarbons, were observed in the vacuum pyrolysate of a young kerogen isolated from a fresh-water sediment. The amounts and the distribution patterns of fatty acids and alcohols were compared with those indigenous to the original kerogen, as determined by solvent extraction followed by saponification extraction. Straight-chain fatty acids in the pyrolysate were 12.7 mg/g kerogen, while those extracted from the original kerogen were 10.5 mg/g. The amounts of fatty alcohols in the pyrolysate and in the extracts were 1.31 and 1.10 mg/g. respectively. The excess amounts in the pyrolysate were explained by the release of a strictly bound form of fatty acids and alcohols, which were left in the kerogen matrix even after the saponification extraction. The results indicated that most fatty acids and alcohols were not decomposed as a result of the vacuum pyrolysis and that neither fatty acids nor fatty alcohols should be viewed as the prime precursors of the straigth-chain hydrocarbons (4.6 mg/g) simultaneously generated during vacuum pyrolysis.     

Chemical composition of essential oil from plants of abandoned mining site of Elba island

The essential oil composition of three spontaneous species growing in an abandoned mining of Elba island was analyzed by GC–MS. A total of 194 compounds were identified representing 73.7–100% of the whole oil composition. The essential oils of Cistus salvifolius and Dittrichia viscosa from this site showed different profiles in comparison with those from not polluted area, where oxygenated sesquiterpenes were the main class. Volatiles from D. viscosa growing in ex-mining area presented 10-epi-γ-eudesmol and α-eudesmol as main compounds while β-caryophyllene and limonene were the main ones in not polluted area. Ambroxide and ambrial were the most important compounds in the essential oil from C. salvifolius harvested in polluted area while nonanal and tridecanal were the main compounds in control samples. Oxygenated monoterpenes were the most abundant class from both Lavandula stoechas samples, with fenchone and camphor as main compounds.     

Dependence of structure of dehydrated PVA on the crystallinity of the original PVA

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films having different crystallinities were prepared by elongating PVA films to different degrees and heating the films with and without elongation treatment at several temperatures between 60 and 200°C. Then, they were dehydrated by heating from 80°C to 230 or 330°C in hydrogen chloride gas. Infrared spectral measurements were made on the dehydrated PVA films obtained. Absorbances of the absorption bands due to several groups seen in the infrared spectra depended only on the density of original PVA films, regardless of its degree of elongation. From these dependences, it was found that the dehydration reaction progressed more easily in the crystalline region than in the amorphous region, that the aromatic rings with four or five adjacent hydrogen atoms were formed mainly in the amorphous region and those with two adjacent hydrogen atoms in the crystalline region, and that the aromatic rings with two isolated hydrogen atoms were formed in both the amorphous and crystalline regions. Relative concentrations of the groups of which the dehydrated PVA were composed were estimated. Comparison of the numbers of carbon atoms among the composing groups indicated that the main groups were the methylene group and the aromatic ring.
