Determination of acetaldehyde in liquid, solid and semi-solid food after pervaporation-derivatization

 A spectrophotometric method for the determination of acetaldehyde in liquid, semi-solid and solid food samples, employing the coupling of a continuous flow configuration to a pervaporation unit, has been proposed. It is based on the reaction of the analyte with fuchsin in acidic medium and subsequent formation of a coloured product (alkylsulphonic acid chromophore) with sodium sulphite, which was monitored spectrophotometrically. Variable sensitivity was obtained by altering the pervaporation temperature and the thickness of the membrane. The detection limits went down to 4.2 μg/mL and the precision was between 1.2 and 3.6%.

Determination of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in mainstream cigarette smoke by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method is described for the determination of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in mainstream cigarette smoke. This involved the collection and reaction of the aldehydes with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in aqueous acetonitrile.

Cigarette yields of greater than 5 micrograms of formaldehyde and 50 micrograms of acetaldehyde could be determined to estimated relative standard deviations of 0.07 and 0.05, respectively.     

Pervaporation-gas chromatography coupling for slurry samples. Determination of acetaldehyde and acetone in food

The use of pervaporation for the removal of volatile species from slurry samples, with a full automated introduction of the sample into the lower chamber of the pervaporation unit prior to their individual separation and determination by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection, is presented for the first time. For this purpose, the upper chamber of the pervaporator is situated in the loop of an HPLC injection valve and the only requirement of the experimental setup for being used with slurries is to have adequately sized diameters for the units of the dynamic manifold assisting the donor chamber in order to avoid clogging by the suspended particles. The method developed was applied to the determination of acetaldehyde and acetone in food samples with different solids contents, such as yoghurt, Actimel and different kind of juices.

Determination of acetaldehyde in fuel ethanol by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.

The cyclic voltammetric behavior of acetaldehyde and the derivatized product with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPHi) has been studied at a glassy carbon electrode. This study was used to optimize the best experimental conditions for its determination by high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation coupled with electrochemical detection. The acetaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (ADNPH) was eluted and separated by a reversed-phase column, C18, under isocratic conditions with the mobile phase containing a binary mixture of methanol/LiCl(aq) at a concentration of 1.0 x 10(-3) M (80:20 v/v) and a flow rate of 1.0 mL min(-1). The optimum condition for the electrochemical detection of ADNPH was +1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode. The proposed method was simple, rapid (analysis time 7 min) and sensitive (detection limit 3.80 microg L(-1)) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1. It was also highly selective and reproducible [standard deviation 8.2% +/- 0.36 (n = 5)]. The analytical curve of ADNPH was linear over the range of 3-300 mg L(-1) per injection (20 microL), and the analytical recovery was > 99%.

Determination of halofuginone in bovine plasma by competing-ion high performance liquid chromatography after solid phase extraction

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of the anticoccidial and antitheilerial drug halofuginone in bovine plasma was developed. Samples were diluted with acetic acid (10%, v/v) and cleaned up on a Bond Elut C8 column. The analyte was eluted from the extraction column and chromatographed by reversed-phase HPLC using decylamine as a competing-ion reagent. Detection was by UV at 243 nm. Recovery from plasma was 75%, and within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were 5.23 and 6.35% respectively. The specificity and sensitivity of this method (limit of detection in plasma, 1 ng/mL) were sufficiently high to enable us to characterize the time course of the drug in plasma after oral administration of therapeutic doses to cattle.     

Determination of fluoroquinolones in edible animal tissue samples by high performance liquid chromatography after solid phase extraction

In the present work, a rapid, accurate, and sensitive method has been developed for the quantitative determination of five fluoroquinolones (enoxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin) in edible animal tissues (muscle tissue, liver, kidney, and eggs). The separation was accomplished on an Inertsil (250 x 4 mm) C8, 5 microm, analytical column, at ambient temperature within 15 min. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of citric acid (0.4 mol L(-1))-CH3OH-CH3CN (87:9:4% v/v). UV detection at 275 nm yielded the following limits of detection: 100 pg per 20 microL injected volume for enoxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, 20 pg for ofloxacin, and 200 pg for enrofloxacin. Peaks in real samples were identified by means of a photodiode array detector. The method was validated in terms of intra-day (n = 8) and inter-day (n = 8) precision and accuracy. Tissue samples were purified from endogenous interference by solid-phase extraction using Oasis HLB cartridges. The solid-phase extraction protocol was optimized in terms of retention and elution. Recovery rates at fortification levels of 40, 60, and 80 ng/g ranged from 82.5% to 111.1%. The applicability of the method was examined using real samples from a chicken treated orally with the five studied fluoroquinolones.     

Determination of preservatives in cosmetics and food samples by micellar liquid chromatography

An analytical procedure has been developed for the analysis of benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, isopropyl-, and butyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid by micellar liquid chromatography. After dilution in n-propanol the sample was directly injected onto a Lichrosorb ODS, 5 microm (250 x 4.6 mm ID) column and eluted with aqueous 2% Brij-35 adjusted to pH 3.0 with phosphoric acid:propanol (80:20 v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1) and UV detection at 254 nm. A linear calibration curve was obtained simultaneously for each component in the range of 50-500 microg mL(-1) for benzoic acid and 5-150 microg mL(-1) for the other components; detection limits were within 25-250 ng mL(-1) corresponding to 125-1250 pg per injection (5 microL). The reproducibility in terms of average peak area and average retention time was obtained with coefficients of variation (CV) of 1.2% and 0.5%. The method was applied to analysis of these compounds in cosmetics (shampoos, hand lotions, creams, and bath foam) and food samples.

Determination of perfluorochemicals in biological, environmental and food samples by an automated on-line solid phase extraction ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method

A rapid on-line solid phase extraction ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the identification and quantitation of nine perfluorinated compounds in matrices of environmental, biological and food interest. Pre-treatment, solid phase extraction, chromatographic and mass detection conditions were optimised, in order to apply the whole methodology to the analysis of different matrices. Particular attention was devoted to the evaluation of matrix effect and the correlated phenomena of ion enhancement or suppression in mass spectrometry detection. LOD and LOQ range from 3 to 15ngL(-1) and from 10 to 50ngL(-1), respectively. Method detection limits (MDLs) were also calculated for each kind of matrix. The recovery, evaluated for each analyte, does not depend on analyte concentration in the explored concentration range: average Rˉ% values are always greater than 82.9%. In the whole, the results obtained for samples of river waters, blood serum, blood plasma, and fish confirm the ubiquitous presence of perfluorinated compounds, as recently denounced by many sources.
