Analysis of Wine Bouquet Components Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction-Capillary Gas Chromatography

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS/SPME) was studied and optimized for the capillary gas chromatographic (CGC) analysis of wine aroma compounds. The results were compared with those obtained using the direct sampling mode (DI/SPME) and using liquid/liquid extraction with Kaltron. The aromatic patterns obtained by HS/SPME-CGC were applied to the chemometric classification of wine varieties. The HS/SPME-CGC standard additional method is an appropriate technique for the quantitative analysis of volatile wine aroma compounds.     

A Solid-Phase Microcolumn Extraction Method for the Analysis of Acetic Acid and Furfural Emitted from Paper

A rapid non-destructive sampling technique for the analysis of volatile organic compounds emitted from paper sheets is presented. A capillary, which is connected to an adsorbent-packed microcolumn, is inserted between two sheets at the centre of a paper stack placed in a bag made of polyethylene terephthalate/aluminium/polyethylene. The other end of the microcolumn is connected to a gas-tight syringe and an appropriate volume (5 mL) of the gaseous phase is aspirated. The loaded microcolumn is transferred into a modified split/splitless inlet of the GC-FID for desorption and analysis. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of acetic acid and furfural in artificially aged paper sheets and naturally aged old books. The method shows good repeatability with limits of quantification for acetic acid and furfural of 0.1 and 0.04 ng mL^?1 respectively in the gas phase.     

Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Analysis of Volatile Components in Peanut Oil

Peanut oil is favored by consumers due to its rich nutritional value and unique flavor. This study used headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to examine the differences in the peanut oil aroma on the basis of variety, roasting temperatures, and pressing components. The results revealed that the optimal conditions for extracting peanut oil were achieved through the use of 50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers at 60 °C for 50 min. The primary compounds present in peanut oil were pyrazines. When peanuts were roasted, the temperature raised from 120 °C to 140 °C and the content of aldehydes in peanut oil increased; however, the content of aldehydes in No. 9 oil at 160 °C decreased. The components of peanut shell oil varied depending on the peanut variety. The most marked difference was observed in terms of the main compound at the two roasting temperatures. This compound was a pyrazine, and the content increased with the roasting temperature in hekei oils. When the roasting temperature was lower, No. 9 oil contained more fatty acid oxidation products such as hexanal, heptanal, and nonanal. When the roasting temperature increased, No. 9 oil contained more furfural and 5-methylfurfural. Heren oil was easier to oxidize and produced nonanal that possessed a fatty aroma.     

Enhancing the Sensitivity of Full Evaporation Technique Using Multiple Headspace Extraction Analysis

This article reports on the development of a new full evaporation (FE) headspace technique based on multiple headspace extraction (MHE). Using multiple headspace extraction procedures, the sample volume used in the headspace can be dramatically increased, thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity. The technique was applied to the quantification of ethanol. The results showed that up to 0.2 mL of ethanol solution can be used in full evaporation HS-GC analysis by adding multiple headspace extraction procedures. The sensitivity for ethanol content was ten times higher than that in conventional full evaporation HS-GC measurement without using multiple headspace extraction procedures. The present MHE-FE headspace analytical technique is accurate and automated and has great potential for the application in determining volatile analytes in aqueous samples.

Estimating the Solubility of Anthocyanins Using Cartridges for Solid-Phase Extraction

A method for using solid-phase extraction cartridges to estimate the solubility of anthocyanins is proposed. It is shown that at high degrees of the saturation of surfaces of sorbents by sorbates, their subsequent desorption using suitable extractants may be accompanied by the crystallization of sorbates after attaining supersaturation. The solubility of individual anthocyanins in a 1: 1 mixture of ethanol and 0.1 M HCl aqueous solution at the 12–13 g/L level is estimated using the proposed method. The total solubility of anthocyanins is found to grow after increasing the number of individual types of anthocyanins in mixture.     

Headspace Single Drop Microextraction Using Micellar Ionic Liquid Extraction Solvents

A headspace single drop microextraction (SDME) method using extraction solvents comprised of micellar ionic liquids (ILs) was used to perform the extraction of 17 aromatic compounds from aqueous solution and coupled with liquid chromatography. The effects of various experimental parameters including type of micellar IL extraction solvent, stir rate, extraction time, volume of the microdroplet, and addition of organic solvent were investigated and optimized. Two different micellar solutions were formed by dissolving 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([DMIM][Br]) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]). It was observed that the enrichment factors of the 17 studied compounds were all enhanced with the micellar ionic liquid extraction solvent compared to the neat [BMIM][Cl] IL. The highest sensitivity was obtained with the [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] micellar solution for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with high molecular weight and fused rings while the [BMIM][Cl]–SDS micellar solution was proven to be more sensitive for smaller, more polar molecules. The detection limits were lower when utilizing the [BMIM][Cl]–SDS and [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] extraction solvents compared to the neat [BMIM][Cl] extraction solvent. The reproducibility of the extraction method at 20 °C using extraction solvents composed of [BMIM][Cl]–SDS and [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] ranged from 6.7 to 14.0 and 4.2 to 14.7%, respectively.

Analysis of the Volatile Constituents of Schisandra chinesis (Turz.) Bail by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction

Summary Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for the analysis of the volatile constituents of a traditional Chinese medicine, the fruits of Schisandra chinensis (Turz.) Bail. Two different fibers of polydimethylsiloxane and carbowax-divinylbenzene were used for the absorption of the volatile constituents of the fruits. Thirty-three volatile compounds were separated and identified. The optimum absorption and desorption conditions were also studied. Relative standard deviation values less than 6.5% showed that the method has a good reproducibility. The volatile constituents were also analyzed by steam distillation and thirty-five compounds were identified. The similar results obtained by the two methods showed that SPME is a simple, rapid and solvent-free method for the analysis of volatile constituents of plant materials.     

Ultrasound-Microwave Hybrid-Assisted Extraction Coupled to Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction for Fast Analysis of Essential Oil in Dry Traditional Chinese Medicine by GC–MS

A novel one-step sample preparation technique termed ultrasound-microwave hybrid-assisted extraction coupled to headspace solid-phase microextraction (UMHE-HS-SPME) was developed in this study, which was used for the determination of essential oils in dry traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The dry roots of Angelica dahurica were used as the model TCM. In this work, ultrasound-assisted extraction was first combined with microwave-assisted extraction coupled to headspace solid-phase microextraction and applied to the rapid determination of A. dahurica. Sample preparations including isolation, extraction, and concentration of essential oils were performed in a single step. The effects of various parameters including fiber coating, ultrasound power, and irradiation time were investigated thoroughly and optimized. To further demonstrate the method’s feasibility, the conventional steam distillation (SD) method was used for the analysis of essential oils in the TCM to compare with the proposed method. The results show that more essential oil compounds were isolated and identified by UMHE-HS-SPME than by SD. Moreover, compounds with higher boiling point and many more oxygenated compounds were extracted from A. dahurica by the proposed method. In addition, the SD method required a long time (6 h) to isolate the essential oils, and large amounts of organic solvent for further extraction, while UMHE-HS-SPME needed only 10 min to prepare the samples, and no organic solvent. Relative standard deviation values less than 10 % show that the present method has good precision. According to the experimental results, the advantages of the proposed method are: short extraction time, high extraction efficiency, and solvent-free extraction. Thus, UMHE-HS-SPME is an alternative tool for fast analysis of essential oils in dry TCMs and can be potentially extended to other target analytes in dry matrix.     

Method Validation and Evaluation of Safrole Persistence in Cowpea Beans Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography

Bioinsecticides are regarded as important alternatives for controlling agricultural pests. However, few studies have determined the persistence of these compounds in stored grains. This study aimed at optimizing and validating a fast and effective method for extraction and quantification of residues of safrole (the main component of Piper hispidinervum essential oil) in cowpea beans. It also sought to assess the persistence of this substance in the grains treated by contact and fumigation. The proposed method used headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC/FID). Factors such as temperature, extraction time and type of fiber were assessed to maximize the performance of the extraction technique. The performance of the method was appraised via the parameters selectivity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, and accuracy. The LOD and LOQ of safrole were 0.0057 and 0.019 μg kg⁻¹, respectively and the determination coefficient (R²) was >0.99. The relative recovery ranged from 99.26 to 104.85, with a coefficient of variation <15%. The validated method was applied to assess the persistence of safrole residue in grains, where concentrations ranged from 1.095 to 0.052 µg kg⁻¹ (contact) and from 2.16 to 0.12 µg kg ⁻¹ (fumigation). The levels measured up from the fifth day represented less than 1% of the initial concentration, proving that safrole have low persistence in cowpea beans, thus being safe for bioinsecticide use. Thus, this work is relevant not only for the extraction method developed, but also for the possible use of a natural insecticide in pest management in stored grains.

Headspace Sorptive Extraction (HSSE) in the Headspace Analysis of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants

A new sampling technique, Headspace Sorptive Extraction (HSSE), is here applied for the first time to the headspace sampling of medicinal and aromatic plants. The analyte partition coefficient between HSSE‐PDMS stir bar and sample headspace (K₁), the concentration factor (CF), the reproducibility, and the minimum recoverable amount were determined by analyzing standard solution of high volatility C₅–C₇ compounds with different polarities and structures (cyclohexane, propyl acetate, hexanal, 1‐hexen‐3‐ol, isoamyl acetate, and 2‐heptanol). Four aromatic and medicinal plants, viz. rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), and valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) were analyzed by HSSE‐GC with PDMS stir bars, and their concentration capacity was compared with those of S‐HS and HS‐SPME with different fibers. HSSE showed very high concentration capability with both standard and real sample components.     

Simple Analysis of Amphetamines in Human Whole Blood and Urine by Headspace Capillary Gas Chromatography with Large Volume Injection

Summary A very simple method for the analysis of methamphetamine and amphetamine in human whole blood and urine by headspace gas chromatography (GC) has been presented. It neither needs solid-phase microextraction nor cryogenic trapping devices, but only a conventional capillary GC instrument with flame ionization detection (FID). The two special points to be mentioned in this method are the in-matrix derivatization of amphetamines for vaporization and the capability of injection of as large as 5 mL of the headspace vapor into a GC instrument in the splitless mode for sensitive detection. After heating a whole blood or urine sample containing amphetamines, -methylbenzylamine (internal standard, IS) and heptafluoro-n-butyryl chloride under alkaline conditions in a 7.0-mL vial at 90 °C for 20 min, 5 mL of the headspace vapor was drawn with a glass syringe and injected into the gas chromatograph. During injection the column was at 40 °C to trap the analytes, and then the oven temperature was programmed up to 320 °C. Sharp peaks were obtained for each analyte and IS, and only a relatively small number of background impurity peaks for the whole blood and urine samples. The detection limits for each amphetamine were estimated to be 0.1 g mL^–1 for whole blood and 0.03 g mL^–1 for urine. Precision and linearity were also tested to confirm the reliability. Methamphetamine and amphetamine could be determined from whole blood and urine obtained at autopsy in three methamphetamine poisoning cases. The identity of each peak appearing in the gas chromatograms was confirmed by GC/mass spectrometry.

Volatiles Composition and Antimicrobial Activities of Areca Nut Extracts Obtained by Simultaneous Distillation–Extraction and Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction

The volatile components of areca nuts were isolated by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME, DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber extraction) and simultaneous hydrodistillation–extraction (SHDE) and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Furthermore, all SHDE fractions were tested for antimicrobial activity using the disk diffusion method on nine Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus canis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Candida albicans). In total, 98 compounds (mainly alcohols, carbonyl compounds, fatty acids, esters, terpenes, terpenoids, and aliphatic hydrocarbons) were identified in SHDE fractions and by using SPME extraction Fatty acids were the main group of volatile constituents detected in all types of extracts. The microorganism most sensitive to the extract of the areca nut was Streptococcus canis. The results can provide essential information for the application of different treatments of areca nuts in the canning industry or as natural antibiotics.
