Determination of Sterols and their Esters in Fats by Way of Transesterification in Different Solvents

ABSTRACT

The interference of triglycerides in the analysis of sterols and their esters in fats can be eliminated by transesterification of the sample dissolved in n-hexane with a solution of sodium hydroxide 2 mol/L. Since the analytes are distributed equally in n-hexane and in methanol, better results can be obtained by accurate measurements of the volumes, and processing the standards as the samples. Triglycerides and steryl esters are transesterified quantitatively by a solution of sodium hydroxide 2 mol/L using diethyl ether as solvent. At 40°C, ten minutes are sufficient to complete the reaction. The sterols are determined in fats using a mass spectrometer detector, at concentrations as low as 5 mg/Kg. Using FID, it was possible to analyze sterols present in concentrations higher than 100 mg/Kg.     

Ultrasound-assisted Low Density Solvent Based Dispersive Liquid-liquid Microextraction for Determination of Phthalate Esters in Bottled Water Samples

A technique of ultrasound-assisted low density solvent based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was developed for the determination of four phthalate esters, including dimethyl phthalate(DMP), diethyl phthalate(DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate(DnBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP) in bottled water samples. A low density solvent, toluene, was selected as extraction solvent. In the extraction process, a mixture of 15 μL of toluene(extraction solvent) and 100 μL of methanol(disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into 1.0 mL of water samples. A cloudy solution was formed after ultrasounded for 5 min, and then centrifuged at 5000 r/min for 5 min. The enriched analytes in the floating phase were determined by means of gas chromatograph. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factors were found to be in a range of 29-67, and the recoveries were ranged from 81.2% to 103.9%. The limits of the detection were in a range of 3.8-5.6 μg/L. The proposed method was applied to the extraction and determination of phthalate esters in bottled water samples, and the concentrations of phthalate esters found in the water samples were below the allowable levels.     

New process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO_2/H_2 based on dual-catalysis

A new process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 based on dual-catalysis has been developed. Some alcohols, especially 2-alcohol, were found to have high catalytic promoting effect on the synthesis of methanol from CO hydrogenation. At 443 K and 5 MPa, the synthesis of methanol could process high effectively, resulting from the synergic catalysis of Cu/ZnO solid catalyst and 2-alcohol solvent catalyst. The primary results showed that when 2-butanol was used as reaction solvent, the one-pass average yield and the selectivity of methanol, in 40 h continuous reaction at temperature as low as 443 K and 5 MPa, were high up to 46.51% and 98.94% respectively. The catalytic activity was stable and the reaction temperature was 80 K or so lower than that in current industry synthesis process. This new process hopefully will become a practical method for methanol synthesis at low temperature.

A simple method for the alkaline hydrolysis of esters

A very mild and rapid procedure for the efficient alkaline hydrolysis of esters in non-aqueous conditions has been developed, by the use of dichloromethane/methanol (9:1) as solvent.

Ein synthetisches Modell für die Aktivstelle der Coenzym-B12-abhängigen Methylmalonyl-CoA-Mutase

A synthetic model of the active site of the coenzyme B₁₂ dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase The synthesis of a bridged cobaloxime with a built-in methylmalonic ester moiety is described. 2-Brommethyl-2-methylmalonic acid dichloride ( 5 ) afforded upon reaction with 5-heptin-1-ol ( 4 ) the corresponding diester 6 . Subsequent treatment of 6 with ozone, dimethylsulfide and hydroxylamine hydrochloride led to the pentadentate ligand: 10-brommethyl-10-methyl-9, 11-dioxo-8, 12-dioxa-nonadecane-2, 3, 17, 18-tetraone tetraoxime ( 8 ). Reaction of 8 with cobalt (II) chloride, pyridine and sodium borohydride furnished in 7% yield the bridged cobaloxime 10 , which was spectroscopically characterized. Short term irradiation of 10 in methanol caused the exchange of the axial pyridine ligand by a solvent molecule affording 10a , the structure of which has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Long term irradiation of 10 in methanol or ethanol led to irreversible cleavage of the Co, C-bond. Upon alkaline hydrolysis the degradation product afforded methylsuccinic acid in 82–95% yield. No incorporation of solvent protons into this product could be observed. Implications of these findings for the mechanism of the coenzyme-B₁₂ catalysed rearrangement of methylmalonyl-CoA are discussed.

High sensitivity analysis of phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivatives by electrospray mass spectrometry

A new methodology has been developed for high sensitivity electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analyses of phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) amino acid derivatives. Key components of the methodology are the use of a solvent system consisting of methanol/dichloromethane (1:1 v/v) containing 5-mM lithium triflate, a stainless steel electrode having a relatively large surface area, and a microscale electrospray nozzle that provides for stable electrospray at flow rates in the range of 100–500 nL/min. A linear response for the absolute signal intensity of the protonated molecule was observed for a number of derivatives over the concentration range of 50–1000 fmol/µL. For all except the arginine derivative, there was a decrease in the signal intensity with increasing flow rate with 100–300 nL/min being optimum. Collision induced dissociation (CID) product ion spectra were obtained for 21 derivatives including carboxymethyl cysteine and dehydrothreonine. Leucine and isoleucine can be distinquished on the basis of their CID product ion spectra. A subfemtomole detection limit was demonstrated for the phenylalanine PTH derivative in a selected reaction monitoring (SRM) experiment. Samples from an automated Edman microsequencer run have been analyzed using the new technique and compared to results obtained by conventional high-performance liquid chromatography analysis with UV detection. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using mass spectrometry to identify and quantitate the products generated by automated protein microsequencing using standard Edman degradation chemistry.

Determination of berberine in Rhizoma coptidis and its preparations by non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis

A non-aqueous capillary electrophoretic method was established for the determination of berberine in Rhizoma coptidis and its preparations. The effects of organic solvent and the concentrations of sodium acetate were studied, which showed that berberine in extracts of traditional Chinese medicine can be separated successfully in a buffer solution of 75 mmol/L of sodium acetate in methanol containing 1 mol/L of acetic acid. The simple and rapid method was linear in the range 25-200 microgram/mL of berberine and had a good reproducibility, with the relative standard deviation below 2%. Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis is a satisfactory system for the analysis of alkaloids in traditional Chinese medicine.

Factorial analysis optimization of a Diltiazem kinetic spectrophotometric quantification method

A Diltiazem kinetic spectrophotometric method was optimized by factorial analysis. The experimental method is based on a two-stage reaction of Diltiazem with hydroxylamine and a ferric salt: in the first stage there is a hydroxamic acid formation; and, in the second stage there is a red colour complex ferric hydroxamate formation. The variables under investigation were: solvent; hydroxylamine, sodium hydroxide and ammonium ferric sulphate concentrations; volume of perchloric acid; and, temperature. The responses of the reactional system were the maximum absorbance, the wavelength and the reaction time at maximum absorbance. Experimental design methodologies were used in the optimization. Fractional and full factorial designs followed by optimization Box-Behnken and central composite experimental designs were used. The observed optimum conditions were: methanol as reaction solvent; hydroxylamine concentration of 9.375%; sodium hydroxide concentration of 18.750%; ferric reagent concentration of 2.000%; minimum volume of perchloric acid to neutralize the sodium hydroxide; and, room temperature as reaction temperature. With this set of experimental conditions a reaction time of 10.5 s with maximum colour development at 512 nm wavelength was achieved.
