Analysis of organic acids and inorganic anions in beverage drinks by capillary electrophoresis

To meet the need for a new and validated analytical method for simultaneous determination of inorganic and organic acid anions in beverage drinks, a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) procedure had been developed based on a new background electrolyte (BGE) system containing 3 mmol/L 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTA), 15 mmol/L tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and 1.5 mmol/L tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) at pH 8.4. Baseline separation of anions commonly found in beverage drinks could be achieved in less than 14 min with indirect UV detection at 240 nm. Comigration problems for hydroxycarboxylic acids could be solved using TEPA as BGE additive. The results indicate excellent repeatability for migration time (RSD, 0.27-0.67%, n = 5) and good precision for both peak height (RSD, 3.2-4.2%, n = 5) and peak area (RSD, 3.1-4.5%, n = 5). Under the optimized conditions and using corrected peak area for quantitation, an excellent linear dynamic range (with correlation coefficient > 0.997 in a concentration range from 0.005 to 2.0 mmol/L) and low detection limit (1-4 micro mol/L) were obtained for all the anions investigated. The applicability and reliability of the CE procedure developed were established by parallel method determination using established ion chromatography procedure for the analysis of inorganic and organic acid anions in orange juice and wine samples. Our CZE procedure provided a sensitive and economic technique for simultaneous determination of inorganic and organic acid anions in orange juice, red and white wine samples.     

Ion chromatographic determination of hydroxide ion on monolithic reversed-phase silica gel columns coated with nonionic and cationic surfactants

The determination of hydroxide by ion chromatography (IC) is demonstrated using a monolithic octadecylsilyl (ODS)-silica gel column coated first with a nonionic surfactant (polyoxyethylene (POE)) and then with a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)). This stationary phase, when used in conjunction with a 10 mmol/l sodium sulfate eluent at pH 8.2, was found to be suitable for the rapid and efficient separation of hydroxide from some other anions, based on a conventional ion-exchange mechanism. The peak directions and detection responses for these ions were in agreement with their known limiting equivalent ionic conductance values. Under these conditions, a linear calibration plot was obtained for hydroxide ion over the range 16 micromol/l to 15 mmol/l, and the detection limit determined at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 was 6.4 micromol/l. The double-coated stationary phase described above was shown to be superior to a single coating of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide alone, in terms of separation efficiency and stability of the stationary phase. A range of samples comprising solutions of some strong and weak bases was analyzed by the proposed method and the results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained by conventional potentiometric pH measurement.

Determination of trace cadmium in environmental water samples using ion-interaction reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

An ion-interaction reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of cadmium at low microg/l concentrations in environmental water samples. Cadmium and other matrix metals were separated through on-column complexation with 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphonate, using an octadecylsilica column and a mobile phase containing 15% acetonitrile, 10-13 mM tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, 5 mM 8-hydroxyquinoline 5-sulphonic acid and 10 mM acetic acid-acetate buffer (pH 4.8-5.4). Under the above conditions Cd(II) could be easily resolved from excess concentrations of matrix metals and could be detected at concentrations as low as 2 microg/l using fluorescence detection at 500 nm (based upon a 100-microl injection). The method showed a slightly curved detector response over the range of interest [up to 1 mg/l Cd(II)] and was successfully applied to the determination of trace Cd(II) in water samples containing large excesses of Mg(II) and Zn(II) and other matrix metals.     

Determination of aspartame by ion chromatography with electrochemical integrated amperometric detection

In this paper, the separation and determination of the sweetener aspartame by ion chromatography coupled with electrochemical amperometric detection is reported. Sodium saccharin, acesulfame-K and aspartame were separated using 27.5 mmol/l NaOH isocratic elution on a Dionex IonPac AS4A-SC separation column. Aspartame can be determined by integrated amperometric detection without interference from the other two sweeteners. The method can be applied to the determination of aspartame in powered tabletop, fruit juice and carbonated beverage samples, and the results obtained by integrated amperometry were in agreement with those obtained using a UV detection method. A method for determining analytes with an NH₂ group by ion chromatography with integrated amperometry was developed.     

Determination of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in untreated urine by capillary electrophoresis with UV detection

A capillary electrophoresis method with UV detection was developed for the determination of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in untreated urine samples. The calibration graph for 8-OHdG in urine is linear in the concentration range 10-500 mg/l. and the detection limit is 5 mg/l (17 microM). 8-OHdG was determined in urine from oncological patients treated by radiation therapy. Its concentrations relative to creatinine were found to be in the range 10-47 microg 8-OHdG/l mg creatinine (4-19 micromol 8-OHdG/mmol creatinine). The overall time of the analysis of a urine sample was less than 15 min.     

Determination of trace thiocyanate in body fluids by a kinetic fluorimetric method

A simple and very sensitive kinetic fluorimetric method is reported for the determination of trace amount of thiocyanate. The proposed method is based on the inhibition effect of thiocyanate on oxidation of rhodamine 6G by potassium bromate in sulfuric acid solution. The detection limit for thiocyanate is 1.63 x 10(-6) mmol/l. The linear range of the determination is 4.82 x 10(-6)-4.13 x 10(-5) mmol/l. This method has been used to determine trace thiocyanate in urine and saliva of smokers and non-smokers. The results obtained are satisfactory.     

Sensitive and selective ion chromatographic method for the determination of trace beryllium in water samples

A selective and sensitive ion chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of beryllium in a number of water samples at low-μg/l concentrations. The separation was performed on a 250×4.0 mm I.D. iminodiacetic acid functionalised silica gel column. Chromatographed Be(II) was detected using visible detection at 590 nm following post-column reaction with chrome azurol S (CAS). The optimum separation and derivatisation conditions were studied in detail. The optimum eluent conditions were found to be 0.4 M KNO₃, adjusted to pH 2.5 using HNO₃, with optimum post-column detection being achieved using a solution containing 0.26 mM CAS, 2% Triton X-100, 50 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid, pH 6.0. Under the above conditions, the concentration detection limit for Be(II) was found to be 3 μg/l in a standard solution and 4 μg/l in a typical tap water sample, using a 250 μl injection. The method was linear over the investigated range of 10 μg/l to 10 mg/l and highly reproducible. The method was successfully applied to a number of water samples of varying matrix complexity, including simulated seawater, and also to a natural freshwater certified reference material NIST 1640.     

Plant tissue-based chemiluminescence biosensor for ethanol.

A plant tissue-based chemiluminescence biosensor for ethanol based on using mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) tissue as the recognition element is proposed in this paper. The principle for ethanol sensing relies on the luminol-potassium hexacyanoferrate(III)-hydrogen peroxide transducer reaction, in which hydrogen peroxide is produced from the ethanol enzymatic catalytic oxidation by oxygen under the catalysis of alcohol oxidase in the tissue column. Under optimum conditions, the method allowed the measurement of ethanol in the range of 0.001 - 2 mmol/l with a detection limit (3 sigma) of 0.2 micromol/l. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4.14% (n = 11) for 0.05 mmol/l ethanol. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of ethanol in biological fluids and beverages with satisfactory results.     

Constructing a new optical sensor for monitoring ammonia in water samples using bis(acetylacetoneethylendiamine)-tributylphosphin cobalt(III) tetraphenylborate complex-coated triacetylcellulose.

A new ammonia optical sensor was designed using bis(acetylacetoneethylendiamine)tributylphosphin cobalt(III) tetraphenylborate complex, coated on transparent triacetylcellulose film as membrane. The change in the absorbance of the optode at the maximum wavelength of 408 nm was related to ammonia concentration in aqueous samples. A buffer solution with a pH of 9 (sodium borate-HCl) was used. The optode was fully regenerated in pH 2. The linear dynamic range for determination of ammonia was 3.3 x 10(-4) to 6.9 x 10(-3) mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 5.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) and a response time range of 4 - 6 min. This membrane was successfully applied for determination of ammonia in drinking water.     

Sensitivity improvement of ammonia determination based on flow-injection indophenol spectrophotometry with manganese(II) ion as a catalyst and analysis of exhaust gas of thermal power plant.

The sensitivity improvement of a flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of ammonia was examined based on an indophenol blue coloration reaction with salicylate and hypochlorite in the presence of manganese(II) as a reaction promotion catalyst. The optimal conditions for achieving higher sensitivity of ammonia determination were examined using a three-line flow system. The limit of detection corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3 was 0.005 mg l(-1) (approximately equal to 5 ppb) of NH4+. A calibration graph was linear in the range from 5 ppb to 1,000 ppb of ammonium ion. The relative standard deviations (n = 9) for 50 ppb and 100 ppb of ammonium ion were 6.4% and 2.2%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of ammonia in the exhaust gas of a thermal power plant. Prior to the FIA determination, ammonia in the exhaust gas was absorbed into a boric acid solution; the absorption solution was then analyzed by the proposed FIA.     

Environmentally friendly method for determination of ammonia nitrogen in fertilisers and wastewaters based on flow injection-spectrophotometric detection using natural reagent from orchid flower

Crude aqueous extract from the orchid ‘Dendrobium Sonia earsakul’ was utilised as a natural product reagent in flow injection analysis (FIA) incorporating a gas diffusion unit (GD) for the determination of ammonia nitrogen. Sample solution was injected into a NaOH donor stream to generate ammonia gas (NH₃). In the GD unit, NH₃ diffused across a PTFE gas-permeable membrane into the acceptor stream of the orchid extract. As the result, the aqueous orchid reagent became more alkaline and its colour changed from purple to green. The change in the colour of orchid acceptor correlated with the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the sample and its absorbance monitored by a spectrophotometer at 600 nm. Ammonia nitrogen in chemical fertiliser samples and wastewater samples from agricultural fields were determined and reported as %N (w/w) and mg N L^?1, respectively. For chemical fertilisers which contained high content of ammonia nitrogen, a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1 and injection volume of 100 µL were used with a linear range of 5–40 mmol L^?1 and detection limit of 2.12 mmol L^?1. However, a higher sensitivity was required for wastewater samples having low ammonia nitrogen content. The flow rate was reduced to 0.3 mL min^?1 and the injection volume increased to 1000 µL. As a result, detection limit of 0.76 mmol L^?1 was achieved with linear range of 1–5 mmol L^?1. The results of our method agreed well with that using the OPA method employing fluorescence detection.     

Determination of six components in Rhubarb by cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography using a mixed micellar system of sodium cholate and sodium taurocholate

A cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method was established to determine five anthraquinone derivatives and a distyrene derivative in Rhubarb. The six components were successfully separated by using the mixed micellar system consisting of 20 mmol/l SC and 20 mmol/l STC with 15 mmol/l β-CD in the BGE of 20 mmol/l borax buffer (pH 11) in less than 20 min. Effect of SC and STC concentrations, pH of BGE and concentration of β-CD on the separation was studied. The analytical performance of the method was discussed in terms of linearity response, precision, detection limits, quantitation limits and recoveries. The method developed was applied to the determination of three commercial Rhubarb samples. The results obtained agreed with those of the reported documents.     

Serial potentiometric and conductometric detection in fast non-suppressed ion chromatography applied to the analysis of filter collected airborne particulates

Non-suppressed ion chromatography (NSIC) has been optimized to permit the determination of chloride, nitrate and sulfate in the low mg/l concentration range within 3 min. Using conductometric detection the extraneous (positive) injection peak was found to adversely affect the early eluting chloride signal when samples with high amounts of total cations are analyzed. The serial arrangement of a downstream potentiometric detector with a chloride ion selective electrode, which does not respond to other alterations of the composition of the eluent than the change in chloride concentrations, is shown to be suitable for interference-free, sensitive and reliable chloride evaluation. Application of the proposed system to the determination of chloride in extracts of filter collected airborne particulates revealed (for those samples that could be evaluated by both detection methods) high precision and no systematic deviations between conductometric and potentiometric detection.     

Determination of ammonia in beers by pervaporation flow injection analysis and spectrophotometric detection

A pervaporation flow injection (PFI) method is described for the determination of ammonia in beers. After injecting the sample into a NaOH donor solution, ammonia and other volatiles are transferred in the pervaporation unit from the donor stream to an acceptor stream containing sodium salicylate and nitroprusside, which subsequently mixes with alkaline sodium dichloroisocyanurate to allow the classical Berthelot reaction to take place. The blue-coloured complex formed is monitored spectrophotometrically at 655 nm. A linear calibration curve with a range of 0.1–40 mg l⁻¹ was obtained. The method has a detection limit of 0.05 mg l⁻¹ and is capable of a sampling frequency of 11 h⁻¹ at 4 mg l⁻¹ ammonia. It was applied successfully to the determination of ammonia in synthetic samples and unfiltered lager beers. The advantages of the present method over the ammonia ion-selective electrode method and the PFI system based on mixed indicator detection are discussed.     

Development and validation of a capillary electrophoresis method for the characterization of sulfoethyl cellulose

To characterize sulfoethyl cellulose el samples, a capillary electrophoresis method was developed and validated sulfoethyl cellulose el was hydrolyzed, and the resulting d ‐glucose derivatives were analyzed after reductive amination with 4‐aminobenzoic acid using 150 mM boric acid, pH 9.5, as background electrolyte at 20°C and a voltage of 28 kV. Peak identification was derived from capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry using 25 mM ammonia adjusted to pH 6.2 by acetic acid as electrolyte. Besides mono‐, di‐, and trisulfoethyl d ‐glucose small amounts of disaccharides could be identified resulting from incomplete hydrolysis. The linearity of the borate buffer‐based capillary electrophoresis method was evaluated using d ‐glucose in the concentration range of 3.9–97.5 μg/mL, while limits of detection and quantification derived from the signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3 and 10 were 0.4 ± 0.1 and 1.2 ± 0.3 μg/mL, respectively. Reproducibility and intermediate precision were determined using a hydrolyzed sulfoethyl cellulose el sample and ranged between 0.2 and 8.8% for migration times and between 0.3 and 10.4% for peak area. The method was applied to the analysis of the degree of substitution of synthetic sulfoethyl cellulose el samples obtained by variation of the synthetic process and compared to data obtained by elemental analysis.

Spectrophotometric determination of acid volatile sulfide in river sediments by sequential injection analysis exploiting the methylene blue reaction

This paper demonstrates the application of sequential injection analysis to perform sulfide determination using the methylene blue chemistry, based on two reagents: 3.63 mmol l(-1)N,N dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine hydrochloride in 1.1 mol l(-1) HCl solution and 19 mmol l(-1) FeCl(3), also in 1.1 mol l(-1) HCl. These solutions are aspirated inside the holding coil of the sequential injection system as two reagent zones sandwiching the sample zone. Under optimized conditions, the detection limit was calculated at 40 mug l(-1) S(2-), with a linear dynamic range from 0.05 to 2 mg l(-1) S(2-). This linear range can be extended up to 32 mg l(-1) using in-line dilution for sulfide concentrations greater than 2 mg l(-1). The robust characteristic of the SI system with syringe pump leads to very stable analytical curves (precision of 4%), minimizing the laborious preparation of sulfide standards. The method was applied in the determination of acid volatile sulfide in river sediments.     

Evaluation of a reagent-injection flow injection technique for sample background absorption elimination: determination of chloride in cigarettes

The applicability of reagent-injection flow injection (FI) technique in elimination of background absorption was evaluated by using the FI determination of water-soluble chloride in cigarettes, based on the mercury thiocyanate method, as a model. Some parameters of the proposed reagent-injection FI method were optimized and the proposed procedure had a linear range of 0-7.5 mg l(-1) Cl, a detection limit of 0.02 mg l(-1) Cl, a sampling rate of 60 h(-1) and a relative standard deviation of 0.1% at 5 mg l(-1) Cl. Eight cigarette samples were analyzed by this proposed reagent-injection FI method and the referential membrane dialysis FI procedure. The relative errors were <4.3%, and paired t-test shows that there are no significant differences between these two methods. As no dialysis unit was needed, the reagent-injection FI method has much simpler flow system than the existed CFA and FI methods.
