Densities, dynamic viscosities, and refractive indices of the ternary system composed by methanol, methyl acetate, and 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and the binary combinations of these constituents have been measured. The excess molar volumes as well as molar refraction and viscosity changes of mixing were calculated and fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation to determine the fitting parameters and the root-mean-square deviations. 相似文献
Free soluble carbohydrates of different wine samples were analyzed by GC–MS as their trimethylsilyloximes using a methylsilicone column. Besides α,α-trehalose, several β-glucosylglucoses such as cellobiose, sophorose, laminaribiose and gentiobiose were the main disaccharides identified. With the exception of gentiobiose, these disaccharides are now reported for the first time in wine. Lactose (4-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-glucose), previously described in this product, was also tentatively identified. Several free glycosides: β-ethyl-glucoside and seven glyceryl-glycosides (including glucosides and galactosides) were also identified for the first time in wine. On the contrary, disaccharides in grape juice were mainly constituted of fructose derivatives, including sucrose, and no glycosides were detected. Although the total amount of disaccharides was different in white wines (<50 mg/L) from those in rosé and red wines (80–130 mg/L), the chromatographic profile was noticeably similar in all wine samples. The method here reported allows the identification of several carbohydrates which have not been previously detected in wines and could contribute to increase the understanding of enzymatic activity during winemaking. 相似文献
Amphiphile-based supramolecular solvents (ASSs), which are water immiscible liquids consisting of supramolecular aggregates in the nano- and micro-scale regimes dispersed in a continuous phase, were assessed for the extraction of trace contaminants in liquid foods. The ASS selected was made up of reversed micelles of decanoic dispersed in tetrahydrofuran (THF)-water and the contaminants used as a model were bisphenol A (BPA), ochratoxin A (OTA) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaPy). The influence of matrix components on the extractant solvent production, extraction recoveries and actual concentration factors was investigated by using commercial foods such as wine and wine-based products, beer, soft drinks and tea and coffee brews, and/or aqueous synthetic solutions containing specific food matrix components. The method involved the addition of decanoic acid (80mg) and THF (0.8-1.7mL) to the food sample (15mL), stirring of the mixture for 5min, centrifugation for 10min and analysis of 10-20microL of the extract by liquid chromatography coupled to fluorimetry for OTA and BaPy or to mass spectrometry for BPA. No clean-up of the crude extracts was required for any of the samples analysed. The quantification limits for the contaminants (14-31ngL(-1), 0.37-0.39ngL(-1) and 562-602ngL(-1) for OTA, BaPy and BPA, respectively) were far below their respective European legislative threshold limits. Recoveries for food samples were in the ranges 79-93%, 90-96% and 78-82% for OTA, BaPy and BPA, respectively, with relative standard deviations ranging from 1 to 7%, and actual concentrations factors between 65 and 141. The methods developed were applied to the determination of the target compounds in a variety of commercial foods. OTA was found in vinegar, must and beer samples, the concentrations ranging from 92 to 177ngL(-1), BaPy was quantified in samples of tea and coffee at concentrations between 1.5 and 16.6ngL(-1) whereas BPA was detected in two canned soft drinks and quantified in one of them (tea beverage) at a level of 2.3microgL(-1). 相似文献
A chemometrical approach was applied to develop a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of carbamazepine and its impurities iminostilbene and iminodibenzyl in solid dosage form. According to contemporary literature, no method was developed for simultaneous determination of carbamazepine and these impurities by chemometrical approach. The fractional factorial design was used for selection of variables significantly influencing the chromatographic separation of the investigated substances. The investigated variables were: temperature of the column, the percentage of organic modifier, the acetate buffer concentration and pH of water phase. The first three variables were proved to be significant and were optimized by face centered, central composite design. Investigation was performed using C18 XBridge Shield analytical column (50 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., particle size 3.5 µm). The optimal conditions for the separation were established with the mobile phase composition of methanol–10 mM acetate buffer (pH adjusted to 2.21 with glacial acetic acid) (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL min?1, 25 °C column temperature and detection at 260 nm. Total analysis time was shortened to about 8 min. Finally, the method was successfully validated and subsequently applied to the analysis of commercially available carbamazepine tablets. 相似文献
An optical fiber biosensor has been developed for the determination of catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) based on the recognition capacity of the enzyme laccase. In this study, a glass tube constituted by a fused silica fiber coated with a film of polystyrene/divinylbenzene resin (PS/DVB) was used for catecholamines separation. Firstly, the analyzer was tested for calibration and its analytical performance for catecholamines detection was compared with a classical analytical method, namely high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector (HPLC-ED). The developed analytical device shows a high potential for catecholamines quantification with a detection limit of 2.1, 2.6 and 3.4 pg mL−1 for dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively. The analytical sensitivity, inferred from the slope of the calibration curves established for a range of concentrations between 5 and 125 pg mL−1, was found to be 0.344, 0.252 and 0.140 dB/pg mL−1 for dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively. Furthermore, catecholamines speciation with the PS/DVB fiber was completely achieved in 3 min. The analytical performance of the reported sensor was also evaluated and found adequate for catecholamines determination in human urine and plasma samples. 相似文献
The cembranoid 1 and the furanocembranolides 2-4 along with the known pukalide were isolated from Leptogorgia sp. and their structures determined spectroscopically. The 1,4-diketo-cembranoid 1 follows an oxidation pattern of C-18 that reinforces the concept of oxidation profile of C-18 as taxonomical marker for octocorals. The co-occurrence within a species of furanocembranolide/1,4-diketo-cembranoid congeners 1/2-4 raises the question about which one is the biogenetic precursor. A biogenetic pathway is proposed. 相似文献
Carbon nanofibers synthesized via the thermo catalytic decomposition of methane were investigated for the first time as an electrocatalyst support in PEMFC cathodes. Their textural and physical properties make them a highly efficient catalyst support for cathodic oxygen reduction in low temperature PEMFC. Tests performed in MEAs showed that Pt supported on carbon nanofibers exhibited an enhancement of ca. 94% in power density at 0.600 V, in comparison with a commercial catalyst supported on conventional carbon black, Pt/Vulcan XC-72R. 相似文献
The present work is part of a broader research program on the energetics of formation of heterocycles, aiming the study of
the enthalpic effects of the introduction of different substituents into heterocycles. In this work we present the results
of the thermochemical research on sulphur heterocycles of the type substituted thiophenes with different kind of substituents,
mainly alkyl, ester, acetyl, carboxamide, acetamide, carbonitrile and carboxaldehyde.
The standard (po=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the condensed phase, at T=298.15 K, of a large number of substituted thiophenes, were derived from their standard massic energies of combustion, measured
by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry, while the standard molar enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation of those compounds
were obtained either by high temperature Calvet Microcalorimetry, or by the temperature dependence of their vapour pressures
determined by the Knudsen effusion technique. The standard molar enthalpies of formation, of the studied sulphur heterocycles
in the gaseous phase, were then derived. The results are interpreted in terms of structural contributions to the energetics
of the substituted thiophenes, the internal consistency of the results is discussed and, whenever appropriate and possible,
empirical correlations are suggested for the estimation of standard molar enthalpies of formation, at T=298.15 K, of substituted thiophenes. A Table of enthalpic increments for different group substituents in positions 2 or 3
of the thiophene ring has been established. 相似文献
Fooling enzymes with mock amides : Analogues of apicidin, a cyclic‐tetrapeptide inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC), were designed with a 1,4‐ or 1,5‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazole in place of a backbone amide bond to fix the bond in question in either a trans‐like or a cis‐like configuration. Thus, the binding affinity of distinct peptide conformations (see picture) could be probed. One analogue proved in some cases to be superior to apicidin as an HDAC inhibitor.
Cobalt cyclopentadienyl complexes incorporating a fumarate and a CO ligand (see picture) efficiently catalyze inter‐ and intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloadditions of alkynes, nitriles, and/or alkenes to give benzenes, pyridines, or 1,3‐cyclohexadienes. Unlike catalysts such as [CpCo(CO)2] or [CpCo(C2H4)2] (Cp=C5H5), they are air‐stable, easy to handle, compatible with microwave conditions, and do not necessarily require irradiation to be active.
