Extraction and Analysis

After crushing almond kernels, 1 g is weighed on a filter paper, the paper folded and twisted around the sample and introduced into the Kjeldahl test tube. Run two reagent blanks (with filter paper) through all stages of procedure and subtract blank titration from the sample titration. Two blanks are sufficient for a day s run.

HPLC analysis of anatoxin-a was first carried out by Astrachan and Archer, " who extracted the toxin from Anabaenaflos-aquae using chloroform followed by hydrochloric acid. The HPLC analysis was carried out on an ODS column using hypochlorate-methanol. Other systems used since include acetic acid extraction and analysis on a reversed-phase C g column using methanol-water mobile phase, and extraction in water after ultrasonication and analysis on reversed-phase... 

The chlorine content of the fly ash is 4.9 %, the bromine content 0.065 %. A series of brominated aromatic compounds has been adsorbed on this fly ash and treated for 1 h. with air at 300°C. The extraction and analysis yield mixed brominated/chlorinated as well as completely chlorinated products. This is shown for 5 aromatic bromine compounds in Table 2. 

In the past, no snitable analytical methodologies were capable of investigating these multiple reactions and even today, the complete extraction and analysis of all the componnds is still a difficult task. The methods for extraction must be optimized for each sample according to the solubility of either phytylated (chlorophylls and pheophytins) or dephytylated (chlorophyllides and pheophorbides) derivatives, often requiring several repeated steps and the use of a single or a mixture of organic solvents. 

Carmen Socaciu was bom in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and earned a BSc in chemistry in 1976, an MSc in 1977, and a PhD in 1986 from the University Babes-Bolyai in Cluj-Napoca, an important academic centre located in the Transylvania region. Dr. Socaciu worked as a researcher in medical and cellular biochemistry for more than 10 years, and became a lecturer in 1990 and full professor in 1998 in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV) in Cluj-Napoca. She extended her academic background in pure chemistry (synthesis and instrumental analysis) to the life sciences (agrifood chemistry and cellular biochemistry). Her fields of competence are directed especially toward natural bioactive phytochemicals (carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids), looking to advanced methods of extraction and analysis and to their in vitro actions on cellular metabolism, their effects as functional food ingredients, and their impacts on health.

The metabolite will frequently be more polar than the initial substrate, so that specific procedures for extraction and analysis must generally be developed, and the pure compound must be available for quantification. 

The method detection limit (MDL) is a term that should be applied to extraction and analysis methods developed for the analysis of specific analytes within a matrix. The MDL can be defined as the smallest amount of an analyte that can be reliably... 

The OPMBS workbooks required the user to enter sample identification and the dates of collection, extraction, and analysis. Additionally, entries were required for the analytical responses of calibrants, the corresponding responses of sample extracts, and the parameters needed to calculate the LOD. Given the required input information, the spreadsheet automatically calculated and displayed, for each analyte ... 

During the 1990s, much attention has been shifted to the development and utilization of on-line systems of extraction and analysis. The evolution of computers and... 

The ability of metal ions to form complexes with formazans is utilized to determine these ions either directly (for low valent reducing ions) or indirectly in the presence of a reducing agent. Among others, molybdenum(VI) and vanadium(V) have been determined using this method.442,443 Indirect methods have been reported for the analyses of substances that do not reduce tetrazolium salts. Examples include arsenic in nickel ores436 and traces of selenium.437 A method for the extraction and analysis of a number of metal ternary ion association complexes has been described.444 - 448...

Whereas SPE is a sample cleanup method, SPME is essentially a solvent-free sampling method. Stir bars in hyphenated SBSE-TDS-CGC configuration for product control analysis are a powerful tool for the extraction and analysis of organic compounds in aqueous matrices. 

Leaf samples were stored at 4 to 7°C in the laboratory until analysis. After extraction and analysis, the leaf volume was measured by stereometric volumetry using a method described by Sherle (1970). A relationship between leaf volume and leaf area was determined for carnation leaves by measuring leaf area (one-sided) of leaf samples with different leaf volumes using a surface area meter (LI-COR 3100, Ll-Cor, Inc., Nebraska). 

Silica-based restricted access materials (RAM) have been developed for cleanup in bioanalysis, first for low molecular weight compounds in biofluids (Rbeida et al., 2005) and subsequently for biopolymers such as peptides (Wagner et al., 2002). A classification of different types of RAM has been given by Boos and Rudolphi (1997). Novel RAMs with strong cation-exchange functionality have been synthesized and implemented in the sample cleanup of biofluids. Racaityte et al. (2000) have shown that this type of RAM is highly suitable for the online extraction and analysis of...

In 2003, Prior and others described methods for the extraction and analysis of hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants, using modifications of the ORAC procedure. These methods provide, for the first time, the ability to obtain a measure of total antioxidant capacity in the protein free plasma, using the same peroxyl radical generator for both lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants. This assay was also used to measure the total antioxidant capacity of guava fruit extracts (Thaipong and others 2006). 

Systematic trends are shown after MMI extraction and analysis for a number of elements, including Cu, Au and Ag. Figure 3 shows the range of MMI values obtained for Cu in overbank (SOS) samples.

Sandy soils are easiest to extract and analyze, while clay soils are the hardest. Drying, crushing, and sieving will aid in extraction and analysis, although it may not be necessary to crush very sandy soils. Clayey soils may retain small amounts of contamination even after extensive extraction (see Figure 1.1). In all cases, extraction and analysis procedures must be robust enough to handle all textures containing all clay types [4],... 

SFE may also be coupled to GC and HPLC systems [28] for a simple on-line extraction and analysis system. Lycopene is determined in food products such as tomatoes and tomato products, using SFE coupled to HPLC with an HPLC column used for trapping and analysis. The method is short, requires small sample amounts, and has good linearity and sensitivity. Because the entire system is closed, there is little chance for the lycopene to degrade. 

The overall method includes sample collection and storage, extraction, and analysis steps. Sampling strategy is an important step in the overall process. Care must be taken to assure that the samples collected are representative of the environmental medium and that they are collected without contamination. There is an extensive list of test methods for water analysis (Tables 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4), which includes numerous modifications of the original methods, but most involve alternative extraction methods developed to improve overall method performance for the analysis. Solvent extraction methods with hexane are also in use. 

Both WSV and FSV methods were rapid, with extraction and analysis completed in an honr. A single tablet was used to minimize sample volume and solvent nse. This is more acceptable for OTC prodncts. Further details and data were published elsewhere. Table 4 shows assay data on precision and recovery and Figure 7 shows HPLC chromatograms of WSV in standard solution and in multivitamin extracts.
