Nonvolatile compounds cannot be analysed unless pyrolysis or derivatisation converts them to a condition amenable to GC. Derivatisation GC (or LC) has been used for several components such as erucamide (imidi-sation for volatility), fatty amines (aromatic amidation for UV detectability), and polyethylene oxides (esterification for both volatility and detectability) [178]. The surface concentration of erucamide on extruded LLDPE films was determined quantitatively by surface washings with ether, followed by evaporation, dissolution... 

FD-MS is a very effective technique for determining molecular weights of thermally labile and nonvolatile compounds, such as polymer additives which do not give good molecular ion spectra during electron impact or chemical ionisation [108], In order to enhance the structural information of the technique, MS/MS approaches must be used [96], Hyphenated chromatography-FD/FT-MS techniques appear to be restricted to on-line GC-MS. 

Yang et al. [389] rapidly distinguished compounds extracted from paper, using on-line SFE-SFC-FHR in conjunction with principal component analysis. The quantitative determination of the surfactant mixture Triton X-100 and other complex oligoether surfactants by means of cSFC-FTIR flow-cells has been reported [390,391]. Practical applications of SFC-FTIR include the determination of nonvolatile compounds from microwave-susceptible packaging that may migrate into heated food. Another application is the analysis of fibre finishes on fibre/textile matrices. 

For the analysis of nonvolatile compounds, on-line coupled microcolumn SEC-PyGC has been described [979]. Alternatively, on-line p,SEC coupled to a conventional-size LC system can be used for separation and quantitative determination of compounds, in which volatility may not allow analysis via capillary GC [976]. An automated SEC-gradient HPLC flow system for polymer analysis has been developed [980]. The high sample loading capacity available in SEC makes it an attractive technique for intermediate sample cleanup [981] prior to a more sensitive RPLC technique. Hence, this intermediate step is especially interesting for experimental purposes whenever polymer matrix interference cannot be separated from the peak of interest. Coupling of SEC to RPLC is expected to benefit from the miniaturised approach in the first dimension (no broadening). Development of the first separation step in SEC-HPLC is usually quite short, unless problems are encountered with sample/column compatibility. 

The evaporation of water is generally used to determine the gas film coefficient. A loss of heat in the water body can also be related to the gas film coefficient because the process of evaporation requires a significant amount of heat, and heat transfer across the water surface is analogous to evaporation if other sources and sinks of heat are taken into account. Although the techniques of Section 8.D can be used to determine the gas film coefficient over water bodies, they are still iterative, location specific, and dependent on fetch or wind duration. For that reason, investigators have developed empirical relationships to characterize gas film coefficient from field measurements of evaporation or temperature. Then, the air-water transfer of a nonvolatile compound is given as... 

There have been some unsuccessful attempts to prepare a volatile hexafluoride from fluorine and polonium-210 26, 104), but recently such a fluoride has been prepared in this way from polonium-208 plated on platinum 132). The product appears to be stable while in the vapor phase, but on cooling a nonvolatile compound is formed, probably polonium tetrafluoride resulting from radiation decomposition of the hexafluoride. Analytical data are not recorded for any polonium fluoride, largely owing to the difficulty of determining fluoride ion accurately at the microgram level. 

Oxidation of Alcohols. Alcohols (1 equiv.) were dissolved in dry DCM (15 mmol/liter) and treated with resin 5 (1.75 equiv.) for 3 h at RT. The resin was filtered off and washed with dry DCM. From the filtrate the volatile compounds were analyzed by GC-MS. The nonvolatile compounds were analyzed by HPLC-MS. For product isolation the collected filtrates from several washings (DCM, 3x2 ml) were evaporated yielding 5 mg of starting alcohols piperonal 4.2 mg (84% yield) and Fmoc-L-phenylalaninal 4.1 mg (82% yield). Purity and identity of the products were determined by GC or HPLC and by NMR spectroscopy. 

Certain of the nonvolatile compounds affected the ability of panelists to determine the threshold of d-limonene (Table V). Thus, precision appeared high in solutions of water and in the aqueous solutions of sugar alone, but was less in solutions containing pectin and least in solutions containing acid. 

The total phenolic compounds in an aqueous sample can be determined by a colorimetric method using 4-aminoantipyrine. This reagent reacts with phenolic compounds at pH 8 in the presence of potassium ferricyanide to form a colored antipyrine dye, the absorbance of which is measured at 500 nm. The antipyrine dye may also be extracted from the aqueous solution by chloroform. The absorbance of the chloroform extract is measured at 460 nm. The sample may be distilled before analysis for the removal of interfering nonvolatile compounds. The above colorimetric method determines only ortho- and meta-substituted phenols and not all phenols. When the pH is properly adjusted, certain para-substituted phenols, which include methoxyl-, halogen-, carboxyl-, and sulfonic acid substituents, may be analyzed too.

Sulfur Compounds Determine as directed in the Sulfate Limit Test under Chloride and Sulfate Limit Tests, Appendix IIIB, using the residue of the following Dissolve 4 g of sample in 40 mL of water, add about 10 mg of sodium carbonate and 1 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide, and evaporate the solution to dryness on a steam bath. Any turbidity produced does not exceed that shown in a control containing 200 jxg of sulfate (S04) ion. 

Glucose was the only major sugar and IMP and GMP were the only major nucleotides found. A sensory evaluation of the different processed products Indicated a preference for the drum dried product over the freeze or spray dried product. This preference could not be explained from sugar or nucleotide values and the amino acid data was Inconclusive. Since the authors have amassed such a large data pool for both volatile and nonvolatile compounds 1t Is unfortunate that some form of data analysis such as multlvarlent statistical analysis was not applied so as to determine which compounds were primarily responsible for the perceived flavor preference. 

In contrast to GC, liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) does not require a derivatization step before sample analysis. Separation of metabolite from sample matrix is achieved using chromatography columns with various stationary phases of different physicochemical characteristics. LC-MS is more often used than GC-MS because it is more suitable for unstable compounds, compounds difficult to derivatize, and nonvolatile compounds [6, 7]. Therefore, a wider range of metabolites with various physicochemical properties can be determined using LC-MS. Moreover, the sample pretreatment procedure is much simpler, which can have a great impact on minimization of analytical variability. 

Determinations of semi and nonvolatile compounds have mainly focused on benzothiophene and other hetero aromatic substances. Popp et al. favored polyacrylate for the enrichment of benzothiophenes. LODs between 0.4 and 5 ng/1 were reached. Usable results were also found with the divinylbenzene/polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) fiber recommended for compounds with a higher molecular weight. Johansen et al. applied polyacrylate with limits of detection between 20 and 40 ng/1 for thiophene and several benzothiophenes. 

The growing importance of this technique in the field of environmental analysis is emphasized by the appearance of first CE methods that are applicable to routine problems such as the determination of polar volatiles, most semivolatiles, nonvolatiles (e.g., herbicides), inorganic cations, inorganic anions, and natural organic matter (NOM). Most of the compounds determined by CE in different environmental matrices are shown in Table 1. 

The volatile nature of ethanol makes it eminently suitable for headspace analysis. The principle on which the method is based is that of partition theory, i.e., that the concentration of a volatile species in the headspace above a solution is proportional to the concentration of that species in solution. Procedures based on this principle must therefore be classed as indirect , but nevertheless they have some advantages over direct methods, the most important being that the procedure separates volatile species from the numerous nonvolatile compounds commonly found in alcoholic beverages. As most sensors used in instrumentation for the determination of ethanol are at best semispecific and are usually oxidative in... 

Similar to beryllium n-diaUcoxides, zinc dialkoxides are also insoluble and nonvolatile compounds. " " The alkylzinc alkoxides are, however, less polymeric and exhibit higher volatility. For example, the cryoscopic molecular weight determination in benzene indicates that methylzinc methoxide and terf-butoxide as well as ethylzinc tert-butoxide are tetrameric" with sublimation temperatures of 60, 95, and 105°C, respectively under 0.0001 mm pressure. ...
