A nanoporous carbon derived from bimetallic organic-framework for magnetic solid-phase extraction of bisphenol analogs.

Taking Zn-Fe bimetallic organic-framework as both template and precursor, and furfuryl alcohol (FA) as secondary carbon source, a high-surface-area magnetic nanoporous carbon (MNPC) material was successful prepared. The MNPC exhibits excellent adsorption performance for bisphenol analogs (BPs). The maximum adsorption capacity achieved 439.

Selective adsorption and separation of illegal cationic dyes from foodstuffs with anionic polyelectrolyte functionalised metal-organic frameworks.

A novel adsorbent, poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) modified MIL-101(Cr)-NH, was successfully prepared. Owing to its high surface area and degree of negative surface charge, it enables effective adsorption and separation of illegal cationic dyes, such as rhodamine B, pararosaniline, and auramine O, from foodstuffs prior to high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Under optimised conditions, good linearity was obtained over 1.

Two angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitory peptides from almond protein and the protective action on vascular endothelial function.

This study aimed to discover and prepare novel angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from almond protein and further evaluate the effect on endothelial function of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Almond protein was hydrolyzed using a two-stage alcalase-protamex hydrolysis process, and the hydrolysates were subjected to a series of separations, ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, and reversed-phased preparative chromatography, to obtain the active peptides. Seven ACE inhibitory fractions with the molecular weight below 1.

[Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction with RSM and HPLC determination for three iridoid glycosides in Cornus officinalis].

Objective: To establish a method of microwave-assisted extraction and high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) for simultaneous determination of three iridoid glycosides including loganin, sweroside and cornuside in Cornus officinalis.

Methods: The extraction conditions of microwave power,ethanol concentration, liquid to sample ratio were optimized with a response surface methodology (RSM); Three constituents were separated on an Agilent TC-C18 column by gradient elution using acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.

Response surface optimization of microwave-assisted extraction for HPLC-fluorescence determination of puerarin and daidzein in .

Microwave-assisted extraction was optimized with response surface methodology for HPLC-fluorescence determination of puerarin and daidzein in The optimized extraction procedure was achieved by soaking the sample with 70% methanol (1:15, v/v) for 30 min, and then microwave irradiation for 11 min at a power of 600 W. Coupling the extraction process with HPLC-fluorescence presented good recovery, satisfactory precision, and good linear relation. Compared with a method from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the proposed method enables higher extraction efficiency and more aecurate analytical results.
