This article explores the application of chemometric tools including multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares for the simultaneous determination of gallic and caffeic acids on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode without additional modification. Gallic and caffeic acids are primary polyphenols, the most abundant in red wines produced in Argentina, and are often used as quality markers for them. These polyphenols significantly contribute to the organoleptic properties of wines from this origin, but their electrochemical signals overlap significantly, making simultaneous quantification challenging without additional experiments such as electrode modification or alternative analytical techniques beyond differential pulse voltammetry.

Article Synopsis
  • Meatpacking and poultry operations generate a large number of co-products like offal, fat, and feathers, which the rendering industry processes into valuable materials, including protein meals and rendered fats.
  • The rendered fats are primarily made up of animal triglycerides and used cooking oil, which are increasingly being utilized as feedstocks for renewable fuels like biodiesel, especially during times of energy scarcity.
  • Research demonstrated that poly(ethylenimine)-modified cellulose nanocrystals effectively reduce the concentration of unwanted metal and inorganic cations in rendered fats by about 95%, enhancing their suitability for renewable fuel refining.

Essential oils produced by medicinal plants possess important bioactive properties (antibacterial, antioxidant) of high value for human society. Pollination and herbivory can modify the chemical defences of plants and therefore they may influence the bioactivity of essential oils. However, the effect of ecological interactions on plant bioactivity has not yet been evaluated.
