Cucurbituril and zwitterionic surfactant-based matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction to simultaneously determine terpenoids from Radix Curcumae.

A rapid, efficient, and environmentally friendly matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction was established to determine and quantify terpenoids in Radix Curcumae using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector. Various parameters affecting the extraction were investigated in detail, such as the grinding time, amount of adsorbent, type and concentration of elution solvent, and pH. The optimization of single-factor and response surface methodology was performed to confirm the best conditions in this procedure.

In situ antioxidation-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction and discrimination of chiral flavonoids from citrus fruit via ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight high-resolution mass spectrometry.

A simple and sensitive in situ antioxidation process assisted with a matrix solid-phase dispersion method for extracting chiral flavonoids in citrus fruit was established, and samples were further analyzed using ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight high-resolution mass spectrometry. The collision cross-sections of the target compounds were studied using single-field and stepped-field methods. The optimal conditions were obtained using 30 mg of C as a dispersant, methanol as an elution solvent and 0.

On-line concentration of triazine herbicides in microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography by electrokinetic injection assisted micelle to cyclodextrin stacking.

A fast, simple, environmentally friendly and sensitive on-line concentration method using microemulsion system as background solution (BGS) was developed for the trace detection of propazine, atrazine, simazine in food samples. The electrokinetic injection assisted micelle to cyclodextrin stacking (MCDS) was designed for the enrichment of target compounds. The factors affected enrichment performance, such as the kind of CDs, the amount of CDs, the concentration of methanol in BGS, the concentration of micelle in sample matrix, the concentration of phosphoric acid in BGS and the sample injection time were optimized.

Micellar extraction with vesicle coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to assist the dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction of natural phenols in Dendrobium.

Here, catanionic surfactant vesicles were prepared by varying the types and compositions of anions and cations and the number of alkyl tails of the surfactants. The formed vesicles were employed to disaggregate and stabilize multiwalled carbon nanotubes bundles in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the vesicle coated carbon nanotubes were used as the adsorbent in the dispersive micro-solid phase extraction.

Simultaneous separation and concentration of neutral analytes by cyclodextrin assisted sweeping-micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

An on-line cyclodextrin assisted sweeping-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD assisted sweeping-MEKC) was developed for the simultaneous separation and concentration of four neutral analytes (erianin, dendrophenol, naringenin and scoparone) in Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (D. officinale). The D.

Oxidative metabolism of typical phenolic compounds of Danshen by electrochemistry coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry.

An electrochemistry coupled to online quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (EC/Q-TOF/MS) was applied to investigate the oxidative transformation and metabolic pathway of five phenolic acids in Danshen sample. Simulation of the phase I oxidative metabolism was carried out in an electrochemical reactor equipped with a glassy carbon working electrode. The phase II reactivity of the generated oxidative products towards biomolecules (such as glutathione) was investigated by ways of covalent adduct formation experiments.

Solid acids assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction of alkaloids by capillary electrophoresis coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

The quantification of three alkaloids is important because quantitative study is a means of assessing the reliability of the experimental method, and three alkaloids of peimine, peiminine, and peimisine are main active ingredients in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015. An effective method based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction was developed for the extraction of alkaloid compounds in Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus. Target analytes were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
