A simple reversed-phase LC method capable of detecting ng/ml quantities of phenolic compounds in water is described. Pre-column derivatization with benzoyl chloride is used for the separation and determination o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, phenol, resorcinol, catechol and hydroquinone in water. The benzoyl derivatives formed within in 15 min, were extracted with dietyl ether, and then analyzed by liquid chromatography with UV detection at 232 nm. With a mobile phase of acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran-water (54:6:40, v/v) the seven derivatives were eluted in 15 min. The detection limits were between 0.05 and 0.50 ng/ml for 50 ml of a standard water sample. The method was applied to the analysis of phenols in wine and river water. The recovery of the derivatives from pure water was 81-94% with relative standard deviations of 2.5-5.0%.

This study investigates the phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and fatty acids (FA) of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) derived from the Turkish olive variety "Sarı Ulak", along with ADMET, DFT, molecular docking, and gene network analyses of significant molecules identified within the EVOO. Chromatographic methods (GC-FID, HPLC) were employed to characterize FA, PC, and VC profiles, while quality parameters, antioxidant activities (TAC, ABTS, DPPH) were assessed via spectrophotometry. The analysis revealed a complex composition of 40 volatile compounds, with estragole, 7-hydroxyheptene-1, and 3-methoxycinnamaldehyde as the primary components.
