Famoxadone is a recent oxazolidinedione fungicide widely used in viticulture and in Integrated Pest Management strategies. In this work, after a simple and fast liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), two new gas chromatographic methods were developed to analyze famoxadone residues in grapes and wines, one with electron-capture detection (GC-ECD) and the other with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Global uncertainties for validation parameters of both methods were compared. Limits of detection (LODs) were 0.06 and 0.02 mg/L, precision was not above 11.7 and 6.8% and recoveries were, on average, 103%+/-12 and 96%+/-12, respectively, for the GC-ECD and GC-MS methods. Similar expanded uncertainties in the range from 0.25 to 1.00 mg/L were below 35%, with increasing values for lower levels of famoxadone. GC-MS method had a lower LOD and a lower uncertainty if compared with the GC-ECD method.

Chromatographic separations in combination with spectroscopic detectors are a main pillar of today's analytical chemistry. The recorded spectroscopic data is usually not shown in a typical chromatogram, therefore the contained additional information cannot be accessed readily by the analyst and is inspected in tedious additional routines, such as separate database searches. We developed a method to add colors to gas chromatograms with mass spectral detection.

A simple analytical workflow is described for gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS)-based chiral profiling of secondary amino acids (AAs) in biological matrices. The sample preparation is carried out directly in aqueous biological sample extracts and involves in situ heptafluorobutyl chloroformate (HFBCF) derivatization-liquid-liquid microextraction of nonpolar products into hexane phase followed by subsequent formation of the corresponding methylamides from the HFB esters by direct treatment with methylamine reagent solution. The (O, N) HFB-butoxycarbonyl-methylamide AA products (HFBOC-MA) are separated on a Chirasil-L-Val capillary column and quantitatively measured by GC-MS operated in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode.

The absence of a mercaptan compounds analyzer in natural gas pressure reduction stations (PRS) odorizer leads to inaccuracies in the injection dosage, often resulting in quantities beyond standard limits and consequently increasing odorant consumption. Insufficient odorant levels in natural gas can pose safety risks to consumers, as the gas may become odorless at the end of the pipeline. Therefore, accurate determination of the concentration of key odorant compounds in natural gas can reduce both costs and environmental risks.

The synthesis of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated acids (PUFAs) is associated with physiological functions in mammals, being catalyzed by Δ-5D and Δ-6D desaturases and elongases Elovl-2 and Elovl-5. In this context, we aimed to study the chief kinetic features of PUFA liver anabolism, looking upon (i) the time-dependency for the specific activity of Δ-6D, Δ-5D, Elovl2, Elovl2/5 and Elovl5, using n-3 and n-6 precursors between 0 and 240 min ex vivo in mouse liver.; and (ii) the specific activity-substrate (α-linolenic acid; ALA) concentration responses of Δ-6D in the absence and presence of linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an enzyme regarded as the rate-limiting step in PUFA anabolism.

Green chemistry focuses on reducing the environmental impacts of chemicals through sustainable practices. Traditional methods for extracting bioactive compounds from leaves, such as hydro-distillation and organic solvent extraction, have limitations, including long extraction times, high energy consumption, and potential toxic solvent residues. This study explored the use of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and gas-expanded liquid (GXL) processes to improve efficiency and selectivity.
