Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is an effective tool for the preconcentration of trace elements and their separation from various sample constituents. Octadecyl and other alkyl-bonded silica gels are most widely used for these purposes. The fundamentals of the SPE of inorganic ions are reviewed and compared with those of related techniques (liquid-liquid extraction and reversed-phase liquid chromatography). The extraction of ions in the form of chelate compounds, inorganic salts solvated by neutral reagents, and ion-pair compounds is considered. Numerous applications of SPE to the separation and preconcentration of different elements and their species, including on-line combinations with instrumental determination techniques, are described and tabulated.

Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the disruption in the balance between free radical generation and antioxidant defenses, leading to potential tissue damage. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can interact with biological components, triggering processes like protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, or DNA damage, resulting in the generation of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Recently, VOCs provided new insight into cellular metabolism and can serve as potential biomarkers.

Background: Considering the large diversity of chemicals present in the environment and the need to study their effects (alone or as mixtures), the development of high-throughput in vitro assays in line with the Replacement, Reduction, Refinement (3R) strategy is essential for chemical risk assessments.
Results: We developed a robust analytical workflow based on both low resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to quantify 13 steroids in NCI-H295R cell culture medium, human plasma and serum. The workflow was validated by screening media from the NCI-H295R cell line exposed in dose-response experiments to 5 endocrine disruptors (EDs) such as bisphenol A, prochloraz, ketoconazole, atrazine and forskolin.
Supercritical fluid extrusion of pea flour and pea protein concentrate: Effects on off-flavor removal and sensory improvement.

This study was intended to provide a novel process that fills a knowledge gap in relation to the enhancement of pulses utilization. The primary goal was to develop an experimental framework for using a high-pressure supercritical fluid extruder (SCFX) as a continuous bioreactor to produce off-flavor reduced and functionally superior pulse flours and protein concentrates in a single step. The current study focused on using SCFX processing to remove off-flavor from pulse flour and protein concentrates, enhancing the quality, acceptability, and marketability of pulse-based products.

The co-occurrence of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems highlights the need for studies investigating their potential toxicity as mixtures to the aquatic biota. Well-designed studies are essential to assess the presence and toxicity of relevant pesticide mixtures, particularly those such as the chloroacetamide herbicide metolachlor (MET), the triazole fungicide epoxiconazole (EP) and the diamide anthranilic insecticide chlorantraniliprole (CAP), which have not been previously tested, and whose co-occurrence is possible in waters close to cultivated areas. A solid phase extraction ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry method was developed to quantify equivalent toxicity concentrations for CAP, EP, and MET in artificial freshwater during acute toxicity tests.

Monitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with endocrine-disrupting properties poses significant analytical challenges due to labor-intensive, costly, and environmentally unsustainable procedures. This study developed an efficient and robust approach for the simultaneous detection of diverse groups of semi-volatile organics in water and sediment samples using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Two extraction methods were studied for determining POPs in water and sediments.
