Two vitamin C species of ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid in aqueous solution were monitored by flow injection analysis. Ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid were resolved by a reversed-phase column, and dehydroascorbic acid was reduced to ascorbic acid by an on-line post-column reaction with dithiothreitol. Both natural and reduced ascorbic acids were photometrically detected at 260 nm, and the two vitamin C species were simultaneously determined. The determination range was from 0 to 8 x 10(-5)M with a limit of detection of 1.7 x 10(-6)M. The proposed method was applied to the conversion monitoring of ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid in weakly acidic to weakly alkaline aqueous solutions, as well as to the determination of the vitamin C in some beverage samples.

β-Carotene (βC), a natural carotenoid, is the most important and effective vitamin A precursor, known also for its antioxidant properties. However, its poor water solubility, chemical instability, and low bioavailability limit its effectiveness as an orally delivered functional nutrient. Nanoparticle encapsulation improves βC's bioaccessibility by enhancing its stability and solubility.

This paper describes the first use of conductive metal-organic frameworks as the active material in the electrochemical detection of nitric oxide in aqueous solution. Four hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP)-based MOFs linked with first-row transition metal nodes (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were compared as thin-film working electrodes for promoting oxidation of NO using voltammetric and amperometric techniques. Cu- and Ni-linked MOF analogs provided signal enhancement of 5- to 7-fold over a control glassy carbon electrode (SA = 6.

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) of different chemical structures were widely detected in various environmental matrices. However, their health risk evaluation is lacking. Herein, three representative LCMs were selected from 74 LCM candidates upon literature review and acute cytotoxicity evaluation, then were exposed to the three LCMs for 42 days at doses of 0.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of camphor, menthol and their equimolar combination. In silico toxicity analysis confirmed the absence of toxic effects for both compounds. Antioxidant activity, assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, revealed a synergistic effect of the equimolar combination with IC50 values of 10.
