Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) provides an alternative separation mode for the analysis of phenolic compounds, in which aqueous-organic mobile phases with polar stationary phases are used. This paper reports the evaluation of HILIC for the analysis of the natural pigments anthocyanins, which are of importance because of their chromophoric properties and a range of health benefits associated with their consumption. Several HILIC stationary phases (silica, diol, amine, cyanopropyl and amide) and mobile phase combinations were evaluated, with the latter proving particularly important due to the distinctive chromatographic behaviour of anthocyanins. Diode array detection was used for selective detection of anthocyanins, while high resolution quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS) was used for compound identification. The potential of HILIC separation is demonstrated for a range of anthocyanins varying in glycosylation and acylation patterns found in blueberries, grape skins, black beans, red cabbage and red radish. HILIC is shown to be a complementary separation method to reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) due to the alternative retention mechanism.

The unique structure of chitosan-based micelles can be loaded with essential oil, so it is significant to study the modification of chitosan and the interactions between chitosan and essential oil, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) provide a solution. In this study, three kinds of amphiphilic chitosan derivatives (CSDs) were constructed by grafting of different hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Amphiphilic chitosan micelles loaded with Chinese fir essential oil (CFEO) were prepared by self-assembly.

Photochemical weathering and eco-corona formation through natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption play vital roles in the aggregation tendencies of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments. However, it remains unclear how photochemical weathering alters the adsorption patterns of NOM and the conformation of the eco-corona, subsequently affecting the aggregation tendencies of NPs. This study examined the effect of Suwannee River NOM adsorption on the aggregation kinetics of pristine and photoaged polystyrene (PS) NPs in monovalent electrolyte solutions.

Metabolomics aims at identification and quantitation of key end point metabolites, basically polar, in order to study changes in biochemical activities in response to pathophysiological stimuli or genetic modifications. Targeted profiling assays enjoying a growing popularity over the last years with LC-MS/MS as a powerful tool for development of such (semi-)quantitative methods for a large number of metabolites. Here we describe a method for absolute quantitation of ca.
