In this work, a new method based on headspace-single drop microextraction for the determination of residual acetone in cosmetics by microfluorospectrometry is proposed. Acetone causes fluorescence changes in a 2.5 µL-ethanolic drop (40% v/v) containing 3.10(-4) mol L(-1) 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin ('turn off') or 6.10(-6) mol L(-1) 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin ('turn on'). Polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds of short chain alcohols (polar protic solvents) were crucial in order to observe these changes in the presence of acetone (polar aprotic solvent). Parameters related with the HS-SDME procedure were studied, namely headspace volume, composition, volume and temperature of drop, microextraction time, stirring rate, mass and temperature of sample, as well as the effect of potential interferents (alcohols and fragrances). The high volatility of acetone allows its extraction from an untreated cosmetic sample within 3 min. A detection limit of 0.26 µg g(-1) and repeatability, expressed as relative standard deviation, around 5% were reached. Accuracy of the proposed methodology was evaluated by means of recovery studies. The method was successfully used to analyze different cosmetics. Simplicity and high sample throughput can be highlighted.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different extraction parameters (temperature, time, acetone volume, and liquid-to-solid ratio) affect the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) content in various materials like potato, wheat, corn, soybean, and peanut.
- Using Design-Expert software, an orthogonal experiment was designed to optimize these conditions, finding specific optimal temperatures and times for each material while measuring UFA content with gas chromatography.
- The cubic model fit the extraction data well, achieving high determination coefficients for the parameters, and the model's reliability was confirmed through a follow-up experiment with rice, showing a very high correlation between predicted and actual values.
Production and concentration of keratinases and application of fermentation residual in removing hexavalent chromium.

The production of keratinases was evaluated in submerged fermentation with Aspergillus niger and by pigs' swine hair in a batch bioreactor. Experimental planning was performed to assess the interaction between different variables. The enzyme extract produced was characterized at various pH and temperatures and subjected to enzyme concentration using a biphasic aqueous system and salt/solvent precipitation techniques.

A recombinant esterase, BaCE, derived from Bacillus aryabhattai and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, was successfully immobilized on polyethyleneimine-impregnated mesoporous silica SBA-15. This immobilization utilized glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. Optimal conditions were established with a PEI/SBA-15 ratio of 25% (w/w), a pH of 7.

A non-invasive capacitance instrument was embedded in the base of a vacuum-drying tray to monitor continuously the residual amount of solvent left in a pharmaceutical powder. Proof of concept was validated with Microcrystalline Cellulose laced with water, as well as water/acetone mixtures absorbed in a spray-dried Copovidone powder. To illustrate the role of impermeability of the base, we derive a model of vapor sorption that reveals the existence of a kinetic limit when solids are thinly spread, and a diffusion limit with greatly diminished effective diffusivity at large powder thickness.

The polynuclear complex [{μ-1,4,,″-CH{C(H)=N(Bu)}-2,5}{Pd(μ-OAc)}] () reacts with tbbpy (4,4'-di--butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) and TlOTf to form the dinuclear complex [{μ-1,4,,″-CH{C(H)=N(Bu)}-2,5}{Pd(tbbpy)}] (). The hydrolysis of with acetic acid in a 5:1 acetone/water mixture, in the presence of two equivalents of tbbpy and excess NaX (X = Br, I), yields the dipalladated terephthalaldehyde complexes [CH{PdX(tbbpy)}-1,4-(CHO)-2,5] [X = Br (), X = I ()], which are the first fully characterized complexes of this type. The reaction of with CO results in the insertion of CO into both aryl-Pd bonds, forming [CH{C(O){PdX(tbbpy)}}-1,4-(CHO)-2,5] [X = Br (), X = I ()], which are the first examples of complexes with CO inserted into two separate aryl-metal bonds involving the same ligand.
