Objective: To establish a rapid determination method with gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA), a vinyl chloride (VCM) biomarker.

Methods: A high- sensitivity determination method was established using a moderate methyl esterification instead of methyl esterification of highly toxic diazo reaction.

Results: The standard curve regression linear equation of the method was: y=8460.5x-4758.2, the linear coefficient was 0.999 7, the minimum quantity concentration was 2.0 µg/L, the range of precision value was 0.81%-2.38%, and the average recovery of standard addition was 99.0%-102.9%.

Conclusion: This method reduces the risk of traditional methyl esterification, improves the determination sensitivity compared with the GC-FPD method, and meets the determination requirement of TDGA.

Harmful algal biotoxins in the marine environment are a threat to human food safety due to their bioaccumulation in bivalve shellfish. Whilst official control monitoring provides ongoing risk management for regulated toxins in live bivalve molluscs, no routine monitoring system is currently in operation in the UK for other non-regulated toxins. To assess the potential presence of such compounds, a systematic screen of bivalve shellfish was conducted throughout Great Britain.

Article Synopsis
  • * Overexpression of MaFLA27 led to increased expression of genes involved in cell wall components and modification, contributing to thicker cell walls and higher levels of cellulose, lignin, and certain pectins in plants.
  • * In contrast to wild-type plants, MaFLA27-overexpressing plants showed lower levels of pectin methyl-esterification and reduced reactive oxygen species after cold exposure, indicating a potential mechanism for improved cold tolerance linked to cell wall modifications.

The red prickly pear fruit ( L. Mill), endemic from Mexico's semi-desert regions and present in North Africa and Southern Europe, particularly Italy and Spain, is a valuable source of nutrients, bioactive compounds, and polysaccharides. This study used non-destructive techniques like microscopy and Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy to characterize polysaccharides extracted from two red prickly pear varieties.

U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Fort Pierce, FL 34945, USA.

Steam explosion (STEX) of peel from commercially juice-extracted oranges was used to convert peel pectin into pectic oligosaccharides (POSs). Surprisingly uniform populations, based on the polydispersity index (PDI; weight-average molecular weight (M)/number-average molecular weight (M)) of POSs, were obtained from the Hamlin and Valencia varieties of . The POSs from Hamlin and Valencia peel had PDI values of (1.

Approximately 16,000 thousand tonnes of cocoa husk are produced annually worldwide during the chocolate production chain, representing considerable potential for pectin extraction. The aim of this study was to investigate a new extraction technique using a binary system composed of carbon dioxide and water (CO + HO) at high pressure and temperature, on cocoa sample from floodplain ecosystem. Temperatures of 393.
