A fast derivatization/extraction method followed by LC-ESI-HRMS was optimized for the determination of volatile thiols in roasted coffee powder, using ebselen as the derivatization agent. The analytical conditions were optimized on real coffee matrix, which was spiked with representative volatile thiols. The method sensitivity, precision, accuracy and selectivity were evaluated by using representative standard thiols. Estimated LOQs were between 0.02 and 14.8ng/kg for the thiols evaluated. Recoveries and intra-day and inter-day RSD values obtained in coffee matrix were in general around 40% and between 11 and 30%, respectively. The optimized and validated method was applied to real coffee samples. According to the established identification criteria, target thiols were identified and quantified in coffee powder samples. Among them, 4-mercapto-1-butanol and 2-methyl-3-tetrahydrofuranthiol were identified and quantified for the first time in roasted coffee. Moreover, an approach based on the formation of a diagnostic product ion was applied to detect non-target thiols, allowing the detection of nineteen thiol derivatives, fourteen of them were tentatively identified on the basis of their molecular formula. Some of them, such as methanethiol and 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl acetate were known to be present in coffee volatile fraction, while the rest were not previously described in this product.

The catalytic degradation of malodorous sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds (S-VOCs), especially methanethiol (CHSH), faces an enormous challenge in striking a balance between activity and stability. Herein, we develop the time-tandem and spatial-extended strategy for synthesizing t-MoO/meso-SiO nano-reactor-type catalysts and reveal the migration and transformation behaviors of both carbon and sulfur species at the mesoscopic scale to break the catalytic CHSH activity and stability trade-off. The dynamic evolution of active centers from initial oxygen sites and acid sites to sulfur vacancies in MoS during the reaction process as well as the formation of a new dimethyl disulfide (CHSSCH) reaction pathway are identified as the main reason for the catalysts' superior activity and sulfur resistance.

The endogenous reduction of nitrite to nitrosyl is drawing increasing attention as a protective mechanism against hypoxic injury in mammalian physiology and as an alternative source of NO, which is involved in a wide variety of biological activities. Thus, chemical mechanisms for this transformation, which are mediated by metallo proteins, are of considerable interest. The study described here examines the reactions of the biomimetic models Co(TTP)(NO) (TTP = meso-tetratolylporphyrinato dianion) and Mn(TPP)(ONO) (TPP = meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrinato dianion) in sublimated solid films with hydrogen sulfide (HS) and with ethanethiol (EtSH) at various temperatures from 77 K to room temperature using in situ infrared and optical spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on three coffee estates in New South Wales, aiming to enhance the flavor profiles of Australian coffee through different processing methods (wet fermented and non-fermented).
  • Researchers analyzed 33 volatile compounds in both green and roasted coffee beans, identifying various esters, alcohols, acids, and more, while also assessing sensory characteristics like appearance and flavor.
  • Findings indicated that wet fermentation improved certain desirable aromas and flavors in coffee, particularly enhancing notes associated with premium coffees, such as "black tea leaves" and "dark chocolate."
