Solid-phase microextraction is proposed to measure concentrations of anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in live rat brains in response to stress. Solid-phase microextraction fibers were prepared from steel with 1.5 mm extraction coating. 24 male rats were divided into groups based on brain region, stria terminalis or posterior hypothalamus and loud noise or control groups. The fibers were desorbed in acetonitrile-water (75:25) and analyzed by ultraperformance LC-MS/MS. The linear range of the method was 0.05-50 ng/ml and the concentrations were found to be between 0.3 and 40 ng/ml. The new approach was successfully used to determine the concentrations of anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol and could be used in the future to measure other endogenous compounds.

The most important aspect of sorbent-based approaches is the use of a sustainable, readily available, and cost-effective sorbent material for sample analysis. Biochar is an emerging and prominent sorbent material for various applications in sorbent-based techniques due to its availability, affordability, eco-friendly nature, porosity, pore structure, abundance of aliphatic and aromatic carbon structures, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. On the basis of the numerous benefits of biochar, this review discusses why biochar is the preferred sorbent in sorptive-based techniques.

The volatile profile of bee pollen samples from Central and Eastern Europe was investigated by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). Sampling conditions were optimized for the extraction of volatiles. Pollen odorants were extracted with six different fiber coatings, five various extraction times, three diverse extraction temperatures and three differing desorption times.

However, the muscle of farmed exhibits a strong off-flavor, resulting in poor flavor quality. To enhance the flavor quality of the meat, this study examined the volatile compounds in muscle by establishing identification methods for these volatile odor compounds and comparing the differences between the two aquaculture modes.

Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to investigate microbial diversity and volatile compound profiles at different fermentation stages. Spearman correlation analysis was employed to identify potential associations between microbial genera and flavor compounds.

Background: Sample preparation can be a critical stage of analytical procedures that profoundly influences their performance, environmental impact, and overall efficiency. While nanomaterials have revolutionized sample preparation owing to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable surface chemistry, and enhanced adsorption capacities, limitations persist. Researchers have ushered in a new era of efficient sample preparation methodologies that could overcome the limitations of nanomaterials by introducing deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have unique advantages such as low volatility and toxicity, biodegradability, and tunability.
