A method was developed for the determination of '-ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) in bioconversion samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An InertSustain AQ-C column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used in the analysis. The mobile phase was 25% (v/v) methanol with 1.0 g/L Cu(COCH)·HO, 2.0 g/L tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, and the pH was adjusted to 2.80 with phosphoric acid. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.0 mL/min, and the column temperature was set at 30℃. The detection wavelength was 254 nm. EDDS, fumaric acid, citric acid, malic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were separated from one another within 8 min. EDDS showed good linearity in the range of 0.06-0.6 g/L. About 0.25 g/L EDDS was detected in the biosynthesis reaction solution catalyzed by recombinant EDDS-lyase, while 36.56 g/L malic acid was formed as the by-product from fumaric acid. The catalytic activity of the enzyme was confirmed in the hydrolysis of 10 g/L EDDS, which produced 3.05 g/L malic acid in 3 h. This analytical method is simple, rapid, sensitive, reliable, and suitable for the analysis in the research of EDDS bioconversion process.

The alcoholic fermentation of wine is mostly achieved by the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae that display a large variability for their ability to consume or produce malic acid. To better characterize the metabolism of such group of strains we explored their non-volatile metabolome using an untargeted LC-HRMS approach. The chemical classes and the putative structures of several hundred compounds where annotated using MS2 spectra using the SIRIUS software.

Background: Acute pharyngitis (AP) is a common condition marked by inflammation of the oropharynx, which can lead to severe throat swelling, breathing difficulties, and even suffocation, significantly impacting quality of life. Despite the beneficial anti-inflammatory activity of Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma (GRER) and Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), their pharmacological mechanisms against AP remain unclear.
Purpose: This study explores the mechanisms by which GRER treats AP, utilizing both transcriptomics and metabolomics approaches.

An online reactive internal extraction electrospray ionization (iEESI) method was developed for the rapid determination of organic and inorganic speciation information for selenium in poultry tissue samples without complex sample pretreatment. The addition of citric acid as a reducing agent to the internal extraction solvent of methanol/acetic acid (99:1, V/V) for iEESI resulted in the reduction of selenate in the sample to selenite, accompanied by the production of malic acid as an oxidation product. The quantitative analysis of selenate was conducted by using malic acid.
