- A new method combining gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with mass spectrometry was developed for detailed analysis of phenolic compounds in balsamic vinegars.
- 14 balsamic vinegar samples were analyzed, identifying 29 phenolic compounds and 6 phenolic acids, with gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid, and -coumaric acid as the main compounds.
Article Abstract
Balsamic vinegar is one of the best known and most popular types of vinegar, and it is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds. The quality of balsamic vinegar as well as the content of phenolic substances vary depending on the production method. In the present work, we have developed a method for comprehensive characterization of the content of phenolic compounds in balsamic vinegars based on the combination of gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometric detection in single mode (MS) and tandem mode (MS/MS). In total, 14 samples of different types of balsamic vinegar were analyzed without difficulty in sample preparation. The separation conditions and detection parameters of HPLC-MS/MS were optimized and used for the determination of 29 phenolic compounds and 6 phenolic acids. The profile of phenolic compounds was completed by semi-quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds using GC-MS after optimized headspace solid-phase microextraction. Gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid, and -coumaric acid have been identified as the major phenolic compounds in balsamic vinegars.

Chemoprevention is one of the accessible strategies for preventing, delaying or reversing cancer processing utilizing chemical intervention of carcinogenesis. NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing cytosolic enzyme/protein with important functional properties towards oxidation stress, supporting its ability in detoxification/chemoprotective role. A set of 3,5-diylidene-4-piperidones (as curcumin mimics) bearing alkyl sulfonyl group were synthesized with potential NQO1 induction properties.

This study evaluated the effects of malic acid vacuum microwave preconditioning (MVMP) on lotus root (LR) by examining its moisture content, dielectric properties, microstructure, and starch characteristics, including modifications in starch structure and composition. Dielectric properties and LF-NMR indicated that the dielectric constant (ε') was closely associated to moisture content and state, while changes in water migration depended on microwave power and the dielectric loss factor (ε″). Increased microwave power and malic acid concentration resulted in microstructural damage (indentation and breakage of starch granules) and starch hydrolysis into smaller particles.
