Citrus fruits Cold Press Essential Oils (CPEOs) constitute a low-cost by-product produced during the juice making process that are composed by a volatile and a non-volatile fraction. Their non-volatile fractions are rich in valuable secondary metabolites, such as carotenoids, coumarins, psoralens and flavonoids [1,2]. Study herein concerns the development of a quantitative method for their carotenoids analyses using the LC-MS/MS and LC-DAD methodology.•CPEOs carotenoids content was characterized quantitatively.•Natural carotenoids β-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin were determined as the most abundant high added value molecules.

August 2024

Forensic Science Division, Government Laboratory, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China.

Background: With the decline of the use of ketamine, one of the common drugs of abuse in Hong Kong, detection of ketamine-related analogues in local laboratories has been encountered.

Aim: A brief account of the occurrence of fluorodeschloroketamine (FDCK) in forensic cases is reported through a retrospective study of all drug seizures and driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) cases since its first appearance.

Methods: Identification of FDCK in drug seizures was achieved through gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and/or liquid chromatography - diode array detection (LC-DAD) methods while its quantification was performed using gas chromatography - flame ionization detection (GC-FID).
