The concentrations of free fumonisins (FBs) and hydrolysed fumonisins (HFBs) were determined in 72 maize samples collected in 2017 from five Argentine provinces. The methodology for HFBs analysis consisted of alkaline hydrolysis followed by high performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). The developed analytical methodology presented percentages of recovery greater than 74%. Limits of detection were 4.5, 13.0 and 12.9 μg/kg for HFB1, HFB2 and HFB3, respectively. Presence of FBs was found in 86% of the samples. In all cases, the concentration of total HFBs (after the hydrolysis treatment) was superior to the free FBs content (HFBs to FBs median ratio of 2.5), which indicates the presence of hidden fumonisins in Argentinean maize. 8% of the traditionally analysed samples exceeded the limit established by the European Commission for FB1 + FB2. When applying alkaline hydrolysis to the samples, 24% of them exceed this limit.

Abstract The paper reports on the sulfur vulcanization chemistry of cis-polyisoprene formulations accelerated with N-t-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is utilized to examine the kinetics of accelerator—sulfur disappearance and the formation—disappearance profiles of extra-network cure intermediates across the vulcanization process. Cure profile measurements are reported on three formulations covering a wide range of sulfur—accelerator ratios. Also unique aspects of the analytical methodology are highlighted. The observed cure-intermediate concentration profiles reinforce earlier theories about the chemical details of sulfurization and subsequent crosslinking. On all formulations, benzothiazole polysulfides (S1−S4) reach a maximum concentration at the scorch midpoint coincident with slope changes in reactant and product profiles. Although pendant-accelerator crosslink precursors are not measured directly, their presence is implied from material balance calculations. Also, the formation of a small amount of benzothiazole early in the scorch period is a new observation in sulfenamide acceleration. It suggests that accelerator hydrolysis is a competitive side reaction early in the vulcanization process.

The evalution of prenylflavonoids from Romanian beer was done by an analytical methodology based on sample purification by centrifugation and subsequent analysis of the beer by high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry MS/MS detection. In commercial beers less than 50 µg/l was found for XN, showing that a significant lost of this compound occurs during the brewing process. The isoxanthohumol is was found as principal prenylflavonoid in beer. The major concentration of prenylflavonoids was found in dark beer at 0.318 mg/l.

Alkenylbenzenes, including eugenol, methyleugenol, myristicin, safrole, and estragole, are potentially toxic phytochemicals, which are commonly found in foods. Occurrence data in foods depends on the quality of the analytical methodologies available. Here, we developed and compared modern reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and stacking-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) methods for the determination of the above alkenylbenzenes in food flavouring ingredients. The analytical performance of HPLC was found better than the stacking-MEKC method. Compared to other HPLC methods found in the literature, our method was faster (total run time with conditioning of 15 min) and able to separate more alkenylbenzenes. In addition, the analytical methodology combining an optimized methanol extraction and proposed HPLC was then applied to actual food flavouring ingredients. This methodology should be applicable to actual food samples, and thus will be vital to future studies in the determination of alkenylbenzenes in food.

Olives (Olea europaea L.) are classic ingredients in the Mediterranean diet with well-known health benefits, but their lipid composition has not been fully addressed. In this work, we characterised triacylglycerol (TAG) and polar lipid profiles of the olive pulp while using a complementary methodological approach that was based on solid-phase extraction to recover the neutral lipid (NL) and the polar lipid-rich fractions. The TAG profile was analysed in the NL-fraction by C30 reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) and the polar lipid profile by normal-phase hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), with both being coupled to electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and ESI-MS/MS. This approach identified 71 TAG ions that were attributed to more than 350 molecular species, with fatty acyl chain lengths from C11:0 to C26:0, including different polyunsaturated acyl chains. The polar lipids included 107 molecular species that belonged to 11 lipid classes that comprised phospholipids, glyceroglycolipids, glycosphingolipids, and betaine lipids. In addition to polyunsaturated fatty acids, some of the phospholipids, glycolipids, and glycosphingolipids that were identified in the olive pulp have been described as biologically active molecules. Lipidomic phenotyping of the olive pulp has led to the discovery of compounds that will allow for a better assessment of its nutritional value and new applications of bioactive lipid components in this functional food.

Ferns of the genus Pteridium are known to be responsible for cases of poisoning in cattle. The commonly found species of Pteridium in Brazil are P. arachnoideum and P. caudatum. The toxic principle of these ferns is ptaquiloside, a norsesquiterpene glucoside, which is a known carcinogen. Ptaquiloside can be secreted in the milk of cows grazing on bracken ferns, thereby posing a potential health risk for the milk consumers. The objective of the present study was to develop an analytical methodology using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection to determine the concentrations of ptaquiloside in cow´s milk. HPLC-UV method, based on the conversion of ptaquiloside into pterosin B and its subsequent extraction using dichloromethane, was successfully developed for estimating concentrations of ptaquiloside in milk samples. However, the presence of ptaquiloside was not detected in milk samples obtained from cows with a history of bovine enzootic hematuria resulting from grazing on P. arachnoideum infested pastures in Brazil.
