A study has been made of methods for the removal of nitrogenous constituents from plant tissues prior to determination of their lignin contents. It was found that substitution of a continuous extraction method for the usual treatment with hot 1% hydrochloric acid had little effect on the amount of lignin isolated but apparently lowered its methoxyl content. Continuous extraction thus appears to cause some demethoxylation of lignin. Treatment with cold 5% acetic acid apparently can be substituted for the hot 1% hydrochloric acid extraction with very young but not with older, undried tissue. Ether saturated water was found to be the most satisfactory nonacid extractant for removal of nitrogen-containing material from young undried tissues. Upwards of 90% of the original nitrogen can be removed from such material by three extractions with this solvent. With older tissues or with material that has been dried, this proportion of the nitrogen cannot be removed except by extraction with hot dilute mineral acid.

The high content of glucosinolates and glutathione makes the Brassicaceae an important healthy food. Thiols and especially glutathione and γ-Glu-Cys-Gly tripeptide are involved in many fundamental cellular functions such as oxidative stress protection. Although several methods for sulphur compounds analysis in biological samples are actually used, the determination of glutathione and other sulphur derivatives in plant tissues is rather problematic due to their extreme susceptibility to oxidation, which can lead to their overestimation. The aim of this work was the improvement and validation of an automated method for determination of reduced and oxidised glutathione, cysteine and γ-glutamylcysteine in plant tissues. The method consists of a fully automated pre-column derivatization of thiols based on monobromobimane reagent, a high-performance liquid chromatography derivatives separation, and a fluorimetric detection and quantification. The method was successfully applied for determination of the oxidized and reduced forms of Cys, γ-GC and GSH content in leaves, petioles, inflorescences and roots of Brassica rapa L. subsp. Sylvestris. At harvest, in freshly cut plants, the average contents of GSH/2GSSG were 840/45, 345/70 and 150/70 nmol g−1 FW for the florets, leaf blades and stems, respectively; those of Cys/2Cys were 80/12, 29/12 and 24/6 nmol g-1 FW; while those of γ-GC/γ-GCCG-γ were 8.0/4.0, and 6.0/3.0, 3.0/2.0 nmol g−1 FW, respectively. Such amounts were lower in low-sulphur-grown plants at harvest. The very low coefficient of variation between repeated tests (maximum 1.6%), the high recovery of internal standard (>96%) and the linear correlation coefficient of the calibration (R2 > 0.99) support the efficiency of this method that allowed analysing about 50 samples/die in a totally automated manner with no operator intervention. Our results show that the reported method integrations can significantly improve thiols detection via HPLC.

The aim of this work was to correlate macronutrient content of soybean seeds to physiological quality of different cultivars. The work was developed in the Federal University of Pelotas, in the facilities of the Seed Science and Technology Graduate Program. The experimental design was randomized blocks in arranged in four replicates. The following soybean cultivars were used: BMX Apolo RR (12 lots), BMX Ativa RR (13 lots), BMX Energia RR (26 lots), BMX Força RR (24 lots), BMX Impacto RR (35 lots), BMX Magna RR (16 lots), BMX Turbo RR (44 lots), BMX Potência RR (82 lots) and NA 5909 RR (28 lots), with seeds produced in northwest Rio Grande do Sul. The determination of nutritional contents found in plant tissues of soybean seeds, were measured: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Sulfur (S). The macronutrient contents of the seeds vary according to genetic characteristics of the cultivars, with higher oscillations of nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium and sulfur contents present in soybean seeds. Potassium and calcium are defined as the most stable nutrients for the cultivars and seed lots analyzed. High concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium are determinants for the physiological quality of soybean seeds.

Abstract A method Is described for analysis of minced fish-meat and surlmi-meat frankfurters for dimethylamine (DMA), trimethyiamine (TMA), and trimethyiamine oxide (TMAO) using a headspace-gas chromatographic technique. After simple acid extraction and addition of NaOH, the headspace was directly Injected Into a gas chromatograph by a gas-tight syringe. DMA and TMA were separated on a Chromosorb 103 column and detected by a flame Ionization detector. TMAO was measured as TMA after Zn reduction. Repeatability of the method for DMA, TMA, and TMAO was 6.6,1.0, and 18.8 ppm, respectively. The method was applicable to Alaska pollock-meat and Atlantic menhaden-meat frankfurters, unwashed, and washed mince and surlml.
