Abstract Fallopia multiflora is used for treatment of premature graying hair and blood deficiency. In this study, a quantitative method was developed for determination of five bioactive components (emodin, 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxy-stilbene- 2-Ο-β-d-glucoside, emodin-8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, ω-hydroxyemodin and kaempferol) in raw and processed F. multiflora by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based method. The sample handling procedure was optimized. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Thermo Syncronis AQ-C18 UHPLC column with mobile phase consisting of 0.01% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile. The method was interrogated in terms of linearity, precision, stability and recovery tests. All calibration curves displayed good linearity (R2 > 0.9992). The limit of detection and limit of quantification of these components ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 μg/mL and from 0.03 to 0.07 μg/mL, respectively. The average recoveries of these components were from 98.2 to 102.9% with relative standard deviation values from 0.8 to 2.9% for F. multiflora. The developed method can be applied to quality control of raw and processed F. multiflora.

A simple and high sensitive preconcentration method based on micelle-mediated extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography (LC-UV) was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous samples. The BPA was quantitatively extracted from aqueous samples in the presence of Triton X-114 as a nonionic surfactant and preconcentrated into the small volume (about 30 μL) of the surfactant-rich phase. Taguchi method, an orthogonal array design (OA16 (45)), was utilized to optimize the various factors affecting the micellar extraction of BPA. The maximum extraction efficiency of BPA was obtained at pH 3, 0.2% (w/v) Triton X-114, and 0.25 mol L−1 sodium acetate. For the preconcentration, the solutions were incubated in a thermostatic water bath at 50°C for 7 min. After centrifuge and separation of aqueous phase, the surfactant-rich phase was diluted with 100 μL acetone and injected in the chromatographic system. Under the optimum conditions, preconcentration factor of 34.9 was achieved for extraction from 10 mL of sample solution and the relative standard deviation (RSD%) of the method was lower than 6.6%. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.5–150 μg L−1 with reasonable linearity (r2>0.9987). The limit of detection (LOD) based on S/N = 3 was 0.13 μg L−1 for 10 mL sample volumes. The limit of quantification (LOQ) based on S/N = 10 was 0.43 μg L−1 for 10 mL sample volumes. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the extraction and determination of BPA in the real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.

The present study describes using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology for determination of patulin (PAT) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in beverages by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to photodiode array (UPLC-PDA). PAT (4-hydroxy-4H-furo[3,2-c]pyran-2(6H)-one) is a mycotoxin produced by Penicillium fungi and Penicillium expansum is probably the most commonly encountered species that infects apples during their growth, harvest, storage or processing. The occurrence of PAT as a natural contaminant of apples is a worldwide problem. 5-HMF (also known as 5-(hydroxymethyl) furan-2-carbaldehyde), is formed in the Maillard reaction as well as during caramelisation. It is a good storage time-temperature marker and flavour indicator, especially in beverages such as wine, beer, but also cider and apple juice which may contain PAT. PAT and 5-HMF were separated within 2 min using a Luna Omega C18 column and the PDA detector wavelength was set to 276 nm. The validation parameters of the analytical method such as linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy and precision were tested. The calibration curves were linear at least in the range 50-1000 ng/ml with a good linearity (R2>0.999) for both analytes, the limit of detection and the limit of quantification for PAT and 5-HMF were in the range 4.9-6.6 and 16.1-21.8 μg/l, respectively. The recoveries of the selected analyte were in the range 61.9-109.0% with a precision of <8.2% (relative standard deviation (RSD)) for PAT and in the range 50.8-98.0% with a precision of <10.0% (RSD) for 5-HMF. The validated procedure was successfully applied for the analysis of PAT and 5-HMF in beverages from retail shops.

A simple and reliable analytical method for the simultaneous determination of alternariol (AOH), altenuene (ALT), tentoxin (TEN), altenusin (ALS), tenuazonic acid (TeA), and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) in grapes was developed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). A modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) procedure with the extraction by acetonitrile and purification by sodium chloride (0.5 g) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (0.5 g) was established to recover the six Alternaria toxins. After validation by determining the linearity (R2 > 0.99), recovery (77.8–101.6%), sensitivity (limit of detection in the range of 0.03–0.21 μg kg−1, and limit of quantification in the range of 0.09–0.48 μg kg−1), and precision (relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 12.9%), the analytical method was successfully applied to reveal the contamination state of Alternaria toxins in grapes. Among 56 grape samples, 40 (incidence of 71.4%) were contaminated with Alternaria toxins. TEN was the most frequently found mycotoxin (37.5%), with a concentration range of 0.10–1.64 μg kg−1, followed by TeA (28.6%) and AOH (26.8%). ALT (10.7%), AME (3.6%), and ALS (5.4%) were also detected in some samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about the Alternaria toxins contamination in grapes in China.

A new analytical method based on vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction with back extraction (VALLME-BE) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography was developed for the simultaneous determination of antidiabetic drugs; repaglinide, glibenclamide, and glimepiride in water samples. Chromatographic separation was achieved using C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm × 5 µm) and methanol-phosphate buffer (pH3.7) in the ratio of 70:30 v/v as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mLmin-1. VALLME-BE was performed using 200 μL of n-octane dispersed into the aqueous sample (10 mL) with the aid of vortexing agitation. Then, the analytes were back-extracted from the organic solvent to 0.05 M NaOH (40 µL). Under these conditions, enrichment factor of 155-fold was achieved. The developed VALLME-BE method showed excellent linearity in the range of 30 to 1000 µgL-1 with limit of detection (LOD) of 0.41-1.66 µgL-1 and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.38-5.54. 41-1.66 µgL-1. VALLME-BE was applied for the determination of repaglinide, glibenclamide and glimepiride in water samples with the recoveries ranged from 83-109%. The relative standard deviation for inter-day and intra-day precision was less than 9.9%.

Background: Sample preparation is one of the most challenging phases in pharmaceutical analysis, especially in biological matrices, affecting the whole analytical methodology. Objective: In this study, a new Ca(II)/Cu(II)/alginate/CuO nanoparticles hydrogel fiber (CCACHF) was synthesized through a simple, green procedure and applied for fiber micro solid phase extraction (FMSPE) of diazepam (DIZ) and oxazepam (OXZ) as model drugs prior to high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detection (HPLC-UV). Methods: Composition and morphology of the prepared fiber were characterized and the effect of main parameters on the fiber fabrication and extraction efficiency have been studied and optimized. Results: In optimal conditions, calibration curves were linear ranging between 0.1–500 µg L−1 with regression coefficients of 0.9938 and 0.9968. Limit of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (S/N=10) of the technique for DIZ and OXZ were 0.03 to 0.1 µg L−1. Within-day and between-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) for DIZ and OXZ were 6.0–12.5% and 3.3–9.4%, respectively. Conclusion: The fabricated adsorbent has been substantially employed to extraction of selected benzo-diazepines (BZDs) from human serum real specimens and the obtained recoveries were also satisfactory (82.1-109.7%).
