The main objective of this study was to improve the performance of analytical methods for the determination of sugars in fermented alcoholic beverages based on mid-infrared-partial least squares (MIR-PLS), high-performance liquid chromatography with the ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV), high-performance liquid chromatography with the refractive index detector (HPLC-RI), and sulfuric acid methods. The MIR-PLS method was found to give good prediction of individual sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose in the alcoholic beverages with less than 4% error. The HPLC-UV method can be used for the determination of glucose in alcoholic beverages after derivatization withp-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester. The HPLC-RI method was found to be applicable for the determination of individual sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose in the alcoholic beverages. The limit of detection (%, w/w) and recovery (%) of the individual sugars by the HPLC-RI method were fructose 0.001, 89.4–106; glucose 0.002, 92.4–109; and sucrose 0.002, 94.2–95.1. The sulfuric acid method was found to be useful for the determination of total sugar in the alcoholic beverages. The limit of detection (%, w/w) and recovery (%) of the total sugar by the sulfuric acid method were found to be 0.009, 98.2–109. The HPLC-RI method was applied to determine the level of individual sugars, while the sulfuric acid method was used to determine total sugar in Ethiopian traditional fermented alcoholic beverages:Tella,Netch Tella,Filter Tella,Borde,Tej,Korefe,Keribo, andBirz. The sugar contents in the real samples were found in the ranges (%): glucose 0.07–5.60, fructose 0.09–8.50, sucrose and maltose 0.08–3.00, and total sugar 12.0–64.5. The levels of sugars in Ethiopian traditional fermented alcoholic beverages were found to be comparable with literature data.

AbstractTh accurate rapid, simple and selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been established and validated for the determination of captopril (CAP). Chromatographic separation was accomplished using prepacked ODSI C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm with 5 μm particle size) in isocratic mode, with mobile phase consisting of water: acetonitrile (60:40 v/v), pH adjusted to 2.5 by using 85% orthophosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV detection was performed at 203 nm. RP-HPLC method used for the analysis of CAP in mobile phase and rabbit plasma was established and validated as per ICH-guidelines. It was carried out on a well-defined chromatographic peak of CAP was established with a retention time of 4.9 min and tailing factor of 1.871. The liquid–liquid extraction method was used for extraction of CAP from the plasma. Excellent linearity (R2 = 0.999) was shown over range 3.125–100 µg/mL with mean percentage recoveries ranges from 97 to 100.6%. Parameters of precision and accuracy of the developed method meet the established criteria. Intra and inter-day precision (% relative standard deviation) study was also performed which was less than 2% which indicate good reproducibility of the method. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification for the CAP in plasma were 3.10 and 9.13 ng/mL respectively. The method was suitably validated and successfully applied to the determination of CAP in rabbit plasma samples.

A reversed high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the quantitative determination of mimosine and 2,3-DHP in leaves ofLeucaena Leucocephala. Mimosine and 2,3DHP were extracted using 0.1N HCl.The chromatograph conditions were investigated and optimized. The optimal HPLC conditions as follows: Agilent HC-C18 column (4.6×150mm,5μm) was used at 30°C. The method used a variable wavelength UV detector at 280nm, the mobile phase consisted of 0.2 % (w/v) orthophosphoric acid and methanol, the gradient elution was adopted. The injection volume was 10μL. The linearity is favorable in the range of 1.0 to 50μg mL-1with a correlation coefficient of 0.99998 for mimosine and 0.99902 for 2,3DHP. Under the optimal conditions, the method limit of detection (LOD) of mimosine and 2,3DHP were 0.40mg/kg and 0.55mg/kg respectively. The recovery of mimosine was 87.00-94.70% with the RSD (n=5) of 2.75-3.81% in the spiked levels 0,1, 5, 20mg/g. At the same time, the recovery of 2,3DHP was 88-95.4% with the RSD (n=5) of 2.24-4.90%. The method was found to be simple, sensitive, fast and accurate, and has been applied successfully for the quantitative detection of mimosine and 2,3-DHP in leaves ofLeucaena Leucocephala, plasma and excretion of ruminant.

A new high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of nine major compounds, namely chlorogenic acid (1), caffeic acid (2), sweroside (3), loganin (4), secoxyloganin (5), 3,5-di- O-caffeoyl quinic acid (6), luteolin-7- O-glucoside (7), rutin (8) and 3,4-di- O-caffeoyl quinic acid (9), in Caulis Lonicerae Japonicae (CLJ), a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herb. The separation was achieved on a C-18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm) with a column temperature of 30°C and a flow-rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase was composed of (A) aqueous formic acid (0.1%, v/v) and (B) methanol, using a gradient elution of 30% B for 0-13 min, 30–40% B for 13–17 min, and 40–49% B for 17–30 min. The limit of detection ( S/ N = 3) ranged from 0.8 to 5.1 ng/mL and the limit of quantification ( S/ N = 10) varied from 3.4 to 16.9 ng/mL. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ( r2 > 0.9976) within the test ranges. The intra- and inter-day precisions, as determined from sample solutions, were below 2.2 and 4.3%, respectively. The recoveries for nine compounds were within 91.3 and 104.2%. This proposed method has been successfully applied to evaluation of commercial samples of CLJ from different markets in China, which provides a new basis of assessment of the quality of the herbal drug.

Fluoroquinolones are considered as gold standard for the prevention of bacterial infections. To improve assessment of antibacterial efficacy, a novel method for determination of levofloxacin was developed and validated. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as only green solvent were used as a porogen for preparation of water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with a pseudotemplate. The DESs-MIPs were characterized in detail, including scanning electron microscope, nitrogen sorption porosimetry, and Fourier transform-infrared spectra. Clearly, the maximum binding capacity of levofloxacin on DESs-MIPs in water and methanol was 0.216 and 0.077 μmol g−1, respectively. The DESs-MIPs as adsorbing materials were applied in microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS), and the DESs-MIPs-MEPS conditions were optimized. The DESs-MIPs-MEPS coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was used to determine levofloxacin in human plasma. The method was found linear over 0.05–10 μg mL−1 with coefficient of correlation equal to 0.9988. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.012 and 0.04 μg mL−1, respectively. At three spiked levels, the precision of proposed method was between 95.3% and 99.7% with intraday and interday relative standard deviations ≤8.9%. Finally, the developed method was used to examine levofloxacin from human plasma of 20 hospitalized patients after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, and the average concentration (±SD) of levofloxacin was 2.35 ± 0.99 μg mL−1 in plasma.

Abstract A sensitive, reliable, and economical method for the determination of 6 mycotoxins in mixed feeds is described. The feed is extracted with chloroform-water and the extract is cleaned up by using a disposable Sep-Pak silica cartridge. The procedure requires less time (15 min from sample extraction to extract preparation) and less solvent (approximately one-tenth) compared with conventional methods and is suitable for a fast, economical screen. Additional cleanup procedures, involving dialysis or extraction into base, are described for samples containing high levels of interfering compounds. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection are described for identification and estimation of mycotoxins. The method has been applied to a wide range of mixed feeds, including laboratory animal diets, and raw materials. The limit of detection is 1 μg/kg for all mycotoxins measured by HPLC.
