Abstract This study introduces a reliable method to detect adulteration of spirit drinks. Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence in combination with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to determine the content of water and ethanol in adulterated fruit spirit samples. EEM fluorescence spectra recorded in the emission wavelength range of 315–450 nm and in the excitation wavelength range of 240–305 nm were used for PARAFAC. The model created using PARAFAC-PLS was able to predict the water and ethanol level in adulterated apple spirit with the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) values of 1.9 % and 1.8 %, respectively. Regarding adulterated plum spirit, the RMSEP values of 0.7 % and 3.5 % were obtained for water and ethanol, respectively. The aim of this work was to determine whether EEM-PARAFAC can be used to distinguish between plum and apple spirit. Better results were obtained for apple spirit and the method is useful also for water-apple spirit blends.

Gentamicin is a kind of aminoglycoside antibiotics and widely used in the prevention and treatment of the duck diseases. A prediction model was established for the rapid detection of Gentamicin residue in duck meat using fluorescence analysis method according to the strong fluorescent characteristic of the generated derivative for Gentamicin and o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) in the presence of emulsifier OP-10 and mercaptoethanol.The fluorescence spectra of the duck meat containing Gentamicin were analyzed, the optimum excitation wavelength of the material was 340 nm and the optimum emission wavelength was 442 nm. Fluorescence intensity and the concentration of the standard samples presented the good linear relationship, the linear correlation coefficient was 0.9963 and the limit of detection was 0.47 μg/mL in the dynamic rang of 0.5 ~6.5μg/mL. The correlation coefficient of regression equation was 0.9968 for the samples of duck meat extract. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence analysis method had a good performance and accuracy in detecting the Gentamicin residue in duck meat.

A hybrid membrane bioreactor (HMBR) with biological band carriers (Reactor A) and an HMBR with suspended honeycomb carriers (Reactor B) were conducted in parallel to investigate the effects of different carriers on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Composition and concentration of EPS were examined by three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3DEEM) fluorescence spectra and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). 3DEEM spectra demonstrated that the main organic substances of the EPS in two reactors were protein-like, humic acid-like and fulvic acid-like substances. The fluorescence intensity (FI) indicated that the protein-like composition was dominant in EPS, and its intensity in reactor B was stronger than that in A (392.94 > 250.25). Results of the FI identified from the 3DEEM by PARAFAC showed that the EPS in two reactors included two humic acid-like compositions C1 (230, 320/406 nm), C2 (250, 360/440 nm) and one protein-like C4 (230, 280/340 nm), while C3 was fulvic acid-like (220/429 nm) and protein-like (230/357 nm) in reactor A and B, respectively. The proportion and FI of protein-like substances in reactor B were higher than that in A. Consequently, it was concluded that reactor A could control the membrane fouling effectively, compared with reactor B.

AbstractDicoumarol is a mycotoxin, that acts as a blood anticoagulant, is formed during the microbial action of molds and fungi in spoiled hay or silage containing high-coumarin plant. A HPLC-DAD method for determination of coumarins, including dicoumarol, coumarin, and 4-hydroxycoumarin was developed. Methanol and acetic acid were used as mobile phase with gradient elution. The simultaneous separation was performed using C18 type of stationary phase. The recoveries were 88.6 – 92.6 %, 91.8 – 95.0 %, and 89.7 – 94.1 % (evaluated for three concentration levels) for dicoumarol, coumarin, and 4-hydroxycoumarin respectively. The parameters of system suitability (repeatability of retention times and peak areas) were determined for evaluation of the method. The method showed a good linearity in the concentration range 0.7 – 100 μg.mL−1for dicoumarol, 0.05 – 100 μg.mL−1for coumarin and 4-hydroxycoumarin with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9885. Extracts of sweet clover herb, hay, and spoiled hay were subjected to HPLC-DAD analysis. The most abundant compound in sweet clover herb and hay extracts was coumarin. In spoiled sweet clover hay extract the 4-hydroxycoumarin was detected in addition. The formation of 4-hydroxycoumarin was also observed in the synchronous fluorescence spectra recorded at the wavelength difference of 90 nm (difference between emission and excitation wavelength).
