A simple quantitative method using TLC-image analysis to determine fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in food samples

نویسندگان

چکیده

The thin-layer chromatography technique (TLC) is a simple and inexpensive analysis commonly used to identify qualitatively the presence of carbohydrates in food samples such as mono- di oligosaccharides particularly. TLC assay could be improved using image processing software for semiquantitative determination this type compound. In present work, TLC-image with Silica Gel 60 plates was 6 standards (glucose, fructose, sucrose, 1-kestose, nystose, fructofuranosylnystose). Subsequently, areas spots each compound were determined by digitizing conventional office scanner. Then, segmentation images carried out processing. calibration curves plotted Excel average pigmentations obtained pixels. study, also quantitatively determine honey, garlic, onion. Values coefficient (R2) greater than 0.97 all obtained. This useful detecting (monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides) analytical assays without needing specialized equipment. it possible concentration garlic onion that showed prebiotic addition glucose, fructose. Key words:

A simple method to determine surface albedo using digital photography

Surface albedo is an important concept, useful in explaining how closed systems (such as the Earth Atmosphere) respond to incident radiant energy. Specialist, calibrated equipment is used by geo-scientists to measure ambient and reflected radiation from subject sources – this is often cost prohibitive within a teaching environment. A “semi” calibrated method is presented, utilising simple digit...

A Simple Image Analysis Method for Determination of Glucose by using Glucose Oxidase CdTe/TGA Quantum Dots

Glucose, as the major energy source in cellular metabolism, plays an important role in the natural growth of cells. Herein, a simple, rapid and low-cost method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and CdTe/thioglycolic acid (TGA) quantum dots (QDs) on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate has been described. The detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzym...

A Simple Graphical Method to Determine the Order in Catalyst

A graphical analysis to elucidate the order in catalyst is presented. This analysis uses a normalized time scale, t [cat]T (n) , to adjust entire reaction profiles constructed with concentration data. The method is fast and simple to perform because it directly uses the concentration data, therefore avoiding the data handling that is usually required to extract rates. Compared to methods that u...

Application of the Ratio Derivative Method in Quantitative Analysis of Samples Dyed with Ternary Dye Mixtures

In this study, a derivative method is applied for the determination of dye concentration in fabrics dyed with tricomponent dye mixtures. The reflectance of spectra of the samples were recorded between 400 and 700 nm. Initially, the obtained (K/S) spectra were divided by the spectrum of a standard sample dyed with two of the components in the ternary mixture and the derivative spectra were calcu...
