Capillary Electrophoresis-Amperometric Determination of Antioxidant Propyl Gallate and Butylated Hydroxyanisole in Foods

Monoparameter sensors for the determination of the antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole and n-propyl gallate in foods and cosmetics by flow injection spectrophotometry.

A flow-through optosensor with solid phase UV spectroscopic detection is proposed for the direct determination of single antioxidants, namely butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and n-propyl gallate (n-PG), without previous derivatization. The methods are based on the transient retention behaviour of these compounds in a flow-through cell packed with C-18 silica using ethanol-water mixtures as a car...

Determination of histamine by capillary zone electrophoresis with amperometric detection.

Capillary zone electrophoresis was employed for the determination of histamine using end-column amperometric detection with a carbon fiber microelectrode, at a constant potential. The optimum conditions of separation and detection were 10 mmol/L phosphate buffer, pH 5.6 for the buffer solution, 15 kV for the separation voltage, and 1.35 V (versus SCE) for the detection potential. The linear ran...

Hydrolytic enzymes production by Aspergillus section Nigri in presence of butylated hydroxyanisole and propyl paraben on peanut meal extract agar.

BACKGROUND In the last years, food grade antioxidants are used safely as an alternative to traditional fungicides to control fungal growth in several food and agricultural products. AIMS In this work, the effect of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and propyl paraben (PP) on two hydrolytic enzyme activity (β-d-glucosidase and α-d-galactosidase) by Aspergillus section Nigri species under differen...

Application of SERS to the Determination of Butylated Hydroxyanisole in Edible and Essential Oils

Efficient Determination of Butylated Hydroxyanisole Using an Electrochemical Sensor Based on Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles Modified Electrode

A simple and reliable electrochemical sensor based on cobalt oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/CoOxNPs) for determination of butylated hydroxyanisole is presented here. The nanoparticles were fabricated by electrodepositing method. The modified electrode shows excellent catalytic activity toward butylated hydroxyanisole oxidation in pH 12.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS...
