proteins are fundamental components of cells which mediate many essential biological processes. proteomics is a rapidly growing field for the study of proteome, the protein complement expressed by the genome of an organism or cell type. the large-scale analysis of proteins leads to a more comprehensive view of molecular and cellular pathways that improves the overall understanding of the comple...

The analysis of nine explosive compounds by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) using negative chemical ionization (NCI) was performed under two different conditions: first, a conventional GC separation coupled with a standard ion dissociation method in a quadrupole ion trap (QIT) was performed in segmented selected reaction monitoring mode; second, a fast GC separation on a ...

The detailed characterisation of middle distillates is essential for a better understanding of reactions involved in refining process. Owing to higher resolution power and enhanced sensitivity, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) is a powerful tool for improving characterisation of petroleum samples. The aim of this paper is to compare GC x GC and various ASTM methods -- ...

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Aaronsohnia pubescens subsp. pubescens plant (APS oil) was extracted by hydrodistillation, and then its composition was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). We identified thirty-four constituents presenting 87% of the total amount, Which, Carvacrol (13.9%), α-Pinene (10.3 %), E-Anethole (10.1%) and Ar-Turmerone (9.3%) w...

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with negative ion chemical ionization permits detection of underivatized patulin in apple juice extracts while minimizing co-extractive responses. The technique has been used with a variety of capillary columns in quadrupole, ion trap, and magnetic sector GC/MS instruments to confirm presumptive findings of patulin in apple juice at concentrations ra...

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) was introduced about a decade ago and is, today, rapidly become a powerful and widely applicable technique for the characterisation and analysis of a variety of complex samples. GC x GC provides structurally ordered chromatograms in the 2D plane, and features an impressive peak capacity. Combining GC x GC and time-of-flight mass spectro...

This overview evaluates the capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for the determination of a multitude of pesticides. The selection of pesticides for this assessment is based on the status of production, the existence of regulations on maximum residue levels in food, and the frequency of residue detection. GC-MS with el...

Human odor detection technologies have drawn attention due to the wide possibility of potential applications they open up in areas such as biometrics, criminal investigation and forensics, search for survivors under rubble, and security checkpoint screening. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been the most successful and powerful analytical approach developed to date for human odo...

The present study presents the bioactive profile of Polygala arillata Buch.-Ham ex D.Don using GC-MS. The phytochemical constituents of leaf and stem ethanolic extracts of Polygala arillata were investigated using Fisons Gas-chromatography – Mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of the compounds in the leaf and stem extracts was matched with National Institute of standards and Technology (NIST) L...

In this study, star anise (Illicium verum) essential oils (SAEOs) were extracted by hydrodistillation (HD), ethanol solvent extraction (ESE), supercritical CO2 (SCD) and subcritical (SE) via electronic nose (E-nose), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), GC-ion mobility (GC-IMS). GC-MS GC-IMS used to identify the volatile compounds, was also determine their concentrations. Principal com...
