In this study, we performed the chemical characterization of Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC. (Myrtaceae) essential oil from Amazonian Ecuador and the assessment of its bioactivity in terms of cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity as starting point for possible applicative uses. M. splendens essential oil, obtained by hydro-distillation, was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectromet...

Acrylates have been widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical polymers. The quantitation of residual acrylate monomers is vital as they are strong irritants and allergens, but after polymerization, are relatively inert, causing no irritation and allergies. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogels were prepared using pentaerythritol tetra-acrylate (PETRA) as UV crosslinking agent. A simple, acc...

Different solvent extracts of a red algae, Hypnea flagelliformis,and two brown algae, Cystoseira myrica and Sargassum boveanum, collected from the Persian Gulf coast were subjected to different bioassays including: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, antibacterial and antifungal activity by thin layer chromatography (TLC)-bioautography, agar disc diffusion (ADD) ...

The purpose of this research work was to develop a novel, sensitive and accurate analytical method for quantification of 12 residual solvents in Dapagliflozin Amorphous by using a static headspace gas chromatography (HSGC) coupled with flame ionization detector (FID). Methanol, Ethanol, Diethyl ether, Methyl acetate, Dichloromethane, Ethyl acetate, Tetrahydrofuran, Cyclohexane, Isopropyl acetat...

A rapid simulated distillation method is described for analysis of petroleum fractions boiling within the range of ASTM D2887 [1]. The method employs an Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a split/splitless inlet, flame ionization detector (FID), oven insert, and 3-meter 180-μm id capillary column. A SIMDIS software package is partially integrated into the GC ChemStation for data...

In studying the relationship between ethylene production and the climacteric rise in respiration exhibited by ripening fruits, it was not possible to determine when ethylene production begins until the advent of gas chromatography. This technique makes available quantitative measurement of ethylene concentrations at or below the threshold of physiological activity. Burg and Thimann (3, 4) were ...

Because cholesterol and its oxide products (COPs) are used as standards during analysis, their stability and autoxidation were assessed under typical storage conditions. Individual toluene solutions of cholesterol; cholesterol5β, 6β-epoxide; cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one; and 5α-cholestane were prepared and aliquots were stored at 23 ± 2°C, 4°C, and -20°C for 7 days. Samples were removed from storage...

An authenticity study on Italian grape marc spirit was carried out by gas chromatography (GC) and chemometrics. A produced in Italy takes the particular name of “grappa”, a product which has peculiar tradition production its country origin. Therefore, evaluation plays an important role for consumption Italy, as well exportation all around world. For present work, 123 samples grappa several kind...
