background aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic substances that occur naturally. nowadays extensive attention has been taken to their existence in food and environment, as there is the possibility of harm to humans following chronic exposure to extremely low levels via food chain. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a hepatic carcinogenic metabolite found in the milk of lactating animals fed with con...

In the present study, various mixtures of aqueous ethanol and acetone solutions were utilized to extract anthocyanins from eggplant peel by a discontinuous process to obtain a natural red-purple colorant. First, the most appropriate combination for extraction solvent was selected as ethanol 70 wt in water acidified with acetic acid 3 wt, which was determined by analysis of extraction yields and...

Determination of sildenafil by various methods and in various media is reviewed in this paper. The methods used consist of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods were used to determine the amount of sildenafil in pharmaceutical preparations, soft drinks, and biological liquids. HPLC was used for evaluation...

separation of ten sedative- hypnotic drugs was performed by rp-hplc using mixed micellar mobile phase. effect of temperature, type and amount of organic modifier in mobile phase on efficiency (n) and asymmetry factor (b/a) showed that, the appropriate conditions for a good separation were 35°c and 7% (v/v) butanol in mobile phase.  variations of selectivity factor versus butanol concentration, ...

conclusions this method could be feasibly used for purification of large quantities of allicin from garlic extract. results semi-preparative hplc yielded a distinct peak with a retention time of 12.28 minutes. the purity (≥ 95%) and biological activity (p > 0.05) of purified allicin were comparable to the standard allicin. purified allicin produced same peak areas compared to the standard allic...

in the present study, a comprehensive and systematic strategy was described to evaluate the performance of several three-way calibration methods on a bio-analytical problem. parallel factor analysis (parafac), alternating trilinear decomposition (atld), self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (swatld), alternating penalty trilinear decomposition (aptld) and unfolded partial least squa...

background: cattle can be considered as an important source for herbicides through nutrition. therefore, herbicide residue in animal products is a potential human exposure to herbicides causing public health problems in human life. triazines are a group of herbicides primarily used to control broadleaf weeds in corn and other feed ingredients and are considered as possible human carcinogens. to...

background diazinon is one of the most widely used organophosphrous pesticides in the world may affect animals and human. objectives this study was done to assess whether pseudomonas plecoglossicida can grow on diazinon as the sole carbon metabolic source in laboratory and agricultural soil. materials and methods serial dilutions of pure and commercial diazinon in minimal salt medium were made ...
