Partially coalified, structurally intact latex fibers found in a low rank coal were characterized by analytical methods. The latex fibers have a high sulfur content of approximately 10 percent. It has been proposed in previous studies, and it appears to be the case here, that the latex material has been “naturally” vulcanized during the early diagenetic period. Two fossilized latex samples reco...

water contamination due to the wide variety of pesticides used in agriculture is a global environmental pollution problem. in order to reach at sub-î¼gl-1 levels of detection, an efficient extraction technique is required. a simple, fast and economical method, dispersive liquid-liquid micro extraction (dllme), followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was assessed for determining endosul...

Terminalia catappa and subspathulata are two species of the Combretaceae family medium to large forest trees. The fruits T. known for edible nuts commonly as tropical almonds due their similarity in taste with commerce. Therefore, chemical profiles were examined ascertain potential value food or health uses. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-el...

The conversion of deuterium-labeled ceramide to cerebroside has been studied. A mixture of N-(2’+hydroxy [4’,4’,5’,5’-2H4]hexadecanoyl) D-eryfhYO-1,3-dihydroxy-2amino-4-frans-[4,5-*H2]octadecene and N-(2’-D-hydroxy hexadecanoyl) D-eryfhro-l,3-dihydroxy-2-amino-4-frans-[33Hl]octadecene was incubated with mouse brain microsomes and a UDP-galactose regenerating system. Both galactosyl ceramide and...

Tripterygium wilfordii (Hook. f.) is a woody vine of the Celastraceae family, and native to China (south of the Yangtze River), Korea, and Japan, is used in the clinic for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we developed a urine metabolomic method by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS) to evaluate the effect of Tripteryg...

During barrel maturation, the volatile compounds extracted from oak wood can contribute to a wine’s overall aroma and flavour, enhancing its character and complexity. However, barrels have a finite pool of extractable material and the amounts of oak derived volatile compounds available for extraction diminish over time. As a consequence, barrels are typically decommissioned after five to six ye...

The present study was aimed at analysis of bioactive constituents of leaves from Abutilon indicum. The ethyl acetate extract of the leaves were subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gas chromatographymass spectroscopic (GCMS) analysis. GC-MS analysis of plant extract was performed using a Perkin-Elmer GC Clarus 500 system and Interpretation on mass spectrum GC-MS was ...

This work describes a pilot study for the investigation of the chemical composition of organic species present in PM10 collected at a residential site in New Delhi during December 2001–March 2002, and in TSP emissions from in-use twostroke vehicles. Both ambient and emissions samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), with an emphasis on quantification of non-volat...
