a stability indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) method wasvalidated and used to study the degradation of cetirizine dihydrochloride in acidic and oxidativeconditions. the separation was carried out on a symmetry c18 column and a mixture of 50 mmkh2po4 and acetonitrile (60:40 v/v, ph = 3.5) was used as the mobile phase. the method waslinear over the range of 1-20 μg/ml of ce...

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 aflatoxins are a group of very toxic compounds produced by a fungal species and are found in food products. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a type found in dairy products and resistant to pasteurization. afm1 can adversely affect hepatocytes in human and leading to various liver diseases. thus, it is essential to examine raw milk for the presence of afm1. conclusions according to the results ...

dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method (dllme) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (hplc-uv) was used to determine thiamine (b1), nicotinamide (b3) and pyridoxine (b6) in sour cherry juice. this method was rapid, simple and sensitive. separation was accomplished using a c18 column. the optimum chromatographic conditions were found to be: mobile ph...

Contamination of food producing animals by veterinary drug residues, particularly quinolones, is an essential issue in food safety that causes increasing concern in consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of enrofloxacin and its main metabolite, ciprofloxacin, in chicken tissue samples slaughtered in Tabriz, Iran. Totally 250 samples including liver, muscle, gizzard, ...

Obesity and obesity co-morbidities are associated with a low grade inflammation and elevated serum levels of acute phase proteins, including serum amyloid A (SAA). In the non-acute phase in humans, adipocytes are major producers of SAA but the function of adipocyte-derived SAA is unknown. To clarify the role of adipocyte-derived SAA, a transgenic mouse model expressing human SAA1 (hSAA) in adip...

Background and Objectives: Furfural (F) and hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) are cyclic aldehydes, which are formed during the heat processing of foods. These chemical contaminants have received much attention due to their suspected health hazards and heat damage indicators. The aim of the present study was extraction and determination of F and HMF in baby-foods using dispersive liquid-liquid micro...

background & aim: according to the increase in diseases such as diabetes and obesity, using of saccharose alternatives for producing of low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives, are taken into consideration of researchers and industrialists. among them, steviosidewith the 300 times more sweetness than saccharose has special place, due to is a natural. the aim of this study is optimizing of stevi...

determination of drug residues in food is of great importance due to their toxicity. long-term exposure with low level of drug residues could be important, especially in children. based on document study, oxytetracycline (otc) is a prophylaxis and treatment agent for great number of diseases and possesses a broad spectrum activity against many pathogenic organisms and can be toxic or cause alle...

this study a novel high performance liquid chromatography for the assay of nystatin in oral and vaginal tablets were optimized and validated using box–behnken experimental design. the method was performed in the isocratic mode on a rp-18 column (30 °c) using a mobile phase consisting of 0.05 m ammonium acetate buffer/ methanol mixture (30:70) and a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. the method was valida...
