Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is gaining importance as a new process for the governance of seas and oceans, maritime nations exercise greater management over their territorial waters and, in many cases, exclusive economic zones that span larger area. The purpose this planning to reverse environmental degradation facilitate sustainable use marine resources, both mature uses such fishing naviga...

Abstract This study provides an efficient alternative by extracting bioactive compounds from Haematococcus pluvialis via matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) its wet form, reducing one of the process steps with greatest economic impact, drying microalga. To obtain a suitable extract for nutraceutical purposes, solvents generally recognised as safe (GRAS) designation (ethanol, ethyl lactate, and...

The accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDTs, chlordanes, BHCs, dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide and other organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) was measured in the tissues of different edible fishes collected along the Virginia Coast by employing the methods: MSPD (Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion) and GC-ECD (Gas Chromatography with Electron Capture Detector). BHC4s were the most predomi...

This application note describes the use of liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/ITMS) and liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/TOFMS) for the identification and quantitation of terbuthylazine in olive oil samples. The method includes a sample treatment step based on a preliminary liquidliquid extraction, followed by matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) usin...

A new, rapid and sensitive multiresidue method is reported for the simultaneous determination of tropane alkaloids (tropine, atropine, scopolamine, homatropine, anisodamine) and glycoalkaloids (α-solanine, α-chaconine) in grains and seeds (wheat, rye, maize, soybean, linseed). Dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) was performed with 0.5% formic acid in acetonitrile/water and a mixture of mag...

A novel analytical approach has been developed and evaluated for the quantitative analysis of a selected group of widely used pesticides (dimethoate, simazine, atrazine, diuron, terbuthylazine, methyl-parathion, methyl-pirimiphos, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, endosulfan sulphate, cypermethrin and deltamethrin), which can be found at trace levels in olive oil and olives. The proposed methodology...

A simple and effective multiresidue method based on precipitation at low temperature followed by matrix solid-phase dispersion-sonication was developed and validated to determine dimethoate, malathion, carbaryl, simazine, terbuthylazine, atrazine and diuron in palm oil using liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS). Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) followed by low temper...
