The objective of this research was to study the biological activities of various extracts and the chemical composition of the essential oil Trigonella monantha C. A. Mey. subsp. monantha by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), from the compounds derived from the aerial parts. The overall results of T. monantha tests allow us to conclude various extracts [hex...

The results of meconium specimens and fortified samples screened for drugs of abuse by both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, Immunalysis) and biochip microarray (Randox) methods were compared. The ELISA method was semi-automated using a TECAN Genesis. The Randox assay used the Randox Evidence Investigator system. Previously validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), GC-GC-...

This study was carried out to study some quality indices (acid value, peroxide value and UV absorption K232nm, K270nm and ∆K) of virgin olive oil of three varieties (Coratina, Koronakii and Picual) at two stages of ripening. Also, organoleptic tests, phenolic content, αtocopherol and oxidative stability measured by Rancimat method at 100 ̊C were determined. Fatty acid composition and volatile co...

The disposal and dumping of toxic waste is a matter of growing concern in developing countries, including South Africa. Frequently these countries do not possess access to gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) for the determination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This publication describes an alternative approach to the investigation of toxic waste using compre...

the roots and rhizomes of tanacetum parthenium (l.) schulz. bip. (asteraceae), have been used in iranian traditional medicine under the name of aqhovan, as digestive and stomachic tonic. composition of the essential oil, which was obtained from the root of t. parthenium collected from karaj, was determined by gas chromatography, combined gc/ms and gc/ir. in total, 20 components (92% of essentia...

the volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of matricaria chamomilla l. (asteraceae) growing in botanical garden, isfahan university of medical sciences, iran, was investigated by gas chromatography (gc) and gc/ mass spectrometery (ms). sixty-three components were characterized, representing 86.21% of the total oil components detected. α-bisabolol oxide a (25.01%) and a-b...

A comprehensive inventory of the organic components and aroma-active compounds produced by Antrodia camphorata during growth in submerged culture has been established by extracting culture fluids using three different organic solvent systems and subjecting the extracts to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC-O). Forty-three organic components, of ...

The determination of γ-nonalactone as one of the important odor-active compounds in freshly cooked non-scented rice is reported. It was evaluated by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis in the headspace above the freshly cooked non-scented rice samples extracted by using a modified headspace solid-phase microextr...

a new method for analysis of benzene, toluene, and xylene (btx) using high performance liquid chromatography-uv detection (hplc-uv) is described and compared to the gas chromatography (gc) method. a charcoal adsorption tube connected to a small pump was used to obtain samples from an atmosphere chamber standard. samples were extracted with methanol and analyzed by hplc-uv. chromatography was is...
