Uma técnica de microextração em fase líquida foi desenvolvida para a extração e determinação de quantidades traço de íons cádmio em amostras de água. A emulsificação-microextração assistida por ultrasom através da gota orgânica flutuante solidificada (USAE-SFODME) foi empregada para a extração e a espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama (FAAS) foi empregada para a determinação de Cd. Foram...

Drying is one of the widely used methods of food preservation and it is a sensitive food processing operation due to undesirable changes in the quality of dried product. In this study the effect of osmotic dyhedration and ultrasound pretreatment prior to convective drying on quality properties of apple slices was investigated. Apple slices were pretreated by osmotic dehydration in two concentra...

A new, rapid and sensitive microextraction technique named vortex-assisted liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLLME) is proposed. The complete extraction process involves two steps. First, a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) procedure was used to extract the analytes from a relatively large volume of sample (donor phase) to a small volume of organic solvent (intermedia...

in this work, a procedure for preconcentration of silver using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction with the reagent dithizone as complexing reagent was developed. at ph 2, silver ions are complexed with dithizone and extracted into the fine droplets formed when mixing carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent), ethanol (disperser solvent) and the sample solution. after extraction, the phase...

Despite of turmeric oleoresin having many advantages over ground turmeric roots, its sensitivity to light, heat and oxygen is a disadvantage. One approach to overcome this problem is microencapsulation. The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of different ratios of maltodextrin/gelatin used as wall materials, as well as the use of ultrasound during the emulsification step on...

A new, rapid and highly sensitive and rapid method was proposed for the simultaneous determination trace levels of vitamin C and folic acid in the human urine samples. The inûuence affecting factors on the UA-DLLME such as type and volume of the dispersive and extraction solvent, pH, ionic strength and temperature of sample solution, sonication condition investigated and optimized. Under the op...

a simple and green chemical procedure was reported for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones from various aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea or thiourea using  holmium chloride as catalyst. the reactions were performed under solvent free conditions with ultrasound irradiation as the energy source. the advantages of this protocol include the excellent yield, operational simplicity, short tim...

phenolic compounds, especially those of plant origin, constitute an essential part of the human diet, and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties. in this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (uae), microwave-assisted extraction (mae), as well as maceration extraction (me) methods were applied for phenolic compounds’ extraction from pistachio green hull. response surfa...

Abstract As the world population continues to grow, so does pollution of water resources. It is, therefore, important identify ways reducing as part our effort significantly increase supply clean and safer water. In this study, efficiency ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (UA-DLLME) a fast, economical, simple method for extraction malachite green (MG) rhodamine B (RB)...

in the present study, a simple, efficient and fast synthetic strategy was reported for the green biosynthesis of silver nanostructures (i.e. nanoroads and nanoparticles) by the extract of suaeda acuminata plant, without any catalyst, template or surfactant. aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration and microwave assisted extraction (mae) methods. in mae procedure, the effect of microwave pow...
