a rapid and reproducible method is described that employs solid phase extraction (spe) using dichloromethane, followed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry for the determination of toxic toluene, xylene and cumene (txc) from different lake water of dhaka mega city of bangladesh. the method was applied to detect and quantify txc in water samples collected from surface and 30 cm depth of water....

There are well over 500 registered pesticides worldwide for use in agricultural regions and new agrochemicals are introduced to the marketplace continuously. This chapter deals with the chemical analysis methods for the main pesticide chemical classes that are most frequently analyzed with gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). GC amenable pesti...

Fluxome analysis aims at the quantitative analysis of in vivo carbon fluxes in metabolic networks, i. e. intracellular activities of enzymes and pathways. It allows investigating the effects of genetic or environmental modifications and thus precisely provides a global perspective on the integrated genetic and metabolic regulation within the intact metabolic network. The experimental and comput...

in our study, bioactivity of essential oil extracted from ginger (zingiber officinaleroscoe.) that belongs to family zingiberaceae was analyzed. ginger rhizome oil was found to be effective against a range of bio-deteriogens. the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) value was determined by poisoned food technique and volatile activity assay. the study demonstrates that essential oil had a wid...

results glandular trichomes composed of capitates and peltate trichomes. the essential oil composition differs. viridiflora and neryl acetate were not identified in yellow glandular trichomes. conclusions it seems that there is no relation between anatomical characteristics of the plant leaves and its essential oil composition. background perovskia abrotanoides karel. is a medicinal plant used ...

The present study presents the bioactive profile of Polygala arillata Buch.-Ham ex D.Don using GC-MS. The phytochemical constituents of leaf and stem ethanolic extracts of Polygala arillata were investigated using Fisons Gas-chromatography – Mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of the compounds in the leaf and stem extracts was matched with National Institute of standards and Technology (NIST) L...
