Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of gac fruit juice and its probiotic fermentation (FGJ) utilizing Lactobacillus paracasei on the modulation of the gut microbiota and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). We conducted a comparison between FGJ, non-fermented gac juice (GJ), and control samples through in vitro digestion and colonic fermentation using the human gut microbiota derived from fecal inoculum. Our findings revealed that both GJ and FGJ led to an increase in the viability of Lactobacilli, with FGJ exhibiting even higher levels compared to the control. The results from the 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing technique showed that both GJ and FGJ exerted positive impact on the gut microbiota by promoting beneficial bacteria, notably Lactobacillus mucosae and Bacteroides vulgatus. Additionally, both GJ and FGJ significantly elevated the levels of SCFAs, particularly acetic, propionic, and n-butyric acids, as well as lactic acid, in comparison to the control. Notably, FGJ exhibited a more pronounced effect on the gut microbiota compared to GJ. This was evident in its ability to enhance species richness, reduce the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio, promote Akkermansia, and inhibit pathogenic Escherichia coli. Moreover, FGJ displayed enhanced production of SCFAs, especially acetic and lactic acids, in contrast to GJ. Our findings suggest that the probiotic fermentation of gac fruit enhances its functional attributes in promoting a balanced gut microbiota. This beverage demonstrates potential as a functional food with potential advantages for sustaining intestinal health.

Gas chromatography-flame ionization detector for sweat based COVID-19 screening. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1280:341878. [PMID: 37858543 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Simple approach for rapid screening of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been developed. This applied gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analyzing the potential compound marker in sweat samples obtained from COVID-19 positive and negative volunteers in Bangkok, Thailand. The samples were collected by using cotton rods for 15 min, heated at 90 °C for 5 min, and the volatile compounds in the headspace (HS) were injected (5.00 mL) at 150 °C and separated within 13.7 min. The marker peak was tentatively identified as p-cymene by the authentic standard injection and comparison with the GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GC × GC)-MS analysis. Possible mechanisms for the presence of p-cymene were proposed. The marker peak area thresholds were then varied and optimized via construction of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. With the optimum threshold, the established method offered the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 96 %. This method was insignificantly affected (p-value >0.05) by genders, body mass indices, ages, and use of deodorants as well as the p-cymene containing food. However, the performance could be affected by the population with personal hygiene or experiencing the microbiomes producing p-cymene.

Abstract
This study developed a novel voltage step electrocoagulation (VSEC) technique on paper for analysis and classification of red wine samples. The concept relies on the electrode system applying voltage steps along a strip of filter paper soaked with a wine sample. The system employed a cathode array system (CAS) for voltage step application and an aluminium anode undergoing corrosion to form the green sludges responsible for wine color bleaching along the paper. The VSEC technique led to the shade of colors along the paper which can be observed by the naked-eye or using image processing software. The system was applied to classify 15 wine samples into different groups and to perform dilution and adulteration tests. In addition, the approach could be applied to approximate antioxidant properties of the wine samples as observed via the correlation between the results from VSEC and IC50 values obtained from the DPPH assay with an R2 of 0.76.

Abstract
Electrocoagulation (EC) approach was developed to allow fast sample cleanup step prior to selective analysis of non- and mono-hydroxylated phenolic acids in red wine samples with high performance liquid chromatography hyphenated with UV detection (HPLC-UV). EC system with the wine in KCl(aq) electrolyte (1.5 mol L−1) was employed removing the polymeric pigments with good recovery of 39 peaks from 64 peaks. The mechanisms mainly involve enrichment induced aggregation and reduction of the pigments at the cathode and the adsorption onto the EC sludge. The EC was further miniaturized employing two intercalated stainless steel spring electrodes at 9.0 V which allowed removal of >99% interference peak area from the pigments within 5 s. The recoveries of the target phenolic acids (p-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid and ferulic acid) were within the range of 86–102%. The repeated analysis of these standards revealed <2 and ≤10% RSD of the intra-day and inter-day precisions, respectively. The linearities of their calibration curves were observed with R2 > 0.99. Their method detection limits were within the range of 0.02–0.20 mg L−1. Electrocoagulation (EC) approach was developed to allow fast sample clean-up step prior to selective analysis of non- and mono-hydroxylated phenolic acids in red wine samples with high performance liquid chromatography hyphenated with UV detection (HPLC-UV).![]()

Abstract
In this study, thin-layer chromatography was applied for selective extraction of volatile compounds in perfume prior to analysis with solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The standard compounds were desorbed from the thin-layer chromatography plate and extracted at 80°C for 15 min showing good linearity of the calibration curves (R2 > 0.98) and acceptable recovery range (65-81%). The plate after the separation was cut into four smaller parts followed by solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, which revealed different compound profile in each part with the correlation between log P of the standard compounds and their positions along the thin-layer chromatography plate (R2 = 0.65). This approach was applied to analyze perfume compounds in the sample with strong matrix interference from the synthetic agarwood. Terpene hydrocarbons (woody-based odors), ketones/esters, aldehydes, ethers, and alcohols were mostly observed at 8 ± 1, 6 ± 1, 5 ± 2, 4 ± 2, and 3 ± 2 cm, respectively, from the bottom of the thin-layer chromatography plate. While, the conventional solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of this sample solution revealed only 62 compounds (including 35 perfume compounds), the four-piece approach resulted in 109 compounds (62 perfume compounds). Furthermore, the capability of thin-layer chromatography-Gas Analyzer approach to analyze the isomers in this complex sample was demonstrated.

Cryogen-free comprehensive heartcut multidimensional gas chromatography using a Deans switch for improved analysis of petrochemical products derived from palmitic acid oxidation.

Abstract
Comprehensive heartcut multidimensional gas chromatography was applied with example application for analysis of a sample obtained from palmitic acid oxidation in a Rancimat instrument. The system utilized a single Deans switch (DS) located between first dimensional semi-standard nonpolar (30 m) and second dimensional polar (60 m) columns. A cyclic multiple heartcut strategy consisting of 150 heartcuts with a 0.2 min window was applied offering comprehensive analysis and injection of a narrow band of compounds onto the second column without use of cryogenic trapping devices. Untargeted compound analysis of the sample prepared by solid phase micro-extraction was performed based on match between the experimental MS spectra and first dimensional retention indices with that from the NIST library. The sample contained the major compounds of 2-octanone, 1-methylcyclohexanol, 2,3,6-trimethylphenol, 3-phenylpropanol and 2-nonanone. This approach was then evaluated based on peak capacity and the number of identified compounds. Compared with one dimensional gas chromatography providing a total peak capacity of 172 and 43 identified compounds, the analysis performance was much more improved with a capacity of 5840 and 235 identified compounds by using comprehensive heartcut multidimensional gas chromatography with the total analysis time of 15.3 h. By comparison within the same set of identified compounds, the one dimensional and multidimensional approaches provided the MS match scores of 769 ± 81 and 836 ± 88, respectively. In addition, the nonlinear relationship between the analysis time and number of identifiable peaks was calculated according to the set of 235 compounds. This revealed that the analysis time could be shortened with the compensation of lower separation performance, where application of a 2.5 min heartcut window with the total analysis time of 1.2 h could result in the total peak capacity of 390 with 150 identifiable compounds.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis with large-volume sample stacking using an electroosmotic flow pump was developed for the determination of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. Central composite design was used to simultaneously optimize the parameters for capillary electrophoresis separation. The optimized capillary electrophoresis conditions were 200 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 200 mM butylamine, and 0.5% w/v polyethylene glycol as a background electrolyte, pH 4 and -16 kV. Exploiting large-volume sample stacking using an electroosmotic flow pump, the sensitivity of the proposed capillary electrophoresis system coupled with UV detection was significantly improved with limits of detection of 3, 5, 1 mg/L for chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid, respectively. The developed method was applied to the determination of chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid in cell culture media, cerebrospinal fluid, cosmetic products, and supplementary samples with highly acceptable accuracy and precision. Therefore, the proposed capillary electrophoresis approach was found to be simple, rapid, and reliable for the determination of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid in cell culture media, cerebrospinal fluid, cosmetic, and supplementary samples without sample pretreatment.

Abstract
Elephant dung coffee (Black Ivory Coffee) is a unique Thai coffee produced from Arabica coffee cherries consumed by Asian elephants and collected from their feces. In this work, elephant dung coffee and controls were analyzed using static headspace gas chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (SHS GC-MS), and chemometric approaches were applied for multivariate analysis and the selection of marker compounds that are characteristic of the coffee. Seventy-eight volatile compounds belonging to 13 chemical classes were tentatively identified, including six alcohols, five aldehydes, one carboxylic acid, three esters, 17 furans, one furanone, 13 ketones, two oxazoles, four phenolic compounds, 14 pyrazines, one pyridine, eight pyrroles and three sulfur-containing compounds. Moreover, four potential discriminant markers of elephant dung coffee, including 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-furfurylfuran and 3-penten-2-one were established. The proposed method may be useful for elephant dung coffee authentication and quality control.

Abstract
Hyperoxaluria and oxidative stress are risk factors in calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation. Supplement with antioxidant could be effective in prevention of recurrent stone formation. The present study aims to evaluate the
protective effects of vitamin E and vitamin C in hyperoxaluric rat. The experiment was performed in rats for 21 days. Rats were divided into 5 groups as follows: control (group 1, n=8), hyperoxaluric rats (group 2, n=8),
hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin E supplement (group 3, n=7), hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin C supplement (group 4, n=7) and hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin E and C supplement (group 5, n=7). Hyperoxaluria was induced by feeding
hydroxyl L-proline (HLP) 2% w/v dissolved in drinking water. Intraperitoneal 200 mg/kg of vitamin E was given in groups 3 and 5 on days 1, 6, 11 and 16, while 500 mg of vitamin C was injected intravenously in groups 4 and 5 on
days 1 and 11. Renal functions and oxidative status were measured. The urinary oxalate excretion was increased in HLP supplement rats, while glomerular filtration rate, proximal water and sodium reabsorption were significantly
lower in group 2 compared with a control (P<0.05). Giving antioxidants significantly lower urinary calcium oxalate crystals (P<0.05). Hyperoxaluric rats had higher plasma malondialdehyde
(PMDA) and lower urinary total antioxidant status (UTAS), which were alleviated by vitamin E and/or vitamin C supplement. In conclusion, giving combination of vitamin E and vitamin C exerts a protective role against HLP-induced
oxalate nephropathy.

Abstract
QuEChERS sample preparation was optimized and validated using solvent extraction with 10% (v/v) acetic acid-containing acetonitrile in the presence of four salts (anh. MgSO4, NaCl, sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate and sodium citrate dibasic sesquihydrate) and dispersive solid-phase extraction with mixed sorbents (octadecylsilane, primary and secondary amine and silica sorbents) for an ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric determination of nine mycotoxins in brown rice: aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2), fumonisins (FB1 and FB2), deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin A and zearalenone (ZON). Our developed method allows for the determination of trace levels of mycotoxins with method detection limits in the range of 1.4-25 µg/kg, below the maximum limits of EU regulations, and with an acceptable accuracy and precision, and recoveries in the range of 81-101% with relative standard deviations of 5-19% over a mycotoxin concentration range of 5.0-1,000 µg/kg. Six out of fourteen real samples of brown rice were found to be contaminated with at least one of these mycotoxins, ranging from 2.49-5.41 µg/kg of FB1, 4.33 ± 0.04 µg/kg of FB2 and 6.10-14.88 µg/kg of ZON.

Abstract
Microemulsion EKC (MEEKC) was developed for quantitative analysis of curcuminoids, such as curcumin (C), demethoxycurcumin (D), and bis-demethoxycurcumin (B). MEEKC separation of curcuminoids was optimized, and a change in resolution was explained using a modified equation for resolution in MEEKC without electroosmosis. The suitable MEEKC conditions for separation of curcuminoids were obtained to be the microemulsion buffer containing 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5, 1.1% v/v n-octane as oil droplets, 180 mM SDS as surfactant, 890 mM 1-butanol as cosurfactant, and 25% v/v 2-propanol as organic cosolvent; applied voltage of -15 kV; and separation temperature 25 degrees C. Achieved baseline resolution of C:D and D:B was obtained with R(s) -2.4 and analysis time within 18 min. In addition, high accuracy and precision of the method were obtained. This MEEKC method was used for quantitative determination of individual curcuminoids in medicinal turmeric capsules and powdered turmeric used as coloring additive in food, with simple sample preparation such as solvent extraction, dilution, and filtration, and without cleaning up by SPE.

Abstract
The retention factor (k) and retention index (I) of homologous series compounds such as alkylbenzenes (BZ), alkylaryl ketones, alkylbenzoates, and alkylparabens in microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) with suppressed electroosmosis were investigated in a wide range of SDS concentrations ([SDS]), temperatures, and concentrations of organic cosolvents (phi). Using BZ as standards, the retention indices of other homologous series compounds were determined and they were found to be independent of [SDS] and temperature, while are dependent on the types and concentrations of organic cosolvents. The retention factor linearly increases with increasing [SDS], while linearly decreases with increasing temperature. The value of log k linearly decreases with increasing phi for methanol, ethanol, or ACN, while decreases by a second-degree polynomial with increasing phi for 2-propanol. Excellent agreement was found between the observed and predicted values of log k of analytes in MEEKC at given [SDS] and phi, where the predicted values were obtained from modified equations of the linear relationship of log k as functions of [SDS], the number of carbons, and phi. Therefore, both k and I can be used for peak identification of homologous series compounds.

Abstract
Simple equations and theoretical models, related to enantioselectivity (kappa) and C, have been developed for prediction of electrophoretic mobility difference (Deltamu) and separation selectivity (alpha) for enantiomers in CE using dual CDs, where alpha and kappa are defined as the ratio of mu and the ratio of binding constant (K) for enantiomers to each CD, respectively, C the CD concentration, and the average K for enantiomers and each CD. Experiments were carried out using dual CDs as beta-CD and dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CD) and test analytes as five pairs of amphetamine drug enantiomers. A change in observed Deltamu and alpha of enantiomers in dual CDs was found to be in excellent agreement with the theoretical models. For example, in comparison with single CD1, dual CDs can enhance Deltamu and alpha up to the maximum value when enantiomers migrate with the same order in CD1 and CD2, and have the value of rho > 1.0, where rho is the enantioselectivity ratio for CD2 to CD1, while worse Deltamu and alpha are obtained for enantiomers with rho < 1.0.

Abstract
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was developed as a method for quantitative determination of gibberellic acid (GA3) in fermentation broth and commercial products, using 25 mM disodium tetraborate as a buffer at pH 9.2 and 100 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate as a micellar phase. The baseline resolution (Rs of GA3 from other compounds in fermentation broth was achieved with Rs > 2.5. The addition of methanol or acetonitrile in the MEKC buffer did not give a better resolution. Advantages of this MEKC method include high accuracy and precision and no sample preparation except for dilution and filtration.

Abstract
Three new halimane-type diterpenoids, crotohalimaneic acid ( 1), crotohalimoneic acid ( 2) and 12-benzoyloxycrotohalimaneic acid ( 3), were isolated from the stem bark of Croton oblongifolius Roxb. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic and X-ray analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed non-specific strong cytotoxicity against a panel of human tumor cell lines; whereas 3 was inactive.

Abstract
A new capillary electrophoretic method for trace analysis of gamma-cyclodextrin, gamma-CD, in a sample of beta-CD has been developed, building on our recent work in which the tetraphenylborate ion, Ph4B-, was found to bind to gamma-CD three orders of magnitude more strongly than to beta-CD. The method involves measurement of the change of net electrophoretic mobility of Ph4B- and its CD complexes in a background electrolyte containing a fixed concentration of beta-CD. Good linearity was found between 1/deltamu and 1/Cgamma where deltamu is the difference in the mobility of Ph4B- in the beta-CD solution at a given and at zero concentration of gamma-CD, and Cgamma the gamma-CD concentration. The limit of detection for gamma-CD in a beta-CD sample was found to be 0.020% (w/w), and high precision and accuracy were obtained.

Abstract
Binding constants for tetraphenylborate and tetraphenylphosphonium ions (Ph4B- and Ph4P+) to cyclodextrins (CDs) to give 1:1 host-guest complexes have been measured using capillary electrophoresis. Mobilities of the ions as a function of gamma-CD concentration give binding constants, K, of 1.08 x 10(5) M-1 for Ph4B- and 0.6 x 10(1) M-1 for Ph4P+. This dramatic difference of four orders of magnitude in binding constants is not seen with beta-CD (K = 7.7 x 10(1) M-1 for Ph4B- and 3.7 x 10(1) M-1 for Ph4P+) or dimethyl (DM)-beta-CD (K = 46 x 10(1) M-1 for Ph4B-1 and 7.7 x 10(1) M-1 for Ph4P+). The crystal and hydrodynamic radii of the ions, the latter calculated from their absolute mobilities, indicate that Ph4B- is smaller than the gamma-CD cavity, whereas Ph4P+ is approximately the gamma-CD cavity size. Results suggest that Ph4B- fits exactly into a gamma-CD cavity, with hydrophobic contacts involving several of the phenyl rings, whereas Ph4P+ is too large to enable these multiple contacts to be made. When only a single phenyl ring can fit into the CD cavity, binding strengths are in the order DM-beta-CD > beta-CD > gamma-CD and Ph4B- > Ph4P+. Measurement of electrophoretic mobilities of the complexes shows that their hydrodynamic radii are in the order gamma-CD < beta-CD approximately DM-beta-CD for Ph4B- and gamma-CD > beta-CD approximately DM-beta-CD for Ph4P+.
