Determination Of Four Synthetic Antioxidants In Edible Vegetable Oil By Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Coupled With Quechers, Zheng Hong-Tao, Liu Zi-Xiong, Wei Rong, Xie Guo-Dan, Dong Hai, Tan Gui-Liang

Food and Machinery

To establish a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the rapid determination of four synthetic antioxidants (BHT, BHA, TBHQ, and Ionox-100) in seven kinds of edible vegetable oils by QuEChERS assisted with ultrasonic extraction and purification. After ultrasonic extraction with acetonitrile, the samples were purified by QuEChERS technology, DB-35MS capillary column (30 m × 0.250 mm × 0.25 μm) was used for separation of analytes and ion monitoring (SIM) mode was selected for determination. The analytes were quantified by external standard method. The results indicated that the linear range of synthetic antioxidants was 0.5~20.0 μg/mL, and the correlation coefficient (R …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

An innovative approach to stimulate the production of plant secondary metabolites (PSM) is the use of encapsulated bioactive agents. Zinc-alginate microparticles [microspheres (ALG/Zn) and microcapsules (CS/ALG/Zn)] were applied near the root zone of soilless cultivated strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) to ensure a constant supply of an essential micronutrient zinc ions throughout the whole period of maturation. Both, ALG/Zn and CS/ALG/Zn had a positive effect on PSM (total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, and flavan-3-ols) synthesis and increased antioxidant activity in two strawberry varieties (Albion and San Andreas). Treatments with Zn-alginate microparticles resulted in no visible damages on the plant …
