Automated Recognition Of Ergogenic Aids Using Soft Independent Modeling Of Class Analogy (Simca), M. Praisler, J. Van Bocxlaer, A. De Leenheer, D. L. Massart Jan 2002

Automated Recognition Of Ergogenic Aids Using Soft Independent Modeling Of Class Analogy (Simca), M. Praisler, J. Van Bocxlaer, A. De Leenheer, D. L. Massart

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The introduction of effective drug testing procedures in doping control reduced, but did not eliminate, their abuse by athletes. The most important analytical challenge is the recognition of the new analog compounds. In attempts to circumvent existing controlled substance laws, slightly modified chemical structures (by adding or changing substituents at various positions on the banned molecules) are used. As a result, no substance belonging to a prohibited class may be used nowadays, even if it has not been specifically listed. We present a chemometric procedure acting as an automated GC-FTIR screening test detecting the molecular structural similarity of unknown compounds …

Derivative Spectrophotometric Determination Of Caffeine In Some Beverages, Güzi̇n Alpdoğan, Kadi̇r Karabi̇na, Sidika Sungur

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Caffeine content was determined in cola, coffee and tea by second and third order derivative spectrophotometry without using any separation or background correction technique and reagent. The method is based on the measurement of the distances between two extremum values (peak to peak amplitudes) in the second order (cola) and third order (coffee and tea) derivative spectra of the sample solution. Calibration curves were constructed for the 2.0-10.0 \mu g ml^{-1}concentration range. As a reference method, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed. Commercially available beverages were analyzed by the two methods and the results were statistically compared …


Comparison Of Supercritical Fluid And Solvent Extraction Of Feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium), Muammer Kaplan, Mark R. Simmonds, George Davidson Jan 2002

Comparison Of Supercritical Fluid And Solvent Extraction Of Feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium), Muammer Kaplan, Mark R. Simmonds, George Davidson

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) analyses are used to show that supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide is an effective means of extracting a range of components from feverfew samples. It was found that the specific compositions of solvent extracts and SFE extracts are different. The amounts of the presumed active ingredient parthenolide have been confirmed to be very variable. Feverfew seeds were particularly rich in parthenolide, while dried powdered samples contained less and, in one case, none at all. The tunability of SFE has been demonstrated, and it was shown that successive extractions …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Protonation constants of salicylideneaniline and methyl-, ethyl-, methoxy- fluoro-, chloro-, bromo- and iodo- substituted salicylideneanilines were determined by spectrophotomeric titrimetry in 10, 30, 50 and 70% ethanol-water mixtures at constant ionic strength and at 25^{o}C. The results obtained from this work were compared with those obtained using the potentimetric method. The difference between the results found with these two methods was approximately \pm $ 0.20 logK units. The spectrophotometric method was judged to be more suitable than the potentiometric method for halogen substituted salicylideneanilines with the low logK values and in the solvent mixture containing 10% ethanol, due to the …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

By using 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate (1-BPzDC) as a new reagent, a method of solid-phase extraction is described for the pre-concentration of cadmium in water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS).

Thermodynamic And Kinetic Parameters Concerning Complex Formation Between 3-Hydroxy- And 1-Aminopyrene And Pyridine, Nursel Acar, Özgül Koçak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Systems formed by the pyrene derivatives 3-hydroxypyrene and 1-aminopyrene with pyridine were studied. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the systems were calculated using the changes in the absorption and emission spectra which occur due to hydrogen bond or complex formation. The decrease of the formation rate constant in the series methylcyclohexane, benzene, and o-chlorotoluene may be due to a more difficult formation of the hydrogen bond complex due to the increase of the dielectric constant in the solvent series.


Glycine Transport Through A Charged Polysulfone Cation Exchange Membrane, Nuri̇ Ünlü, Hüseyi̇n Kara, Mustafa Ersöz Jan 2002

Glycine Transport Through A Charged Polysulfone Cation Exchange Membrane, Nuri̇ Ünlü, Hüseyi̇n Kara, Mustafa Ersöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The transport of glycine through a charged polysulfone cation exchange membrane was studied as a function of pH at different initial conditions of less than pH 5.9 and the glycine permeability was explained under the experimental conditions as pH dependent interfacial transport. The glycine permeability increases with a decreasing pH in the receiver phase. The largest permeability was obtained if the initial pH on the source side was pH 5.9 and that on the opposite side was pH 2.0. The transport phenomena can be explained by the interfacial transport based on the interfacial chemical reaction (protonation, deprotonation or ion-exchange) between …


Solvent, Temperature And Concentration Effects On The Adsorption Of Poly(N-Butyl Methacrylate) On Alumina From Solutions, Nursel Pekel, Olgun Güven Jan 2002

Solvent, Temperature And Concentration Effects On The Adsorption Of Poly(N-Butyl Methacrylate) On Alumina From Solutions, Nursel Pekel, Olgun Güven

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Adsorption of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA) on alumina from solution was studied by UV and FT-IR Photoacoustic Spectroscopy techniques. The effects of the solvent, temperature, concentration, and molecular weight of the polymer on adsorption were investigated. Three solvents, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride and benzene, were employed. The adsorption was dependent on molecular weight and much more polymer was adsorbed in cyclohexane than in other solvents on the alumina surface. A decrease in adsorption was observed with increasing temperature. The results are in conformity with Langmuir's isotherm. The differences observed in Langmuir parameters were explained by polymer-polymer, polymer-solvent, polymer-adsorbent, and solvent-adsorbent interactions.
