Electroanalysis and Coulometric Analysis

Several new books and journals containing material of electroanalytical and electrochemical interest have appeared. The newest edition of “Standard Methods of Chemical Analysis” (329) includes chapters discussing the fundamentals of electrogravimetric and coulometric methods. Zozulya has written a brief monograph on coulometric analysis (341) and coulometric titrations in nonaqueous solvents ha...

[Daily consumption of soft drinks, sweets and fried foods among adolescents in the northeast of Brazil].

A school-based cross-sectional study in 2007 evaluated the prevalence and associated factors of daily consumption of soft drinks, sweets and fried foods among adolescents (15 to 20 years of age) in public schools in Caruaru in the state of Pernambuco. To evaluate the factors associated with the daily consumption of the above foods, a multivariate and hierarchical analysis was conducted using Po...

Development of a Database of the Fluoride Content of Selected Drinks and Foods in the UK.

It is important to monitor systemic fluoride (F) intake from foods, drinks and inadvertent toothpaste ingestion in order to minimise the risk of dental fluorosis while maximising caries prevention. In the UK, an F database containing the F content of commercially available foods and drinks was compiled from 518 products analysed using an acid-diffusion method and F-ion-selective electrode. The ...

Electroanalysis of Plant Thiols

Due to unique physico-chemical properties of –SH moiety thiols comprise wide group of biologically important compounds. A review devoted to biological functions of glutathione and phytochelatins with literature survey of methods used to analysis of these compounds and their interactions with cadmium(II) ions and Murashige-Skoog medium is presented. For these purposes electrochemical techniques ...
