The ability of a solute (inorganic or organic) to distribute itself between an aqueous solution and an immiscible organic solvent has long been applied to separation and purification of solutes either by extraction into the organic phase, leaving undesirable substances in the aqueous phase; or by extraction of the undesirable substances into the organic phase, leaving the desirable solute in th...

Introduction According to the regulations and guidelines set by regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA),1 the European Medicines Agency (EMA),2 extractable and leachable information must be included in applications for medical devices and container closure systems packaging for human drugs and biologics. The specific applications include the New Drug Applic...

In light of their environmental and economic interests, food byproducts have been increasingly exploited and valorized for their richness in dietary fibers and antioxidants. Phenolic compounds are antioxidant bioactive molecules highly present in grape byproducts. Herein, the accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) of phenolic compounds from wet and dried grape pomace, at 45 °C, was conducted and ...

Adverse effects associated with smoking during pregnancy are well documented. Although self-report surveys on drug consumption during pregnancy have been improved with new interviewing techniques, underreporting is still a concern. Therefore, a series of biological markers and specimens to diagnose fetal exposure to tobacco have been studied. In the present study, an analytical method was devel...

Gloriosa superba is a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases. The tuber of Gloriosa superba is a rich source of colchicine which is used for the treatment of gout, cirrhosis and also used in plant breeding studies to produce polyploidy. Optimization of various extraction parameters using response surface methodology (RSM) was performed to assess maxim...

A sensitive determination method was developed for the analysis of pyrethroid pesticide residues in tomato samples using ionic liquid-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. A hydrophobic ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) and acetonitrile were used as the extraction solvent and dispersive solvent, respectively. The following experimental parameters affecting...
