Mineral oils, classified into two main fractions, namely saturated (MOSH) and aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH), originate from petroleum. Their determination in food is challenging due to the difficulty of isolating them matrix presence natural interferences, leading low reproducibility results among different laboratories. Therefore, standardized procedures are highly required minimize uncertainty...

The paper presents the results of investigations on new procedures of determination of selected cleaning additives in diesel fuel. Two procedures: one-step analysis using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) or mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a two-step procedure in which normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) was used for preliminary separation of th...

The essential oil in leaves of Polygonum minus Huds., a local aromatic plant, were identified by a pipeline of gas chromatography (GC) techniques coupled with mass-spectrometry (MS), flame ionization detector (FID) and two dimensional gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (GC x GC-TOF MS). A total of 48 compounds with a good match and high probability values were identified using ...

This paper describes four recent applications of analytical pyrolysis in environmental science and engineering. In all applications, samples were analyzed in order to provide information about the origin of organic matter or changes to an organic matrix. In the first application, pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and pyrolysis-GC/flame ionization detection (FID) were used t...

background: nanotechnology is a new approach that has been lionized in recent years. one of its applications is its consumption as an absorbent. in this study, the single-wall carbon nanotubes (swcnts) were used as an absorbent for sampling benzene in the air. materials and methods: for this study, swcnts manufactured by iran and skc’s activated charcoal were used for sampling benzene vapors. p...

background: urinary organic acids are water-soluble intermediates and end products of the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and a number of other metabolic processes. in the hereditary diseases known as organic acidurias, an enzyme or co-factor defect in a metabolic pathway leads to the accumulation and increased excretion of one or more of these acidic metabolites. gas chromato...

Phenol was analyzed by both gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to compare the techniques and to find out if GCFID is a suitable tool for the analysis of phenol extracted from environmentally important phenol in water. After the treatment of water with CuSO4 and H3PO4, phenol in the water was extracted with dichloromethane. The...

Comprehensive HT-GC × GC FID/MS enables reliable detection and quantification of RCF lignin monomers, dimers and, trimers.

Metabolomics Application of GC/MS and GC/FID-based metabolomics for authentication of Asian palm civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) Kopi Luwak, world’s most expensive coffee firstly originated from Indonesia, is made from coffee berries that have been digested by the animal Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hemaphroditus). Despite its profitable prospect, there is no reliable and standardized method for det...

Many monoterpenes have been identified in forest emissions using gas chromatography (GC). Until now, it has been impossible to determine whether all monoterpenes are appropriately measured using GC techniques. We used a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS) coupled with the eddy covariance (EC) technique to measure mixing ratios and fluxes of total monoterpenes above a ponderosa p...
