Aromatic plant species present in the natural Park of Tuscany Archipelago are used as flavoring agents and spices, as dietary supplements and in cosmetics and aromatherapy. The plants are usually collected from wild stands, inducing a depletion of the natural habitat. Therefore, micropropagation of these aromatic plants can play a role in the protection of the natural ecosystem, can guarantee a...

The aim of this study was to compare the volatile compounds between Changyu XO and Hennessy XO. Sensory evaluation was performed by a panel of tasters. Qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis was achieved by headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). A total of 160 volatile compounds w...

This study aimed to determine the volatile profile of cashew apple fibers to verify which compounds are still present after successive washings and thus might be responsible for the undesirable remaining cashew-like aroma present in this co-product, which is used to formulate food products like vegetarian burgers and cereal bars. Fibers were obtained from cashew apple juice processing and washe...

2 Headspace sampling for gas chromatographic (GC) analysis has many advantages, the most important of which is the elimination of many interferences from the sample matrix. In addition to the standard methods for headspace sampling, the technique of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has found wide acceptance because it is simple and inexpensive. More recently, single-drop microextraction (SDME...

This survey critically discusses high-concentration-capacity (HCC) headspace (HS) techniques applied to sample the volatile fraction of matrices of interest in the flavors and fragrance fields. In particular, the advantages, limits, and fields of application of HS solid-phase microextraction (SPME), high-capacity HS sorptive extraction (HSSE) and HS solid-phase dynamic extraction (SPDE) are eva...

A headspace solid-phase microextraction method was developed for the preconcentration and extraction of methyl tert-butyl ether. An ionic-liquid-mediated multiwalled carbon nanotube-poly(dimethylsiloxane) hybrid coating, which was prepared by covalent functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with hydroxyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) using the sol-gel technique, was used as solid-...

Spectrometric techniques for the analysis of trace cadmium have developed rapidly due to the increasing need for accurate measurements at extremely low levels of this element in diverse matrices. This review covers separation and preconcentration procedures, such as electrochemical deposition, precipitation, coprecipitation, solid phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and cloud point...

urinary 1-hydroxypyrene is frequently used as a major metabolite and biological indicator of the overall exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. in this study, solid phase extraction was appropriately conditioned with regard to sample ph, sample concentration, loading flow rate, elution solvent, washing solvent, sample volume and sorbent mass. octadecyl silica cartridge (c18) was used as ...

The selection of appropriate grapevine trellis systems is great importance for regulating vine vigor, forming grape yield, improving fruit quality, and labor-saving field management in the North China Plain. effects two on viticultural characteristics quality three table cultivars: RuiduHongyu (RDHY), RuiduXiangyu (RDXY), Red Globe (RG) were investigated. were: (i) T trellis, with shoots positi...
