23 Since usual processes involve water as absorbent, they appear not always really efficient for the treatment of 24 hydrophobic VOC. Recently, absorption and biodegradation coupling in a two-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB) 25 proved to be a promising technology for hydrophobic compound treatment. The choice of the organic phase, the non26 aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) is based on various pa...

A microwave-induced, steam/Ar/O2, plasma "torch" was operated at atmospheric pressure to determine the feasibility of destroying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of concern. The plasma process can be coupled with adsorbent technology by providing steam as the fluid carrier for desorbing the VOCs from an adsorbent. Hence, N2 can be excluded by using a relatively inexpensive carrier gas, and the...

A diffusion chamber is described which concentrates short-chain, volatile fatty acids from seawater while simultaneously separating them from interfering salts. The procedure relies on the passive diffusion of volatile compounds from acidified seawater samples and their subsequent absorption onto a base-impregnated filter. The method is simple, efficient, and adaptable to most commonly used met...

In order to elucidate the aroma components of wine produced in the Loess Plateau region of China, volatile compounds of young wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Gernischet and Chardonnay varieties grown in the new ecological region were investigated for the first time in this research. Among the volatile compounds analyzed by HS-SPME with GC-MS, a total of 45, 44 and 42 volatile compounds ...

laurus nobilis l. (sweet laurel) is one of the volatile oil bearing plants of lauraceae family. it is cultivated in different parts of iran and its leaves and fruits have been used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. there are a few reports about the effects of some environmental conditions on the quality and quantity of laurel volatiles. the goal of our work was to search the sea...

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) has been optimized and applied to the determination of the volatile halogenated compounds (VHCs) and semi-volatile halogenated compounds (SVHCs). Three types of SPME fiber coated with different stationary phases (PDMS-100 mum, CAR/PDMS-75 mum, PDMS/DVB-65 mum) were used to examine their extraction efficiencies for the compounds tested. Experimental parameters ...

The antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanins, total phenolics, volatile compounds, and postharvest quality of strawberry fruit were evaluated after treatment with natural antimicrobial compounds and during storage at 7.5 ◦C. Strawberries treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ) in conjunction with ethanol (MJ-ETOH) showed higher antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, and anthocyanins than those treat...

Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is an established technique for the analysis of volatile organic compounds in aqueous solutions and in air. A thin membrane is the only interface between a liquid or gaseous sample at atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of a mass spectrometer. Since its introduction about 35 years ago MIMS has been applied mainly in biochemistry and environmental analysis...

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography has been applied for the headspace analysis (HS) of 12 target flavour compounds in a model orange beverage emulsion. The main volatile flavour compounds studied were: acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, alpha-pinene, ethyl butyrate, beta-pinene, myrcene, limonene, gamma-terpinene, octanal, decanal, linalool and citral (neral plus gerania...
