Two fungal species commonly found in indoor environments, Penicillium commune and Paecilomyces variotü, were cultivated on pine wood and on a combination of gypsum board and mineral wool. Air from the cultures was adsorbed on Tenax TA and analysed using thermal desorption-cold trap injection gas chromatography. Identification of the produced volatile metabolites was performed by mass spectromet...

Nowadays, food contamination by mineral oil (MO) is a very important issue and its presence in edible oils is widely documented. Mineral oils are hydrocarbons mixture of petrochemical origin containing mainly two families of compounds, namely mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). The most used approach for mineral oil analysis is liquid chromato...

This study aims to evaluate the phenolic contents, chemical composition, mineral amount as well antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from dried black cumin (Nigella sativa L; family: Ranunculaceae) seed powder. We also performed an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion process understand effect on components and their after digestion. Black showed high amounts total flavonoid such dihydrox...

A wide range of minerals occurs in feedstuffs as naturally occurring and purposely added elements, as well as by adventitious contamination. These mineral elements can generally be classified as nutritionally essential major elements, nutritionally essential minor and trace elements, and those regarded as toxic or with an essential/toxic duality. A survey is presented of methods used for the de...

Forty-nine components of ambient particulate matter (PM) in size-fractionated PM were investigated at an urban background site in Katowice (Silesian Agglomeration in Southern Poland) in the non-heating season of 2012. PM was analyzed for two groups of carbon compounds (organic (OC) and elemental (EC) carbon, Lab OC-EC Aerosol Analyzer), five major water-soluble ions (NH4+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, and...

RECEIVED for review February 21, 1978. Accepted June 19, 1978. NMR spectra since two distinct peaks (6 -3.38, 3.78 ppm) caused by these protons are observed in CDCA vs. only one peak (6 -3.45 ppm) caused by the same protons in UDCA. T h e fingerprint region of the spectrum (6 1-2.5 ppm) and the relative position of the CIS methyl peak with respect to tha t of the doublet caused by the Cpl methy...

Relative to other metabolomics analysis techniques, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is one of the earliest applied analysis techniques in metabolomics. The first paper on metabolomics (metabolic profiling) is derived from the application of GC/MS analysis in urine and tissue extracts (Dalgliesh et al. 1966). With the arrival of omics era and the proposing of metabolomics concept, p...
