a method to quick detect concentration of lecithin in eggs, namely microwave digestion spectrophotometry, was established in this research. the homogenate of eggs was treated with absolute ethanol to eliminate phosphate protein in eggs which could possibly affect concentration of lecithin examined. a sample then received a new way of pre-treatment, called microwave digestion, before uv-vis spec...

The effectiveness of microwave-assisted protein digestion in different well positions of a 96-well microplate was investigated where microwave-assisted protein digestion of bovine serum albumin was performed in 10 different wells of a 96-well microplate in a microwave oven. Similarly increased sequence coverages (~70%) were generally observed for the 10 microwaveassisted protein digestion sampl...

in this work a rapid and selective procedure for separation and preconcentration of lead(pb2+) before determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (etaas) wasdeveloped. the procedure is based on the electrodeposition on a graphite probe modified withpalladium. the lead was deposited from acetate buffer solution at ph 5.5. various parameters,such as ph of solutions, deposition ...

In this study, we demonstrated that microwave-assisted enzymatic digestion could be greatly accelerated by multifunctional magnetite beads. The acceleration of microwave-assisted enzymatic digestion by the presence of the magnetite beads was attributable to several features of the beads. Their capacity to absorb microwave radiation leads to rapid heating of the beads. Furthermore, their negativ...

To investigate the conditions of microwave digestion for determining Iron in milk powder by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry(FAAS), the content of iron in milk powder was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry after the samples were microwavely digested under different conditions. The optimum parameters for microwave digestion were obtained by the orthogonal test at la...

Five sample digestion procedures were evaluated for the determination of Al, B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Sr, and Zn in food samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The 5 procedures include dry ashing at 500 degrees C, wet digestion with HNO3-HClO4, microwave digestion with HNO3, microwave digestion with HNO3-H2O2, and microwave digestion with HNO3-H2O2-HF. Fo...

The work describes the accelerated enzymatic digestion of several proteins in various solvent systems under microwave irradiation. The tryptic fragments of the proteins were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Under the influence of rapid microwave heating, these enzymatic reactions can proceed in a solvent such as chloroform, which, under traditional dige...

Immune complexome analysis is a method for identifying and profiling of antigens in circulating immune complexes (CICs); it involves separation of immune complexes from serum, direct tryptic digestion of these complexes, and protein analysis via nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS). To improve this method, we initially investigated the effects of two factors-the g...

The combinations of gel electrophoresis or LC and mass spectrometry are two popular approaches for large scale protein identification. However, the throughput of both approaches is limited by the speed of the protein digestion process. Present research into fast protein enzymatic digestion has been focused mainly on known proteins, and it is unclear whether these results can be extrapolated to ...
