Ultra high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) with electrospray ionization has been proposed for the determination of fifteen natural destruxins (A, B, C, D, E, Ed, Ed1, A2, B2, D2, E2, Cl, DesmA, DesmB, and DH-A), secondary metabolites with insecticidal and phytotoxic activities produced by Metarhizium species fungus, which are being studied as biological agents...
The objective of this research was to utilize the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) method to extract a broad range of persistent organic pollutants from sturgeon organs (liver and gonad) as indicators of exposure. The analyte list was prioritized to include carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the most commonly occurring polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and...
The capabilities of desorption electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry (DESI-HRMS) were tested for screening the presence of some paralytic shellfish toxins in clams. A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) approach is proposed for sample clean-up. QuEChERS extraction was optimized by using a full factorial design followed by the multicriteria method of the desirability...
For the first time three methods: matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD), original and modified QuEChERS, with and without clean up step were studied in order to evaluate the extraction efficiency of various classes of pesticides from solid and liquid high sucrose content matrices. Determinations over four hundred pesticides were performed by gas and liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass...
This study determined twenty six the highly sensitive phenoxy, pyridines, aliphatic and aromatic acid compounds in soil with a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The samples were prepared by modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) analytical procedure in solid samples. Herbicides extraction effectiveness was evaluated at three different spiking levels (0.01,...
Organosiloxanes, namely volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs) are one of the most relevant classes of ingredients incorporated in personal care products (PCPs), such as creams and lotions, bath soaps and hair care products. Their use has caused concern among the scientific community due to their potential toxic behaviour to human health and environment.This manuscript reports the first application of QuEChERS...
Pharmaceuticals are ubiquitously present in the aquatic environment, mainly due to insufficient removal in wastewater treatment plants. Although these compounds are often found at trace levels in waters, long-term exposure can have negative impacts on biotic communities due to their inherent biological activity. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most frequently...
The phenolic compounds, secondary metabolites of hops represent a large family of compounds that could be subsequently divided into smaller groups based on the similarities between their chemical structures. The antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties of hops are well known, but there is a lack of information about antimicrobial activities of individual hop compounds.This study was carried...
